Narrative

The steering sticked to complete super heavy to try to pull and I tried to brake and lost control and crashed into a tree damaging my right side fender and front tire. This car is unsafe putting my life on the line. EX-L civic is not safe. The issue doesn't go away it does it every time I go 30-45 and steering just stop working as in it stuck and heavy so I took it in after the incident and dealership told me everything looks fine they joy ride my car and didn't catch it so I told them to let me drive them and they caught it stating its can be steering rack which they want me to pay out of pocket for I told them warranty should cover it they stated not a defect just failure from my driving which is not right as the car only had 500 miles. I always hear noise of a tapping between the wheel and something else.
