NHTSA Complaint #10273030 — 2009 HONDA ACCORD

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING IN MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD. I MADE A LEFT TURN, AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME. I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I WAS STUCK IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I ALMOST GOT HIT ON THE LEFT SIDE BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. A FEW DAYS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO INSTALLED ME A NEW STEERING COLUMN. A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE LOCKING UP OF THE STEERING WHEEL, I KEPT HEARING A CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER I MAKE A TURN. AFTER THE LOCKING UP OF THE STEERING WHEEL, THE CLICKING NOISE CONTINUED. THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO CALL THE DEALER. AFTER THE FIRST LOCKING UP, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP A COUPLE MORE TIMES. *TR
