Consumer Description

PURCHASED NEW 2012 HONDA ACCORD I NOTICED ON MY WAY HOME FROM DEALER THAT AT 60 TO 66 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND SHIMMYS ALSO THE VEHICLE PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT REGARDLESS OF THE ROAD CROWN. THE DEALER HAS BALANCED AND ROADFORCED BALANCED THE TIRES ROTATED THE TIRES AND ALIGNED THE VEHICLE BUT I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER DRIVING 2 OTHER BRAND NEW ACCORDS FROM HIS LOT AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME DEFECT AT THE EXACT SAME SPEED LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE ACCORD HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH ITS STEERING SYSTEM. AMERICAN HONDA HAS NOT MADE ANY EFFORT ON THEIR PART TO HELP ME OR TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 3RD ACCORD. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
