NHTSA Complaint #10470465 — 2012 HONDA ACCORD

I AM INTO MY FIRST YEAR OF LEASING THIS NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS 3 TIMES. IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER/SHOP THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A "DEFINITE SHIMMY" SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ( 60-65 ). THEY HAVE DONE ALL THE NECESSARY STEPS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS WORKED. I HAVE CALLED HONDA MFG AND FILED A REPORT AS WELL. I WAS TOLD BY THE MFG, THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A HONDA REP. THAT IT MAY BE A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF SOME ACCORDS. I FEEL AS A CONSUMER THIS WOULD BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DON NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, THE A/C HAS BEEN WORKED ON 3 TIMES AS WELL, AND STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHY CAN'T THE DEALER AUTHORIZE A REPLACEMENT WHEN IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED? WHY WOULD THE DEALER EVEN LET ME LEAVE LOT KNOWING IT HAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM? SHOULDN'T SAFETY COME FIRST FOR ALL? *TR
