NHTSA Complaint #10919326 — 2012 HONDA ACCORD

I NOTICED MY STEERING WAS GETTING HARD TO TURN AROUND 42K MILES. AFTER CHANGED NEW TIRES AND DONE WHEEL BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT, THE SAME CONTINUED AND FELT THE PAIN IN MY HANDS EVERY TIME. I REQUESTED TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL AND THE HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT NO ISSUES. AS TIME CONTINUED THE STEERING PROBLEM GOT WORST. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WAS NOT GOOD, ITS HARD TO SIMPLE TURN ALSO MY WIFE ALSO OBSERVED THE SAME AND TOLD ME THAT MANUAL POWER WHILE GETTING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, OR WHEN HAVING TO TURN WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN DURING THE OIL CHANGE AND HE HAS TOLD ME THAT IT NEED TO BE REPLACED AND LITTLE BIT DIRTY AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY AFTER A WHILE. IT IS SAME AND NO PROGRESS, IT GOT WORST! ASKING THE DEALERSHIP FOR COST RELIEF FROM HONDA FOR REPAIR AND DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST THOUGH. *TR
