Consumer Description

In the middle of last year, at 44K miles, I noticed my steering was "twitchy". It feels like a magnet is sticking and results in constant steering inputs. This issue has gotten worse overtime and I took it to the dealer in September. They said there was a recall for steering malfunction on several Honda vehicles, but not mine. Reading information online, there are lots of complaints and concerns for multiple years and Honda models that EXACTLY match what I am experiencing. Why are some VIN's begin recalled but mine when I have the same symptoms??? This issue is dangerous at highway at speed. I just drove 500 miles this weekend and had to constantly move the wheel left/right, left/right to maintain my lane. It's exhausting, the steering feels heavy, twitchy and does not hold a straight line. Sometimes you can feel it twitch sitting at a stop light. My car is in MINT condition, garage kept, perfectly maintained and never abused. This is not a wear item. A steering rack should not be replaced at such low mileage. But most importantly, it is dangerous at highway speed and requires EXTREME FOCUS to keep the car in the lane. I will not let my two boys drive this car. I hope this is addressed by NHTSA to prevent injuries or death.
