Description of the problem | I did not have an accident but when i went to purchase 4-cylinder 2010 honda accord i notice that steering system was completely unacceptable and unsafe. I used to be a steering engineer hence know the system expectations. I did not buy the vehicle. Steering does not return to center. I drove my friends car and it has the same issue. Someone can get really hurt. This is typically a safety to fuel economy tradeoff engineering choice. I do not work in auto industry anymore but wanted government to investigate this issue. |
