Description of the problem | I was on my way to la driving my 2014 honda accord lx, southbound on hwy 5. After about 3 hours of driving, i was in the right lane with both hands on the wheel, cruise control on going about 72 mph when the car suddenly veered to the left. I tried to slow down with the brake and fought with the car trying to get it to go straight however the car was out of control. I tried to turn the steering wheel to the right to stop the car from going to the left however the car would not cooperate and was all over the road, both lanes. It continued to swerve left into the right lane causing it to spin backwards off the road and into the dirt. I still was unable to stop the car as it continued then rolled over. I was upside down and trapped in my car. My feet were under the steering wheel and my body was lengthwise across the passenger seat.... My seat belt still on. I unbuckled and tried to open the door which i could not open. My cell phone was on a charger and was still within reach so i immediately called 911 (9:35am) and told dispatch i was in an accident and another motorist had already called it in. The chp officer was able to pull the door open. I had a towel on the passenger seat which was now under me so i handed it to him to lay over the glass, i was then able to crawl out of my car. My hands were bleeding especially one spot on my left hand that wouldn't stop so the officer got out his emergency bag and handed me gauze to put on my hand. Eventually the bleeding stopped. The chp said he has seen accidents like mine and the outcome was not good. 2014 honda accords are under investigation for power steering issues. Complaints state |
