Description of the problem | I was driving my honda cr-v on a highway using the hov lane. At some point while driving normally the front driver side seemed to have collapse and the car started pulling strong in one direction towards the center divider line. With two hands on the wheel the pull was so strong that i would barely control the car and keep it from crashing into the divider. Barely missing the divider i managed to stop the car on the shoulder luckily without anyone colliding into me. If i was driving in the middle lane this could have prompted a major accident. I didn't go over any pothole or obstruction on the road. No one hit me nor did i hit anyone. No airbags inflated nor warning indicators appear on the console. I called the police and once on the scene the police swept the highway to determine if there were any potholes or obstacles that could have caused the incident. They confirmed that non existed and that the road was deemed safe. There was no police report produced as the police deemed the incident to be a non accident and instead a breakdown since there was no collision or altercation. When looking at the car damage there was significant damage to the wheel, wheel well, rim which split up vertically, rotar, suspension, wheel caliper, brakes (which fell off in pieces) and basically everything attached to the driver side wheel. The vehicle needed to be towed as it was not operational at that point. When brought back to the honda dealer the dealer could not find anything reported on the computer. There only explanation was that the car was involved in an accident. The dealer did not want to further investigate or find fault even though the vehicle was still covered under the warranty. This incident seemed to be a mechanical malfunction that occurred that almost took my life and could be a potential safely concern for other honda cr-v drivers if not properly investigated. |
