LATELY, I DECIDED NOT TO DRIVE MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD ON THE HIGHWAY FOR SAFETY PRECAUTION UNTIL THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DOES SOMETHING ABOUT MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE FULL CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 40 MPH. I TOOK BACK FOUR TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAW NOTHING WRONG. I KNOW IT IS STEERING ISSUE. ONE WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR A WHILE TO ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM THAT AM HAVING WITH IT. I WILL TAKE IT BACK AFTER THE HOLIDAY FOR A REPLACEMENT. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER I WILL NOT KEEP ON DRIVING A CAR WHICH REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND OTHERS. THE PROBLEM IS FELT ON BOTH, THE CITY STREET AND THE HIGHWAY.
