STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A CAR WAS VEERING INTO MY LANE. AS I WENT TO THE LEFT MY STEERING WHEEL JUST KEPT SPINNING AND THE TIRES WERE GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT CORRESPONDING WITH THE TIRES. WE JERKED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FROM LANE TO LANE UNTIL WE FINALLY CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE WALL OF THE HIGHWAY. WE THEN SPUN OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE WE RESTED. HONDA HAD NOT RESPONDED AT THIS TIME BUT EVERYONE INCLUDING THE GUYS AT THE HIS BODY SHIP FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR
