One problem related to steering linkages has been reported for the 1997 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle was manufactured 5/97. Nhtsa campaign id 99v069000 recalled similar model for defective ball joints, for units manufactured from 7/97 to 8/97. I believe my model, manufactured 5/97, has same problem. Car makes "groaning" noise when wheel is turned at startup, and around curves. Fear unsafe condition could lead to accident. Please immediately extend recall #99v069000 to cover Honda Accord 1997 models manufactured in months prior to July 1997!!! I asked dealer to check ball joints during routine maintenance, was told that my model was not affected by recall.
