Low-mileage Honda Accord's front end front end anti-sway bar's link connectors broke and sway bar was disconnected from the wheels creating a dangerous driving condition; especially normal driving into turns and curves! american Honda refused to discuss the safety issues and only stated my car was "out-of-warranty". This problem of the losses of both anti-sway bar connectors is difficult to detect; only a soft scraping noise warned me of the danger. I purchased this Accord new and have driven it carefully for the 20,700 miles. I am concerned about the general public's awareness of this hidden Honda Accord problem before their front end wheels snap or bend causing accidents and/or fatalities!.
I have had my 2003 Honda Accord ex automatic 4 cylinder VIN# jhmcm56673c021598 at nalley Honda in brunswick, GA to be aligned three times. 9-23-03 had recall work and pulling to the right alignment done. Picked car up on 9-26-03 and drove home (st. Marys, GA) approximately 45 miles and car was still pulling to the right and the steering wheel is off centered to the right. Called nalley Honda and spoke with the service director mr. Frank hall. He said bring it back. 9-29-03 second alignment and steering wheel adjusted straight. This time mr. Hall gave me a copy of the alignment specifications, but the specifications/tolerances were listed for a Honda Accord from 1998-2002. Picked car up on 10-2-03 and drove home. Car still pulls to the right. Called nalley Honda and spoke with the service director mr. Frank hall and he said to bring it back again. 10-6-03 went on a test drive before leaving it with mr. Hall and he agreed the car pulled to the right. Third alignment performed. Picked up car on 10-10-03 and mr. Hall stated he and the owner of the alignment shop drove the car and it was satisfactory. Again I take my car and it still pulls to the right as I am driving home. Now the steering wheel has a shimmy vibration and the steering is tight and jerky. Called mr. Hall at nalley Honda and he said they cannot do anything else and referred me to american Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009. I called american Honda customer service on 10-15-03 and spoke with mr. Tony yun and gave him the above information and he said he would get back to me in 24 to 48 hours. He said he needed to talk to nalley Honda. On 10-16-03 mr. Yun called back and said he had spoke with mr. Hall. He said mr. Hall at nalley Honda stated the car was satisfactory and said it drove better than his own Honda. Mr. Yun suggested I carry my car to another Honda dealership to see if they could align the car to suit me.
The steering wheel vibrates while driving and when at a complete stop. The dealer found no problem. Please provide further details.
