Steering Tie Rod Assembly Problems of Honda Civic

I brought my 2016 Honda Civic to darling' s Honda in bangor, maine for steering problems. The steering sticks in one position and requires a little force to turn the steering wheel to correct the direction. The sticking causes the vehicle to jerk, and sticks again in the other position. It does not always do this, the vehicle must be driven for a while sometimes. I advised the service advisor (sa), bradley gonya, that numerous other people (several Honda forums) have had the same issue, and they all stated that it was the electronic steering causing the problem. The sa, said they hooked it up to the computer to find a code, to which there was no faulty code. The sa, said they road tested the vehicle but could not duplicate the concern. *note: mileage in 38290, mileage out 38291 as stated on receipt ( � mile out test drive and � mile back. Sa stated that the ball joints and struts checked ok. Removed outer tie rod ends from knuckles and rechecked steering, no problems found. The vehicle was there for one week, the sa stated that they would check it daily to try to duplicate the problem. I advised the sa that the vehicle needed to be driven to duplicate, and that I did not want to pay the outrageous $120 per hour rate for them to just look and ride, and I restated that the problem was the electronic steering system. The sa stated that unless the computer states that there is a problem, they can't change the part.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Civic. While attempting to stop the vehicle, it veered to the right and all of the warning lights illuminated. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a pole. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tie rod had fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 12,000.

To whom it may concern: the purpose of this letter is to complain about the treatment I received from Honda of America. I was in a minor accident on June 11 2008. The accident was caused by the tie rod breaking on my 2006 Honda Civic as I was driving on a city street at 25 miles per hour. The mechanical failure caused my car to veer into 2 parked cars causing minor damage to each. The attending officer stated that the accident was obviously the result of a mechanical failure and did not issue any tickets. The body shop owner also agreed that a mechanical failure caused the accident. This prompted me to inform Honda of America of the accident caused by the broken tie rod. Hondas response was you will be contacted in 2 to 3 weeks. In the mean time the car was not fixed as everything was on hold waiting for Hondas response. In fact the car was not fixed until 7/24/08, 43 days later. Contact was made by christian k. Skjervold of m. A. Jordan CO. Inc. Located in minneapolis mn. Mr. Skjervold visit was very unpleasant. His only objective was to badger me into admitting that I had somehow broken the tie rod myself. I am 81 years old and drive quite conservatively. He suggested repeatedly that perhaps I had been driving recklessly and damaged the car before hand. He informed me that he would be in contact in 2 weeks. I heard nothing until I contacted him in late September. A week later I received a letter from Honda stating that based on their investigation the tie rod had broken as a result of the accident contradicting all of the available information. The letter goes on to state that tie rod was not broken but was bent in the middle. This is pure fabrication and I have all of the broken parts in my garage to prove it. If this is the way Honda handles this type of problem I will assume you have a file on them already. Please add this to your data base. Any suggestions on how to follow up with Honda would also be appreciated.

Problems with transmission and tie rod bolts were loose. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer because there was a noise in the passenger front wheel and the gears were grinding when moving form second to third gear. The technician told the consumer that the vehicle's tires were bald therefore she was racing the car. He went on to say that he would not check the transmission unless she agreed to pay for it. The consumer appealed the decision of the dealer and contacted the manufacturer. The struts were loose on the right side. The tie rod bolts were loose which was probably the cause of the bald tires. The manufacturer refused to honor the warranty for the transmission although the vehicle was only six months old.
