I experienced a safety issue with my Honda Fit vehicle (I have a 2007 non-sport model, automatic) on March 26. After stopping at an intersection, I made a right hand turn and the steering wheel seemed to lock into place. The car continued turning to the right, nearly hitting the curb. I managed to force the steering wheel to the left and straightened the car. I then realized what had happened: one of the keys on my key chain had been sticking out and got stuck in a small orifice that is located on the back side of the steering wheel, near where it meets the steering column. The orifice is just big enough to Fit a finger inside. (there is an orifice on both the left and right sides of the wheel. ) I reported this to both the Honda "800" customer service number and to my local Honda dealer in princeton, NJ.
- the contact stated that the vehicle accelerates by itself. When he turns the steering wheel either left or right the vehicle proceeds at approximately 2-5 mph. The contact states all he has to do is turn the steering wheel slightly and the vehicle moves forward. He took the car into the dealer to have it looked at and they could not find any problems. He said they compared the vehicle to another Honda civic 07 and was told that is how these cars work. The contact is concerned that when he turns the wheel and steps on the gas pedal his speed doubles. The contact has a Honda civic ex, it is not listed as an option in the menu.
