Steering has felt loose for as long as I remember. Tires were lasting only 15k miles and front brakes go bad yearly. I have a good 1 to 2 inches of play turning the wheel to both left and right. I asked multiple mechanics to tighten the steering column down including Honda service department mechanics but they said it couldn't be done. When I moved farther away from my kids school in 2018 I had the car inspected by Honda for anything wrong since now my kids will be commuting 25 miles to school and back in it. Service told me my bushings were bad. My car had about 40k miles on it at that time. Also at that time no one mentioned that the part was previously on an extended warranty or that there was a recall on the spindle nuts that weren't tightened down correctly nor did I receive notification from Honda regarding those issues. From what I read online about these parts is that they are a huge safety issue as you can lose control of your vehicle at anytime. I really feel that the bushings went bad from the fact that the spindle nuts weren't tightened down and everything has been jiggling around and adding strain to the rest of the suspension. I think the extended warranty on the bushings wasn't enough. Honda needs to recall those parts as well. Please advise.
