35 Structure problem of the 2007 Honda Ridgeline

Failure Date: 11/01/2009

We own a 2007 Honda Ridgeline. The metal inner ring on the steering wheel separated from the rubbery outer ring. This defect causes the outer ring to twist and give off an odor. The odor makes me feel like I need to vomit. The combination of the unsecured outer ring and the distraction of the urge to vomit makes for unsafe driving. This started over a year ago and has gradually gotten worse. We contacted Honda as well as our extended warranty company and got no help. We would like the steering wheel replaced.
