I've been to Honda twice to get an alignment in 1 month, but for some reason it seems that the car continues to pull to the right. A few days ago I came across and article mentioning issues with Honda steering wheels, so I'm wondering if my car has the same issue.

Body: the tension bar does not open the car trunk lid all the way which more often drops down and hit the person's head or face who is putting stuffs in the trunk assuming it is fully open all the way. I did got hit twice by the corner and edge of the trunk lid on the forehead and left temple. The latter caused bruise and pain that took me a week to recover. Should change weak tension bar to strong gas tube operation. Engine: the car vibrates and rattles upon putting on reverse gear even after at least a minute warmup in the morning. The dealer said it is normal for this type of car? This is very embarrassing for a newer car. I never see this in a toyota cars that I owned: sienna, avalon... Seats: driver seat is not well designed and causing awkward and uncomfortable and fatigue position while driving. There is insufficiency of support for lumbar are ( the current one is too soft and sitting back so there is virtually no support at all). Again toyota cars seem not having this kind of problem. Also, the driver window is not tall enough that even a 5'6" person can bang his head to the top of the window when getting up and out of the drive seat. It should be 2" taller to avoid this problem. They should put cushion to the top edge and safety grip handle at the minimum. Driving condition: the car seems to wander when running on freeway at normal speed.

I was on my way to la driving my 2014 honda accord lx, southbound on hwy 5. After about 3 hours of driving, I was in the right lane with both hands on the wheel, cruise control on going about 72 MPH when the car suddenly veered to the left. I tried to slow down with the brake and fought with the car trying to get it to go straight however the car was out of control. I tried to turn the steering wheel to the right to stop the car from going to the left however the car would not cooperate and was all over the road, both lanes. It continued to swerve left into the right lane causing it to spin backwards off the road and into the dirt. I still was unable to stop the car as it continued then rolled over. I was upside down and trapped in my car. My feet were under the steering wheel and my body was lengthwise across the passenger seat....my seat belt still on. I unbuckled and tried to open the door which I could not open. My cell phone was on a charger and was still within reach so I immediately called 911 (9:35am) and told dispatch I was in an accident and another motorist had already called it in. The chp officer was able to pull the door open. I had a towel on the passenger seat which was now under me so I handed it to him to lay over the glass, I was then able to crawl out of my car. My hands were bleeding especially one spot on my left hand that wouldn't stop so the officer got out his emergency bag and handed me gauze to put on my hand. Eventually the bleeding stopped. The chp said he has seen accidents like mine and the outcome was not good. 2014 honda accords are under investigation for power steering issues. Complaints state 'car pulling to the left'. (carproblemzoo.com) medical issues: whiplash, soft tissue injury to neck and back, cuts to hands and left arm, bruises to left arm, thigh and knee. Was unable to upload pictures.

This is the fourth time that I have brought my vehicle to the dealer to be inspected. I finally got my car inspected a third time after contacting honda corporate. The steering wheel had to be reset. However, the vehicle still does not drive straight. After an alignment and the steering wheel reset, the vehicle still pulls to the right. I have contacted honda corporate and they are really useless. Their motto "helpful honda" is the biggest load hot air ever. They are having someone from honda corporate come to inspect the car now. But they refuse to work with me to take the car back, even though this is a major safety issue and this is the fourth time for it to be brought for service. The car is only 7 months old and has 7000 miles. All honda had to say was to contact a third party. Heplful, was nothing close to the service and treatment I received from honda so far.

After a couple of months of driving my new 2014 honda, I felt the car swaying and pulling to the right. It was difficult for me to keep the car driving straight. I took the car in to be inspected in august because the pulling became very severe even when driving 30mph I could feel it. They said the alignment was off and readjusted the alignment. The car drove much better. A month later now I feel the car start to pull to the right again. Not as bad as before but still noticeable. I tried to take it in and the dealership drove it around the block and said it was fine. I tried to explain it to them but they said its from the crown in the road. None of my other cars have had this problem. I have contact honda corporate and waiting to be contacted. I had to go into the dealership and request the service director because I felt that this is a major safety issue and was not being taken serious.

Car is pulling to the left at moderate to high speeds and it's driving me crazy because I travel 90% highway and it's not a safe situation. The car is a 2014 accord ex-l 4 with only 1160 miles. I'm beginning to suspect the goodyear tires that came with it as I drove the v6 version which comes with michelins and I didn't experience any pulling. I also drove another new ex-l 4 cyl with goodyear tires and it pulled just like mine does. It's not pulling because of the crown in the road. I've been driving cars for 20 years and never experienced anything like this. Been to shop under warranty three times. 1) adjusted tire pressure 2) full alignment 3) fresh set of goodyear fuel max tires. I don't think these are good tires but they are oem.
