My 2012 honda civic lx coupe has extremely vague steering feel at speeds greater than 55 MPH, causing excessive and repeated correction to maintain proper course. The car also veers to the right on a regular basis causing me to direct the steering wheel towards the left to continue driving straight. The dealer has performed a 4 wheel alignment twice without resolution. They have also inspected the steering and suspension components, as well as done a road test. No problems are reported, thus no repairs could be done. Previous hondas do not evidence this problem. The issue remains and is persistent.

My 2012 honda civic lx coupe has extremely vague steering feel, causing excessive and repeated correction to maintain proper course. The car also veers to the right on a regular basis causing me to direct the steering wheel towards the left to continue driving straight. I have had a honda dealer address this problem, and while it seems slightly better the underlying problems, including its veering rightward remain annoyingly persistent.
I got into a accident last monday, feb. 13, 2012, like around 8 or 9 in the morning. I was making a right turn when my car went out of control even though I was already stepping on the brakes and I was trying to turn the steering wheel to the left but the car just kept going to the right until I hit the pole sign that says "no parking at all times" (something like that). The metal pole that I hit broke and almost 1/4 of that metal pole that was stuck to the ground scraped the bottom of part of my car and the bottom covering fell off and it cost $4,000.00 to repair and now I have to pay $500.00 for my deductible which is not even my fault why my car did that. It wasn't the first time my car did that. It did something weird twice last year before I got into this accident last week. First was last year, a month or two after I got my car when I was driving on the freeway when I tried stepping on the breaks and instead of my car slowing down, it suddenly accelerated. Thank goodness there's no car in front of me. Then the second time was I think around november or december of last year when my friend was test driving the car to see if she wants to buy the same thing. We were together in the car and she was driving when she stopped stepping on the gas and brakes and the car just accelerated by itself. She was surprised that it that but we both figured that any car is just like that and since we both don't know anything about cars we thought it was normal for my car to accelerate on its own until I got into this accident, the police told me that it is not normal for my car to do that specially when I'm already stepping on the brakes. :(
Tl* the contact owns 2012 honda civic. The contact stated that there was a fuel leak and the vehicle pulled toward the right while driving. The dealer attempted on two occasions to repair the alignment failure, but was unsuccessful. The manufacturer informed the contact that there was a recall, but she would have to pay to have the vehicle repaired. The federal safety agency campaign id number was 11v288000 (fuel system, other: delivery: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The contact planned on taking the vehicle in to an authorized dealer and the manufacturer would be notified. The failure mileage was 6,000.
