I was driving on the street approximately 25mph, suddenly the steering wheel locked up on me. The vehicle had approximately 270,000 mi on it. I checked american honda recalls and found a recall order. Copies of he documents enclosed. I reported the problem and explained the circumstances of the problem. I was told that recalls are VIN specific and vehicle does not show anything on their records. I made and researched and found the documents which I've enclosed copies with this complaint. I was told to talk with honda dealership so they could advice me about the problem. I went to norm reeves honda, as much as I did, I was ignored, no one listened, all I was told was call back american honda in which I said I have done..they did not do anything to check on it and no explanation about it was oven except their records show a part number that upon my insistence for more info, I was totally ignored. The recall notice was issued feb 22, 2013 titled, "electrical system ignition switch" which clearly explains the issuance of the recall order.. Although the 15 year warranty has lapsed since the issuance of the order. If there was something done on the lever, they did not replaced or did anything on the ignition switch which is the only reason that I see is connected with what happened to the vehicle and my safety and the public's.*dt consumer stated dealer told him recall was done but vehicle still has problems with steering wheel.

Was driving my wife and 4 small children to decatur,al from huntsville,al to the riverwalk and out of nowhere started feeling a small shake and then very noticeable frightening full vehicle shaking which startled my family and frightened myself,I really thought we were about to have a wreck. Let off the accelerator and it started to not be so violent in the shaking,and then accelerated slightly again and there it was again,and I believe it may be the transmission. I am not a mechanic but upon doing some recent research I see that it is either failed rear or motor mounts or even the tranny what ever that means. But if it is a failed defect then they should address this because this is disturbing and unsafe to me,and my family never made it to the riverwalk. Why do we pay so much for a vehicle and then can not get any help other than funds we hardly have?

I have been able to replicate this issue several times, each time being able to remove the key from the ignition while the vehicle is still in drive. I have been fully stopped with my foot on the brake each time.
