Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda accord. The contact stated that while making a slight right turn, the steering wheel seized. In addition, the contact stated that the brakes seized and the vehicle violently jerked forward. As a result, the contact drove over a curb and crashed into a stop sign and a gravel road. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
There is a known fabrication defect of the steering column on honda accord 2009 model. A service bulletin was issued by honda corporation regarding this issue in 2009. The lower bearing of the steering column was mis-installed. As a result, the steering column makes a clunk noise when the steering wheel is turned. I first brought this issue to the attention of the honda dealership soon after I purchased the car in october 2009. They did not do anything about it. Meanwhile the steering became sticky.
