What owners wrote
Travelling on interstate highway at speed limit of 70 MPH. Car started to drift to the left, started to try and ease back right into the lane and car went out of control right and off the road into the woods on the side of interstate and into trees.
On monday, may 14, 2018, I was driving on the freeway and a very scary situation happened while driving. My steering wheel suddenly tightened up and I felt, as though I was no longer in control of my car. I slowed down because I was not sure what was going to happen next. I managed to drive to a honda dearer.
