My daughter (17 years old) was driving at 35 miles in leona valley ca on last friday 2015 her honda civic (7,000 miles on odometer). Her car low-pressure air light came on and then car started to swerve violently left to right. Within few minutes the car brakes stopped functioning (according to her, it felt she was pushing on air when she pressed the brake paddle) and then the steering wheel locked. The car ended up on its side and caught fire. It started a brush fire (25 acres) here in ca.
Ever since I bought this car, the steering has been driving me crazy!! I cannot keep this vehicle straight while driving on the freeway. I thought it was because of the original cheap tires that came with the vehicle. I am on my 3rd set of tires and 3 alignments from the dealership with no fix!!! No matter what I do.... The car swerves all over the road. Especially when going highway speeds. Contacted honda corporate and they basically said they can't do anything.
