What owners wrote
We were traveling east on hwy 63 going home. The lane departure assist came on but we were not out of lane. We kept traveling a little further and the steering was stiff. We were traveling about 53 MPH and the car all of a sudden jerked very sharp to the right and we went off the road hitting parked truck and flipped it. The wheels just turned the right and would not let us turn the wheel
Tire blew from unknown reason in september 2020. Car purchased in june 2020. Replaced tire in september from brooks huff. Tpm light is now coming on after a scheduled rotation/oil change. Brooks huff checked pressure of all 4 tires and light was reset with calibration. Light came back on same day. Took to honda dealer on 12/5 in york pa and was advised tpm light was coming on due tire replacement in september from a tire manufactured in USA not france like other 3 tires.
