Driving on [XXX] with my [XXX] plus son in the back seat on car babysitting seat. Was turning right to next lane for exit, the steering wheel got stiff, very hard to turn like locked up then airbag suddenly deployed immediately car went to left side hitting the curb.
When pressing the throttle during low speeds, the car hesitates with no change to RPM and no response from the engine to produce power to increase vehicle speed. In order to overcome the hesitation, I have to fully disengage my right foot from the throttle and press the throttle again in order for the engine to respond to my command and provide power. This solution does not always rectify the problem to where sometimes I just wait for the car to pick up on my command to increase speed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda crosstour. While driving approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. Additionally, the contact heard an abnormal whining sound under the hood while attempting to start the vehicle. Assuming that the battery was probably defective, the contact purchased a new battery and replaced the old battery; however, the failure recurred. Prior to the vehicle stalling a second time, the starter engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired.
