Civic 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 74,300 miles
If a hard take off is made the steering wheel along with the car abruptly pulls right. I've took my vehicle which is a 1996 Honda Civic ex to a certified repair shop and the technician informed me my alignment was in specifications. This has happened numerous occasions over the past 6 months and in my opinion this could eventually cause me to lose control and either cause or have an accident.
