- Billerica , MA, USA

I was driving in the outer lane on a city street when my car suddenly turned and hit the curb, sending the car down a hill. The brakes didn-??t work either and I hit two trees headon. All airbags deployed. An electrical fire started under the hood. Two men came and shut off the power. The car was towed and declared a total loss. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The only person that I know of that inspected the car was the claims adjuster. There was no warning that anything was wrong. If anyone had been in the path of the car, I would have been unable to stop or turn.

When driving our 2015 Honda Accord, without warning or message, the steering of the car just stopped and our safety was put at risk. The wheel was unresponsive, rendering the car not steerable. It was like the old no power steering days when your tried to turn the steering wheel while in a parked position - not responsive. We couldn't drive the car and had it towed. This happened while driving! The dealer wrote it up as "The power setting light is on" which was not indicative of the loss of steering while the car was being driven. Since the car was towed to the dealership, we did not see the service write-up until a week later. They said the "these things can just happen when electronics are involved" The replaced the Electric Power Steering Rack and Pinion which was over $2,000
