While being driven the steering locked up. It could not be turned. It caused an accident of hitting a parked car. This caused the 2017 HR-V to be totaled. The steering was back to normal after the event.

My dad had a terrible accident last night. He said there seems to have a problem with brake. While he applied the brake to slow down before taking the exit 9 on I-395, the brake was slipped and steering was locked. As a result, he hit a guard rail pretty strong and the front of the car was damaged badly. Liquid were leaking and the car was towed, but air bag didn't deploy. He also mentioned that there was a few times the car doesn't start while pressing the brake, so he had to press the brake harder, and sometimes the brake slipped while driving.

Bought vehicle brand new in May 2017. Around 1000 miles it started pulling to the left no matter what road I was on. Took to Honda dealer twice and they performed two alignments and realigned the steering wheel - they said the alignment is within Honda's requirements. Vehicle still pulls to the left. If I let go of the wheel at all it jerks to the left. Talked to service manager at dealer and am bringing the car back for a test drive.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Hr-V. ever since the vehicle was purchased, there had been an alignment issue. The contact stated that it was difficult to keep the vehicle driving in the same lane. The contact also stated that if the steering wheel was not securely held, the vehicle would pull to the left or the right. The vehicle was taken to victory Honda (located at 1605 N. monroe street, monroe, mi 48162, tel: (888)714-7803) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle operated as intended. The vehicle was also taken to two independent mechanics who performed alignments, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer stated that based on the diagnostic testing from victory Honda, the vehicle was operating as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 1,106...updated 07/31/17
