I parked and tried turning both directions while stationary, and was able to get full range to the left smoothly, but continued to meet complete resistance slightly right of center. There were no warnings whatsoever and the car operated normally prior to this incident. After about 4 minutes of sitting, I restarted car and noticed steering was restored both directions, firmer when moving and very smooth when parked. I took it home and had independent mechanic diagnose and troubleshoot with no answers other than possibly suspension or alignment. I replaced suspension components, got 4-wheel alignment, and steering was firm, responsive, and didn't lock up again for about 200 miles. The next time the steering acted up was when my son was driving back from church and couldn't turn left, again without warning. This time the car kept going straight and he was able to stop before hitting a large metal post. I brought the car home on a trailer. There were no codes, warning lights, sounds, smells, or any other indications of malfunction leading up to this failure. Over the next 2 months, I drove short trips within 8 miles of home on not busy streets and found no specific trend; this steering failure is recurrent, intermittent, and spontaneous, sometimes with stutter in turn. I'm not sure if it's related to known magnet problem or electrical/electronic issue. Obstructs evasive maneuvers. If we were on a mountain (not uncommon if hiking, sightseeing, visiting loved ones, or traveling), this car would have taken my family over the side of steep drop-off or crashed into cliff. Either way, cars don't abruptly transition from horizontal to sharp vertical, and this issue poses severe threat to lives and high probability of injury.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
