accord 01 goes forward instead of turning right
Hello all,
I've got a honda accord LX 01 with about 60K miles on it. I've had this issue happen twice in the last few months so i'd like to get your opinion. I was driving on a two lane street and the pavement was a bit wet this morning, but it was not raining hard. As I attempted to brake to make a right turn, the accord went straight instead and didn't turn right! A few weeks ago, I replaced my previous tires with a brand new set of Goodrich T/A tires. I also had this problem several months ago and thought it might have been the tires, but now it happened with new tires. The brakes seem ok otherwise and have not made the squealing noise yet. They were replaced about 3 yrs ago. Any thoughts? Thank you! |

In other words, its skidding on the wet road. Bottom line is you are coming into the turn too fast for conditions. If you have ABS, it should release the brakes for a revolution several times per second allowing you to steer, but this only works as long as you keep pressure on the brakes. If you don't have ABS, you have to pump & the brakes. Just remember it won't steer as long as the wheels are not revolving. |

If you tried the same thing but with a left turn, she's slide around that corner slick as if she was on rails... |

You need to slow down on wet roads!

There are a lot of accidents caused by people unaware of this. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at localnet dot com |

Noticed the same thing in my Dodge minivan, also with TA's. Good grippy tires, even rated as M&S for some reason, but the rubber compound doesn't seem to grip well on slippery surfaces. Does surprisingly well in snow, though. -- aem sends... |

I've had good tires slip on those stop stripes too. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at localnet dot com |
