I drive a '13 Civic LX. The other week, I hit at least 5 or 6 potholes before the town that I live in had a chance to fill all of them in on its main roadways. Unfortunately, after I hit them, the steering on my car began to feel too loose, and the acceleration also became more sluggish. I took it to the dealership, but the mechanic checked it out and he told me that there was nothing wrong with it. I feel like he overlooked the problems on my car because I am positive that the steering does not feel normal, and neither does the rate of acceleration.

 

Does the car slightly pull to the side when the wheel is completely straight?

 

Yes, it does.

 

My guess would be wheels or tires are damaged, or the alignment is off. I would go to an alignment place and explain what happened. I've taken my car in to Les Schwab before thinking my alignment was off, and wasn't charged anything cuz it turned out to be something else.

 

Agree with vladd bring it to alignment shop to double check!
