tire pressure is good, i pulled over half way thru the trip to check that, i had a 99 ex and never had such a feeling on the hwy. this car is full of problems tht havent been resolved by honda, if i knew how to post a link for my previous posts stating my other problems, you guys would feel a little bad for me

loose handling wise? A strut bar/sway bar could fix that maybe....

Take it to the dealer. I have an '06 LX and it handles like a slot car. You sneeze and you just changed lanes. Even during strong cross winds it handles well. If it wanders it needs dealer attention now!

As long as it's under warranty, take it in to the dealer.

not to jack the thread, but how does "drive by wire" steering feel compared to "normal" aka hydraulic power steering? I've driven a car with an electric PS pump instead of traditional pully drive and that felt kinda different...tight but "disconnected" at the same time. Does drive by wire feel similar?
