About 2 weeks ago when i was turning right i noticed some difficulty in steering (the steering was difficult and tight) so i took the car in for service. the incident could not be reproduced but noted by the dealer. on the 6th i was driving home and turning right onto my street and the steering went completely out. i was afraid i was about to end up in my neighbors yard and into my neighbor! it took very great effort to steer the car and steering warning light came on. with much difficulty i drove the car slowly to the dealer and they witnessed the problem. i recently heard from the service dept and they told me a "code" appeared on this and they were checking the "rack" - there was no issue with steering with the car moving straight forward. i will be working with the dealership for a replacement vehicle as i don't trust this particular vehicle. also, the dealer is very helpful and trying to do the right thing and i believe has my best interests at heart (they are very reputable). i have filed a complaint with your agency and have an odi number. *tr
Driver was making a right hand turn in a residential area. in the process of making that turn, steering jerked to the left and driver was not able to maintain control of the vehicle because the steering was not responding; therefore, causing driver to run into left hand curb. *tr
As i was driving down the highway i veered to the left and the steering wheel started free spinning and the tires were not controlled by the steering wheel any longer. i had no control of the vehicle. i hit a wall and stopped in the middle of the highway. honda has never come to inspect the vehicle as i was told they would. my vehicle is still sitting at the local honda service department without anything done to it. honda will not look into what caused my vehicle to lose steering. *tr updated 06/13/13*lj
I was driving down the highway and a car was veering into my lane. as i went to the left my steering wheel just kept spinning and the tires were going all over the place. i couldn't control the car because the steering wheel was not corresponding with the tires. we jerked across the highway from lane to lane until we finally crashed into the concrete wall of the highway. we then spun out into the middle of the highway where we rested. honda had not responded at this time but everyone including the guys at the his body ship feel that this is a manufacturer defect. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the steering wheel failed several times. the steering wheel would become hard to control with the illumination of the power steering warning light. the contact was able to coast onto the shoulder, shut the engine off and restart. the steering wheel then resumed normal function. the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. the electronic position sensor and the wiring harness was replaced; however the failure was not corrected. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 1,162 and the current mileage was 1 6,922.
Pick this vehicle up from the dealer got one exit down on the highway and turned around because even holding the steel will perfectly straight with both hands on the wheel the car just drifts from side to side in the lane and is extremely difficult to keep control of while at highway speeds, i brought the vehicle back to the dealer who said that they put it back on the alignment machine and that there was nothing wrong with the alignment, i also am having issues with the rear defroster not working properly. i also pointed out a visual defect in the paint on the hood of the car which the dealer said i'll will call you back in a week or two and set up an appointment and will have to have the hood repainted i have yet five months later yet to hear back from this dealer ship as to when the going to actually repaint the hood on the vehicle. *tr
