The 2016 honda accord purchased brand new by my mom had the steering fail within two months of purchase and was towed to dealer. in september of 2019 the steering failed again. the extended warranty company approved non honda parts per the honda dealer. mom picked up drove to the bank and it failed again. they put honda parts in and it failed yesterday but once turned off and on the steering reset. the dealer said nothing was wrong but regardless it happened again. the dealer said the computer showed nothing wrong so they released the car. we have documentation on all of this.
This 2016 honda accord touring of mine makes screeching noise at 20 mph or lower when i turn left. i took it to brookdale honda at brooklyn center mn today and they said it is not nothing but coming from one of the seats. this car gave me problems from bad tires to wheels to steering wheel and daylight running lights now. us government should fine these companies hard. this is a $35 k car and we consumers are facing these unwanted issues that should be taken care of from honda without any questions. honda is aware of these issues and take precautions and let the owners know before we know it. very frustrating...
The car vibration increases whenever the car is in drive and idling at a stop light, stop sign, parking lot, etc. during cold weather temperatures the vibration is excessive and can make a rattling noise come from the engine. this has been happening for a few months now continuously. honda dealerships refuses to consider it as an issue.
I was driving on 35-38 mph in a 35mph zone. the road was curving in the form of a c and my tires started to skid. once i applied brakes and i couldn't feel anything braking and once again applied, the car turned 90 degree, straightened out on the road but not completely meaning the car was still going forward in the direction on the road but a 30 degree angle. i couldn't control steering or brakes and hit a fire hydrant at the end. i asked the insurance company to contact honda for details know the different control units and reading but they didn't want to go that route. now my insurance rate is up and i have 2 points since the cops didn't believe it could have been the cars fault.
I was driving going 45mph when the steering light came on and i lost power steering..i pull over and restarted the car and it went away and power steering work again..i took my car to honda for repair ..they can't find anything wrong with it..got the car back after two days ..drove it and the same issue happened ..now i'm afraid to drive my car because if it happen on highway i'll be in big trouble...
On monday, may 14, 2018, i was driving on the freeway and a very scary situation happened while driving. my steering wheel suddenly tightened up and i felt, as though i was no longer in control of my car. i slowed down because i was not sure what was going to happen next. i managed to drive to a honda dearer.
My wife was driving down the highway and without any indication of trouble the electric power steering failed. car is extremely hard to turn without this. she barely made it to the side of the road. since we had to get to an exit i took over. the steering takes a lot of muscle to turn the vehicle because of the small steering wheel. i am glad i was with her. i researched and found honda had a big problem with this in 2013. they gave an extended warranty of 100,000 miles to these vehicles. i expect the same warranty extension. i have owned hondas since 1977 and many i have driven well beyond 190,000 miles without a problem like this.
I was driving my car when suddenly the steering wheel became very heavy and it was almost impossible to turn it to any direction. the hydraulic system stopped working without any warning. i was traveling at very slow speed (20 miles/h) on a very calm street. so i could manage to stop on the shoulder. i turn off the engine. after some seconds i turn on the engine and the steering wheel started working properly again. the fact is that if this had happened on the highway certainly the outcome would be an serious accident.
Without warning complete power steering loss on highway exit. car fixed at dealer, steering failure again less than 24hrs after it was 'fixed'. so two steering failures in couple days.
While parallel parking in my neighborhood, the steering became stiff, to the point that the steering wheel could not be turned.

Tl* the contact owned a 2016 honda accord. while driving around a bend at approximately 35 mph, the steering wheel seized without warning. the contact crashed into a telephone phone. the air bags deployed. the driver sustained injuries to the neck, back, right arm, and left knee that required medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 106.
Car was purchased brand new from dealership in fort smith, ar. upon inspection 10 days after purchase. (miles: 502) vehicle undercarriage and suspension had significant rust and oxidization damage. in this region of the united states- rust is very uncommon if not ever present, much less, on a brand new vehicle. after numerous attempts to work with american honda and the local dealership, they claim to have exhausted all efforts and have done all "repairs" they intend to do. the work done was only surface removal and since then, a rear oil leak has developed and the back seat door panels have separated from the body of the vehicle. let it be known that i have been without a vehicle since the beginning of this process, june 3, 2016. this is unacceptable and unbelievable that a brand new vehicle has this extent of rust damage. i am a mechanic with over 40 years of experience and have never seen this type of damage on a vehicle, let alone a new purchase. if i would have known this would even be an issue, i would have inspected the vehicle before purchase. because of it being a new vehicle, who would have expected this problem from a trusted vehicle brand such as honda?! i have made sure to document this thoroughly and have more than 70 photos for your review. please contact me anytime for those or any additional documentation you might need.
Lately, i decided not to drive my 2016 honda accord on the highway for safety precaution until the honda dealership does something about my car. i don't have full control of steering wheel about 40 mph. i took back four times, the dealership mechanic saw nothing wrong. i know it is steering issue. one would have to drive the car for a while to encounter the problem that am having with it. i will take it back after the holiday for a replacement. one way or another i will not keep on driving a car which represents a safety issue for me and others. the problem is felt on both, the city street and the highway.
At less than 600 miles, suddenly while driving at less than 30mph,transmission failure, in drive, operated like low gear. car rattle, warning lights flashing: electric power steering, cylinder malfunction, tpms, and vsa.
