2011 Honda Accord Steering

The rack and pinion needs to be replaced with just over 63k miles. This appears to be a common occurrence amongst 2008-2012 Honda Accords but it appears Honda is ignoring the issue. I have included a forum of complaints from owners that have very low mileage. Could you please look into this?

I WAS PULLING SLOWLY OUT OF A DRIVE-THROUGH BANK FACILITY ONTO A ONE-WAY STREET WITH NO TRAFFIC, AND SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED TO TURN TO THE SIDE. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AND THE CAR PING-PONGED FROM CURB TO CURB, STRIKING SEVERAL STATIONARY OBJECTS AND A PARKED CAR.

I have a 2011 Honda Accord with 70,000 miles and the power steering rack went bad and is leaking fluid. It is unsafe to drive without power steering. There was no warning when it failed.

HEARD A WHIRRING NOISE AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY ENGINE, MY RACK N PINION POWER STEERING WAS LEAKING AND MY CAR ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RACK N PINION WHICH IS LEAKING FLUID, ESTIMATED 600-1200 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON ANOTHER YEAR BUT NOT THE 2011.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE. THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED AND TURNED IN A CIRCLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO POHANKA HONDA (1772 RITCHIE STATION CT, CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD 20743, (301) 899-7800). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS CAR CURRENTLY WITH 20349 MILES.I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER 50 MI.ALL OF SUDDEN THERE'S NO POWER STEERING.I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME IN FEW MILES. I CHECK THE STEERING FLUID STILL FULL.PLEASE CHECK IS THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME RECALL WITH 2007 HONDA ACCORD MODEL??

TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD WHINING NOISE. DEALER DIAGNOSED A POWER STEERING RACK FLUID LEAK. I'M TOLD VERY UNUSUAL FOR ONLY APPROX. 46K MILES. NO RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR MODEL YET. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IS OVER $1500. MY 36K MILE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED SO DEALER WON'T COVER THE REPAIR. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE I HEARD AND BELIEVED THEY WERE VERY GOOD CARS. I NO LONGER HAVE THAT BELIEF! I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA. NO OTHER MAKER HAS REQUIRED EXTENSIVE REPAIR WORK AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE.

THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING THE FLUID AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME THING ON EARLIER MODEL HONDA ACCORDS. I WONDER IF IT'S STILL AN ISSUE AS MY CAR IS JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 46,000 MILES. *TR

HAD A LOSS OF STEERING DUE TO POWER STEERING FLUID BEING TOO LOW BECAUSE OF A LEAK IN THE RACK AND PINION. *TR
