Well it started last year I was driving and out of no where my wheel pulled and got very stiff and I realized I had no power steering. I killed it cranked it and it work then out of no where it happened again and now it works about a three days out the week Im afraid this may cause a accident with me or with me and my family in the vehicle.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

I will occasionally lose control of steering on turns, feels as if the steering wheel becomes unresponsive

I was driving in the outer lane on a city street when my car suddenly turned and hit the curb, sending the car down a hill. The brakes didn’t work either and I hit two trees headon. All airbags deployed. An electrical fire started under the hood. Two men came and shut off the power. The car was towed and declared a total loss. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The only person that I know of that inspected the car was the claims adjuster. There was no warning that anything was wrong. If anyone had been in the path of the car, I would have been unable to stop or turn.

I was driving the car on the highway and all of sudden lost steering control and caused me to have an accident.

When driving our 2015 Honda Accord, without warning or message, the steering of the car just stopped and our safety was put at risk. The wheel was unresponsive, rendering the car not steerable. It was like the old no power steering days when your tried to turn the steering wheel while in a parked position - not responsive. We couldn't drive the car and had it towed. This happened while driving! The dealer wrote it up as "The power setting light is on" which was not indicative of the loss of steering while the car was being driven. Since the car was towed to the dealership, we did not see the service write-up until a week later. They said the "these things can just happen when electronics are involved" The replaced the Electric Power Steering Rack and Pinion which was over $2,000.00

While driving, the steering wheel light started to come on and started to make a noise, then the steering wheel itself got stuck and could not turn the vehicle. This we were so close to crashing putting in risk myself and my kids at the time. Since then, I can’t drive it due to the steering wheel locking.

MY WHEEL IS LOCK AND I CAN'T UNLOCK IT. FOR 3-4 DAYS I'VE HAD TO WIGGLE THE WHEEL AND KEYS JUS TO TURN MY CAR ON. AND IT DOESN'T EVEN LET ME DO THAT ANY MORE

AS I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND COULDN'T MOVE AND THE CAR WAS STILL DRIVING AT 65 MPH

DRIVING ON HWY STEERING BEGAN TO PULL. I ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT WHEN I NOTED STEERING WAS MORE DIFFICULT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HWY BUT FOUND WHEN I STOPPED I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. I THEN CALLED MY HUSBAND AND INFORMED HIM OF MY SITUATON. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S THE RACK AND PINION POWER STEERING. I ONLY HAVE 19,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE

WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 AT 65 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY MOVED LEFT AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN. THEN THE CAR MOVED SHARPLY RIGHT AND LEFT THE ROADWAY AND STRUCK THE GUARDRAIL DAMASGING THE RIGHT FRONT. THE DEALER, SHOTTENKIRK HONDA IN CARTERSVILLE,GA SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING AS THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED BY A BODY SHOP. THEY SENT IT OUT TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT DONE. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE STEERING CHECKED THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND THE RIGHT FRONT STRUT WAS BENT. THEY REPAIRED IT AND DID THE ALIGNMENT. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK DOES NOT SHOW ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. THE REASON IS THAT IT IS TO LONG A TIME SINCE THE INCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE CAR MAY NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE.

MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD LX KEY STARTED CHIPPING OFF IN THE LOCK CYLINDER AND STOP TURNING AFTER 45,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE LOCK CYLINDER STOP TURNING WITH MY KEY IN THE CYLINDER. THE HONDA TURNED OFF ON THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THIS OCCURRED. THE LOCK CYLINDER, KEY RE-PROGRAMMED TO MATCH THE NEW LOCK CYLINDER COST MY $660 AND WAS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ISSUED AS A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. I ALSO CONFIRMED THAT SEVEN (7) OTHER HONDA OWNERS AT MY JOB WITH KEYS EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOCK CYLINDER PROBLEM ON THE AVERAGE BEFORE 30,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THEY HAD TO GET THE LOCK CYLINDER REPLACED TOO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARALLEL PARK THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXTRA EFFORT WAS NEEDED TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR OVERHEATED AND CAUSED THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

OBVIOUS STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN BREAKING. HONDA SAYS THEY CAN CORRECT THE ROTOR PROBLEMS WITH A BREAK JOB FOR $209.00. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF ROTOR PROBLEM COMPLAINTS.

LOST POWER STEERING, WHICH IS ELECTRIC ON THIS CAR. SUDDEN INCREASED EFFORT REQUIRED TO STEER, LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN GAUGE CLUSTER SHOWING STEERING WHEEL AND EXCLAMATION POINT. DEALER HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT SINCE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A DOZEN OCCASIONS BUT NOT WITH REGULARITY.

WHILE TURNING LEFT AFTER THE STOP LIGHT DISPLAYED GREEN, THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. ONLY THEN WAS I ABLE TO ROTATE THE STEERING WHEEL. FORTUNATELY IT WAS A MID-DAY AND THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND. TWO DAYS LATER, AGAIN WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM WORK WHICH IS ABOUT A MILE AWAY, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED WHEN DEPARTING FROM THE INTERSECTION. THIS TIME I WAS GOING STRAIGHT, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED AND WAS VERY HARD TO MOVE. I HAD TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN TO ENTER THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, WHEN WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY WAS ABLE TO MAKE A WIDE SWERVE AND PARK IN THE LOT. I COULD SEE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) INDICATOR TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD. AGAIN TO RELEASE THE LOCK, I HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO NEARBY HONDA DEALER. THE SERVICE ENGINEER SAID THAT HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM!!! WHAT A SHAME!!! HIS TOTAL LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A PROBLEM IS MORE WORRISOME THAN THE ACTUAL DEFECT ITSELF. I TOLD HIM THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SUCH AN ISSUE IN ONLINE. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER CAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA HAS TO TAKE SERIOUS ACTION ON. MY TRUST ON HONDA'S SAFETY IS LOST NOW!
