Twice in the past week the power steering has suddenly stopped working while driving on both a city street and a highway. It also suddenly starts working again while driving, usually the next day.

The eps gear box failed. It's hard to turn to one side while easy to turn on the other side. It's hard to be in control when to drive the car with this problem.

My son was practicing parallel parking. And car's steering wheel became stiff and hard to turn. I was able to make wheel straight and drove around slowly, mostly straight line, and steering wheel became normal, able to tune it without forcing it hard. It was scary.

I was getting off the highway and was driving home along the service road when I noticed the steering wheel automatically turned on its own, causing me to almost crash into parked cars. No lights appeared on my dash and it was out of the ordinary. Luckily I was off the highway driving at low speeds, otherwise I would have injured multiple people. The steering wheel became so hard to control requiring you to grip the steering wheel to turn it. Once you let go of the steering wheel, it would turn really fast on its own to the right. I tried turning on and off the car, unplugging the battery, but the issue was still there. I took it to the Honda dealer and also contacted corporate in which I was told that the rack and pinion is bad, and if the car doesn't show a code, they won't cover it. My car only has 46K miles, and a big safety issue like this should have been covered or partially covered. Instead, I was told it was going to be over $3K for install and parts, which is ridiculous.

We bought the Honda Accord from the dealership brand new and took delivery 11/4/2013. On Saturday 11/16/2019, with just over 40,000 miles on the car we noticed that the power steering was not functioning. It was not only hard to steer but also would continue progressing in the direction turning. We took the car back to the dealership on Monday 11/18/2019 where they stated that the rack, power steering needed replace for a total cost of $2,797.49. Contacted Honda customer service and they refused to help. Contacted the extended warranty company since the extended warranty expired 12 days earlier. They wouldn't help. This was a very dangerous failure on a vehicle that was well taken care of and has very low millage. Did some research and found and article in edmunds "feds probe 2013 Honda Accord for power steering failure", estimate 374,000 complains about the 2013 Honda Accord. Isn't that enough to force Honda to do a recall?

I was driving on busy 4 lane road and was turning to the left to get in the turn lane when the steering wheel became very hard to move. I was able while struggling to make the turn. It was lucky as there was no oncoming traffic. I had the car immediately towed to the dealer and now have a $3,000 repair bill to fix the power steering. I have noticed all the complaints going back to the original year the vehicle was built and cannot believe that this problem has not caused a recall.

I am the original owner of a 2013 Honda Accord. I travel about 30K a year. I have been extremely meticulous with the exterior and maintenance of the vehicle. During the course of my travels, I have on at least 4-5 occasions had difficulty changing lanes. More specific, while trying to make a lane change at low speed (5-35 mph) I was unable to turn the wheel to make a lane change. The ability to steer came back quickly, but for a second or two, a turn was not possible. This past week, on 10/30/2019, a similar scenario transpired. I was stopped at a "stop" sign and needed cross an intersection and make a left turn. Just when it was time to turn, the steering wheel locked, not allowing me to turn left. As there was an oncoming vehicle, I was able slow down but struck a curb with my right front tire. The impact beat up the rim pretty bad and deflated the tire. I replaced the tire with the spare and headed to a near mechanic, about 1 mile away. The mechanic advised me not drive the vehicle. The damage included cracked rim, power steering rack and electronic steering box to name a few. In researching parts, I came across many incidents in which a 2013 Honda Accord has had failed steering capability. I contacted Honda (case #10012315), they did not acknowledge a problem now, nor in the past and could not comment on problems that other people have had. I was told that the vehicle was old and had a lot of miles. They told me "you had an accident, why are you calling Honda, you should be calling an insurance company". Honda would not do anything. I expressed my regret in not purchasing a future Honda vehicle... shame on Honda.

I was driving on the highway with my wife, mother in-law and my two years daughter and all of a sudden the steering wheel became very hard and steering light came on. I was very concerned about my family and myself because we were on the highway! I took the nearest exit it was very dificult to control the car. I stopped the to check my phone on what could be the cause? this seems to be a serious problem that happened to many people before and had reported it to the NHTSA. But nothing was done! I care for my family' safety and I will hold the NHTSA responsible if anything happens to me or my family due to this issue.this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed by Honda.

The car looses its steering control. When stationary (and driving), if I take my hands off the steering, it automatically steers all the way to the left. It sometimes resets the problem when the car is restarted or when it is turned all the way to the right, the problem occurs again shortly. I took it to the dealership but like others, I only got a big bill of $2800.

My 16 year old son was driving my 2013 Honda Accord when the power steering failed. He was in motion on a county highway, traveling approximately 45 mph. He just came off an access road and had veered to the right to merge into on-coming traffic. The vehicle has less than 38K miles. The wheel jerked to the right and took great effort to center the vehicle and continue to a stop. He turned off the car and called me. Stated it was still driveable and drove home, but continued to have to accommodate for steering wheel jerking to the right and circulating out of control when let go. I drove the car upon his return and experienced same issue. Taking vehicle to Honda dealership for diagnostic check.

While sitting at a stop light on city street with hands on steering wheel, something jerked it to the left and I had no power steering, I got over steering manually into a parking lot. I turned ignition off and back on and it started working properly again.

Vehicle became extremely difficult and almost impossible to steer for no reason. Took it to the Honda dealership where I purchased it and was told there is no safety recall. There are almost 400,000 complaints I've noticed and I'm wondering why there hasn't been a recall. I had 3 of my children with me at the time and I feel extremely fortunate that our vehicle did not crash and there were no injuries. Does someone need to die before this is considered serious enough for a recall?

- Richmond, IN, USA

While cornering, the vehicle suddenly became very difficult to steer and did not right itself coming out of the corner. Over the next several days, the steering occasionally failed. No warning lights came on and when Honda tested the car, no torque sensor failures were noted. On that basis, Honda declined to apply their extended warranty covering the failed steering. Honda was not interested in pursuing the failure to see if it might improve their knowledge of a known problem with this model's steering. Honda claimed that the failure was rare and that there was no information out there to determine whether the vehicle would be safely drivable without repair. They could not assure me that the failure was just a loss of power steering, of something more dangerous. It wasn't until after I paid for the repair, that I found numerous similar complaints online.
