The steering wheel was unable to turn when backing up for parallel parking after a few times, when practicing right before my daughter's driving test. Then I tried myself a couple time without luck that I had to pull it off. I was unable to tell anything was wrong since there are no any error lights on the instrument panel. I was able to turn it while driving forward, though. After being parked in the parking lot for some time, it began to work ok again, and it did not fail my daughter's driving test - a good thing. It really raised a big concern for me that a hidden issue of the steering wheel failure exists with my car. I really need Honda to recall it and fix it before it is too late with horrible consequences. Your help with this is greatly appreciated.

I was driving S on I-55 a few miles N of West memphis. As I attempted to change lanes my steering wheel was very hard to turn. I looked all over the dash & found a small light shaped like a steering wheel on the far left of the dash. Fortunately I was near an exit and was able to get to a station. Turning in & parking was almost impossible. The owners manual said to turn car off and on. This corrected the problem and I drove the approximate 200 miles to my home. I planned to get it checked out at Honda. Two days later the keyless ignition failed about ten times before finally starting. The dome lights had come on but no dash lights came on & it just beeped at me. Previously I had a low battery (listened to music too long) which failed to start but even then the dash lights lit up & flashed. It seemed like both incidents indicated an electrical or ECU problem. I drove to the dealership and reported the problem. I was told they would have to recreate the incidents. They have had my car 3 1/2 days with no word. I finally called today. Was told they couldn't recreate it so couldn't do anything! I told them I didn't feel safe driving the car. I pointed out the number of complaints listed on the arfc.com site. The service manager talked to Honda engineers who continued to contend it had to be duplicated in the computer to solve it. I stressed the safety issue and that I would not feel safe driving the car again without solving this. They are going to do more testing. An hour earlier in my trip I was on a very curvy hilly 2 lane road. I feel if this had occurred there I could easily have had a terrible accident - while I had 2 grandchildren in the back seat! there are a number of incidents like this reported. Why has something not been done?! my car has 36,500 miles and fortunately I purchased an extended warranty! I just hope we can agree on a solution.

So this has now happened 3 times in the last few months, once about a month ago and twice last week (after having the car dropped off to fix the brake tsb that causes a squeak on turns). I will be driving down the road from aggressive to normal driving and all of a sudden I look at my dash only to see all the warning lights on. Once this happens you can see the mpg indicator has a delay, a change in behavior of the cars controls, ldw switch no longer functions, and ldw and fcw stop working. The car continues to drive but you can tell all electronics are experiencing a delay or issue with the exception of the navi and radio. Some of the lights go away and come back as you drive, and after turning the car on and off a few times all lights turn off with the exception of fcw and ldw with the "fcw system failure" message which remain, that goes away after a few hours.

The power steering light came on; and lost all power steering power. The incident happened while I was turning left. With great difficulty I was able to steer out of traffic. The symptom went away after the vehicle was turned off and turned on. The symptom again happened after about 5 minutes of driving.

Had gotten back in my car after a stop at a retail store. When I turned the car on the tire pressure light was blinking, the electric power steering light was on, and the vehicle stability assist light was on. I pulled over at another store within a half mile. I got out and checked the tires for a possible flat - no problem. Turned car back on and same scenario with the 3 lights on. Only difference was the tire pressure light stopped flashing but stayed on continuously. I looked in car manual, page 6 of Honda technology reference guide, under the heading of malfunction indicators and it said, "if an indicator remains on, there may be a problem; see your dealer". I will call my car dealer in the morning. I want to state that I still had full control of my power steering. I read of others losing the power steering but mine was okay. After the second stop the 3 malfunctioning indicator lights went out.

I had parked the car in a parking space at dollywood in pigeon forge, Tennessee. When I came back out and started the car the light for the steering system came on and I could barely turn the steering wheel. I looked in the manual but starting and restarting the car did not solve the problem. The car was unsafe to drive. Had this occurred at speed I could not have controlled the car. I called Honda roadside assistance and they had a tow truck sent out to get the car. The tow truck company is going to take the car to a Honda dealership Monday June 1st so I will not know any more till than. I do see on the internet of people with similar complaints. I do not know if I should have reported this till after the dealer checks the car or not but after seeing similar complaints I wanted to report it if similar problems reoccur.

On two separate occasions my steering has gone out. 1st time was on April 4 2015 going approx. 20 miles per hour, was about to turn into a parking lot. Was totally unaware of what happen but steering got extremely hard. Had to turn the car off, pull out the manual and see what the indicator light on the dash meant. Then on April 24 2015, going approx. 75 miles per hour on the interstate it went out again. Could have caused a serious accident. I had to pull over and turn my car off and restart it. Needless to say I was a nervous wreck driving home. After this second incident is when I decided to research and see if others were having this problem and wow there are several. Its a shame this has not been a recall by now. I am more appalled by the number of people that have brought their vehicles in and have been told by the service people they cannot recreate the problem so nothing gets done. Will people need to be killed like the others car issues before this is resolved? my car just turned to 20,000 miles. I should not have issues. My car is going in on Monday for service. Lets see how this is handled.

While exiting off an interstate highway, the power steering tightened up making it difficult to make turns especially at lower speeds. I arrived to my destination narrowly avoiding an accident. I searched for other similar failures on the internet and noticed many more incidents, hence this complaint.

I was driving on I 75 North near miramar exit and I felt the steering wheel hard, then I looked at the dashboard and the esp light was on. I was able to reduce speed and use all my strength to go the the side isle. Turned off the car and on again and the esp light was not there anymore. I got back my exit was less than a mile away. I exited on miramar pkwy East and the esp light came back again, I was able to stop but I couldn't turn right or left. I waited turned on and still had the problem. Waited again and still have the problem. I called triple a and had the car towed to the nearest Honda dealer and they showed what happened in their computer but it is not happening to the service techs now they are keeping the car but I suspect they won't do anything and I am really scared to drive the car now. I was lucky did not have an accident but not sure if I will next time it happens.

The electric power steering on my 2013 Honda Accord sport suddenly fail. Two of which occurred at speeds of less than 10 miles per hour, while making a left/right turns. After coming to a complete stop I was able to successfully turn off the car and restarted it to clear the problem. The third time it happened I was driving straight at 45 miles per hour, a power steering warning message flashed as the failure occurred. However on the third recurrence I tried the same the act without a correction. I then realized the car was not safe to drive and had it tow to the dealer. I also notified Honda of North America on 3-18-15 at 3:15 hrs.
