The steering wheel started jerking to the side on it's own causing vehicle to veer to the side. Now it is stiff and erratic. We had previously had the harness replaced for the passenger side mirror which the dealer said had a short and had caused a stiff steering wheel approx 2 years ago

- San Antonio, TX, USA

Power Steering failure. The steering wheel became stiff to turn left or right, in the middle of operation. I was able to get over on the side of the road by switching lanes with very strong force.

When making a right turn without warning the steering went out, I lost control for a short period. My auto repair person has confirmed a continuation of the problem. Had I been in a different location it could have caused a collision endangering myself and others. I'm told the fix is to replace the rack and pinion and the tork senso.

Electric power steering system failed while driving car. I stopped the car for about 15 minutes to reset system, but it failed again after driving another 5 minutes or so.

While driving the car, the steering icon pops up and becomes hard to steer the vehicle. This happens every time you drive the vehicle. It started 3 days ago, and it hasn't gone away. We went to a car repair shop, and they found no issues when connecting and looking through the code. Even when the icon is on and indicates that there is a problem, the steering sometimes get fixed and reverted back to its original state. A few minutes after, it just goes back to the hard steering. I don't know why it would just randomly turn off the EPS while driving, but that is a very dangerous thing when on the road, randomly shuts off while making a turn could cause a crash.

As I was driving, the steering wheel jerked and I had to redirect it, but it was difficult to turn. I pulled over to figure out what was happening and noticed the power steering light on. I restarted the car and was able to make it home safe. It happened again and I took it to a mechanic, but he said he couldn't get it to happen while he was test driving the car; however, it happened repeatedly as I drove home a week later. When it happens, I am able to get control and pull over to restart, but not everyone will be able to regain control without power steering. It is not reasonable for a driver to expect their car to randomly veer off the road and lose power steering so they cannot regain control due to a fault that a mechanic cannot replicate and that is not being recorded as a trouble code. Vehicle has not been repaired.

Got in the car to run an errand, started backing out of the driveway and when I went to turn the wheel it locked up and the power steering light came on, lost all power steering. Had it towed to a shop and they said they can-??t find anything wrong and I would have to take it to a Honda dealer.

- Sand Springs, OK, USA

This is an issue of the car regularly pulling hard to the left without warning. My mechanic stated Honda ran out of a regular front-end part and began using an inferior part on some models over several model years. He also stated that neither attempted alignment or repairs other than a suitable replacement for the affected part(s) (currently does not exist) will remedy the issue. I now have a shoulder problem requiring surgery from almost constantly fighting to keep my car in the lane for so long now. The issue has been prevalent since approximately the date and mileage given in "Additional Details" below after becoming vehicle owner and remains ongoing.

It happens at least twice a year for the past 8 years I-??ve owned the car, the eps light comes on and it-??s hard to steer my car, ive almost been in accidents every time this happens, there should be a recall on This issue and so thing should be done before someone or myself gets hurt

When driving down an even and flat road, the steering wheel will rotate very fast to the right and if I did not have my hands on the steering wheel it would of taken me right off the road. I stopped the car and centered the steering wheel and then let it go and it rotated at least 1 full turn to the right. I centered the wheel again and turned it hard to the left. After that the wheel stayed centered. But, once I started driving again, the wheel pulled hard to the right and I had to repeat the process to get the wheel to center. This most certainly is a steering issue.

- Pembroke Pines, FL, USA

VSA, brake, ABS, EPS, tire pressure light always on and won-??t go away! I thought there would be enough information about this in the web. There is but, not actual solution. You would have to change out so much and still the lights would come back. Recently, my VSA light coming on and off have made my brakes and something else grind whenever i press on the brakes. To a point where I would need to pull over and hold vSA off button to not have brake grind when pressing on them. There should be enough content to be able to realized that this is a cause and concern for Honda vehicles.

while driving on the highway the steering wheel begin to veer sharply to the left causing the car to enter the right lane - luckily I was able to avoid hitting another car

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel inadvertently moved to the left. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic informed the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with steering failure. The steering gearbox needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The electric power steering seems to be failing on my 2013 Honda Accord intermittently with no warning light present. While my husband was driving the vehicle at highway speeds, he indicated the steering wheel suddenly wanted to turn to the left on it's own. I drove the vehicle the next day and really did not notice an issue. However, my adult daughter drove the vehicle the following day and after driving the vehicle a short distance had to return home because the steering suddenly became very difficult to turn to the right, but super loose when turning to the left to the point it was almost impossible to control. I drove the vehicle for myself and found the same, plus the steering was extremely jerky, not at all smooth as it once was. The vehicle is in the repair shop now with an independent mechanic we trust 100%. He lifted the vehicle and was shocked at how the steering is reacting, advising the vehicle is definitely not safe to drive in it's present state. His extensive research, coupled with the codes presented, leads him to believe the rack and pinion needs replacement. Unfortunately, the repair cost is quite high due to the parts cost and labor involved. After reading all of the reports online about this exact same complaint from other consumers, I am disturbed that Honda has not done a recall. If so many of these vehicles are having this exact same issue, and it is a very strong safety hazard, why is this not considered an incident that requires recall" And how can I be assured that the Honda replacement parts are not going to fail in the future for the exact same reason? Do I now have a vehicle that is unsafe and I will constantly worry the steering is going to fail" I live in a rural area and hate to think that at any time the steering could fail and my car and it's occupants could end up in a ravine or body of water. Even after the repair is complete, I will always be uneasy driving this vehicle.

- Houma, LA, USA

Sudden failure of steering wheel. It became extremely difficult to turn out of nowhere. I was parking when it happened thankfully. But turning the car off and on didnt help. It is still parked since yesterday. I haven-??t checked to see if the problem corrected itself.

- Philadelphia , PA, USA

Power steering failure accompanied by steering warning light. Vehicle difficult to steer and steering systems seems to be trying to assist in the opposite direction trying to steer. No accidents or damage at this time but seems to pose a dangerous situation. Dealer did not refuse to diagnose but discouraged leaving vehicle for diagnosis until failure was continuous as opposed to the current intermittent failure.

While driving, the steering is intermittently difficult to control and/or lacking resistance. There have been multiple occasions when it takes a great deal of effort (physically) to control the vehicle--almost as if there is a loss of power steering. Conversely, the steering wheel almost spins freely--requiring extra motion to steer the car and making it difficult to control. Of most concern is that the malfunctions occur without warning-?"resulting in the car drifting toward the adjacent lane on several occasions. Fortunately, I was able to make the correction in time--preventing the car from crossing into the next lane and possibly causing a collision. The local dealer checked the steering on May 20, 2021. At that time, the steering wheel was returning to the home position on its own-?"while I was driving the car and attempting to turn. The dealer did a diagnostic, performed a sensor re-learn and several other procedures. After exhausting all options, they contacted the Tech Line to inform them that the car was still difficult to turn during the road test. The Tech Line responded that this can be caused by hitting the curb and other driver-related mishaps. Although the adjustments made at the dealership improved the condition, it was clear that the manufacturer didn't provide the support required to resolve the problem. The steering worsened last week to the extent where I felt unsafe driving the vehicle. I took it to a different repair shop, it was inspected, and they recommended that it not be driven until repaired. After doing some research, it was clear that this is an on-going problem that has yet to be corrected by Honda. Currently, the car is parked and I have no transportation.
