Clicking in steering wheel, and steering wheel very stiff. Not sure if it's the flex coupler or something else. Has been ongoing for probably 2 or 3 years. Also headliner is falling, has been lifting for a couple of years but now it's to the point where I'm afraid it'll fall on my head and block my vision while driving. This is a common issue with these older Hondas headliner needs a recall/warranty extension from the manufacturer. The flex coupler if that is the issue needs a recall or warranty extension as well. Kia has done this for their older specific vehicles with this flex coupler issue (my other car which had the same problem).

Power steering fluid leakage that smokes up under hood, loss of power to steering and extremely difficult to steer. Major safety issue.

My car is leaking power steering fluid somewhere. I can fill it to the recommended line, drive 10 minutes down the road and start having problems turning again. It is worse when turning slowly like when backing out of a parking spot and then turning the wheel to be able to accelerate in the correct direction. I have also noticed smoke coming from my car if I am sitting in park after putting fluid in, it is worse if I have my heat on. I am currently pregnant and this is my only form of transportation to be able to get my son to and from school and myself to work and every where else I have to drive to. I have almost hit parked cars because I can't get the steering wheel to turn. I am afraid that I will be driving down the road and end up not being able to turn into a curve in the road or something and end up rolling/wrecking my car. I am afraid that my car could catch on fire while I am waiting in the pickup line for my son which would put other parents, children, and other cars at risk. Yes the problem has been confirmed. The vehicle has not been inspected. No warning lamps or anything. I have been dealing with this for almost 3 months. It is causing pain in my neck, back, arms, and shoulders.

I bought a used vehicle from aloha motor groups inc. On Feb. 28, 2020. I was never told that the vehicle was salvaged. They told me that they were sending my title and everything out. I hadn't received anything as of August 28, 2020, so I went to the dealership where they pulled out my title, attached to someone else's paperwork, and realized that the salvage inspection was never cleared. So, now I am stuck with them not having any explanation or means of fixing this issue. They are denying their involvement and are refusing to have a new maryland safety inspection done after the salvage inspection is completed even though they failed to provide a proper inspection and title for over 6 months.

I was driving in the lane, probably around 20-25miles through the traffic. I was trying to turn little towards right but something happened in steering wheel (locked/stuck - I do not know) but the car didn't turn. The truck/van coming from other direction and my car crashed. I immediately got out of the car to safety. I was taken to emergency from the crash site. After 2nd visit to hospital I was diagnosed with a rib fracture. I reached out to Honda America regarding this and they said since the vehicle is not able to be inspected they can't do anything regarding this matter. I urge NHTSA to inquire further in 2006 Honda Accord steering issue since I survived a fatal accident, other might not be able to. If you need further details please reach out to me.

When driving at slow speeds the steering get tight and stiff for a short period of time and then it's fine. The power steering fluid is black but not leeking.

Power steering fluid keeps gushing out of the housing unit. Transmission keeps on studders when shifting from 1st gear to 2nd. Marking whining noises.

With the vehicle in motion, the steering wheel makes a creaking noise when turning to the left and when turning to the right.

Power steering pressure line hose started leaking and is dripping down on to the exhaust heat shield. Mechanic had same model car catch on fire due to this problem, even though it was a v4 not a v6. V6 model has recall for this issue. V4 does not. Ours is also a v4. We were advised not to drive the car and now required to replace the hose at $336. The hose is very close to the engine and is not protected from heat, also when it fails it will drip on the heat shield. We believe the v4 model should be included in the recall and is a safety risk to owners.

Power steering hose is leaking and could cause potential fire due to the location in the engine compartment. This is a problem in multiple models of Honda and has been recalled before, but not in my model. Please consider the placement in future vehicles and resolve this issue in current ones.

There was a recall for power steering, I had it in twice under warranty and it was never fixed. Now it is past warranty and they want $495 to fix. It is very dangerous driving this car without power steering.

I took my Honda Accord e6 into darrell waltrip Honda for a recall to repair a power steering hose. I picked the car up and returned 27 miles on the interstate directly to my home. I was told the repair procedure was to take 5 hours plus oil change but it actually took less than 60 - 90 minutes. I parked the car in my garage and went upstairs into the house. About 12 minutes later the alarms went off and I found the garage and car in flames with heavy smoke. The forensics fire expert says that the fire was caused by oil that had sprayed across the back inside of the car which was ignited by the catalytic converter - probably due to a faulty repair by the mechanic or by a faulty repair procedure designated by Honda or the dealership. The fire thus far has caused more than $200,000 damages to my home plus injury to me. I understand that at least four other drivers have experienced the same problem.

I was in park proceeded to put my car in reverse instead of backing up, the car kept moving in a semi - circle, the vehicle was out of control. Thus, I attempted to bring the car to a halt by stepping on the brakes, however, the brake pedal ceased to work and did not stop the car from being in motion. In closing, the car lost control went about 100ft. Or more till it finally came to a stop at the end of the parking lot. Lastly, the car is at coast Honda, however, I was informed there was not anything they could do to repair the car.
