Whenever I turn my steering wheel in either direction, it makes a noise. Took it to Honda dealer and they are now replacing the steering wheel column and asking me to pay some $800. I see that this is a regular Honda Accord problem, not sure why I have to bear the cost.

When you turn the sterring wheel there is a clicking noise coming from the bottom of the sterring column, I called Honda and they said there is a TSB on the problem and that it is covered under standard warranty,3 years or 36000.

I searched the internet and found that may Honda Accord owners are very unhappy with the respounse from Honda with this problem that they know they have. Can the ntsb bring this potenal safety problem to the publics attension.

4 Steering Column problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2013

While driving and turning my wheel I hear a loud clicking noise, took it to Honda and they said that it is my steering column. They refused to cover under warranty. There was a recall on the steering tube but no other recalls. I have heard several other complaints on other websites with this same issue. Honda claims they have reliable vehicles. If you make this claim maybe you should repair a vehicle that has only 40k miles on it and has bad steering column. Poor company. This is my third Honda vehicle and the very last one that I will ever buy.

6 Steering Column problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2009

I was driving to work one morning in my 2009 Honda Accord. I made a left turn, and the steering wheel locked up on me. I could not do anything. I was stuck in front of oncoming traffic. I almost got hit on the left side by oncoming traffic. A few days later, I took the car to the dealer who installed me a new steering column. A few days before the locking up of the steering wheel, I kept hearing a clicking noise whenever I make a turn. After the locking up of the steering wheel, the clicking noise continued. That's when I decided to call the dealer. After the first locking up, the steering wheel locked up a couple more times.

7 Steering Column problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2009

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. While driving 50 mph, the steering column shook violently when the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but they could not duplicate or remedy the failure. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed that water would freeze inside the wheel rims in wet, freezing conditions. The failure caused the rotors to rust and the braking system not to perform at its full potential. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that no compensation would be provided because the VIN was not included in a recall. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 938 and current mileage was 1,024. Updated 6/3/09 updated 06/04/09.
