A clicking/clunking noise comes from the steering column when turning the steering wheel when driving and when car is parked. Mechanic says it is the steering column and could be dangerous. There are many reports on the internet by car owners of this issue with 2009 Honda Accords. There are reports of accidents related to this clicking noise due to steering locking up. Honda will not pay for the repair. This is a safety issue. A recall should be issued.
Constant clunking when turning the steering wheel left or right. Had the car since it had 90k miles. I see on forums about this issue in this model Accord. Honda really needs to do there part and repair this issue. The steering column could lock up and could cause a fatal accident with any individual.
Tension bolt snapped causing the belt to loosen and no power steering while I was driving, all this happend while I was on a highway was the scariest moment of my life having no steering power! also check engine light went on few months ago issue with oxygen sensor. I taught Honda is such a good car, this will be my last time buying a Honda. This car has cost me so much money and towing its rediculos. I read that people had issue with this and Honda only made that bracket 2 years becuase of issues why was there never a recall on this?.
A clicking noise comes from the steering column when turning the steering wheel when driving. The car has 101,500 miles. It has been making this noise for approximately 4 years. From previous searches I thought this was an immaterial issue (that is, harmless rubbing of plastic parts). However in now looking into this further I see there have numerous complaints, pointing to a serious point of failure issue with the steering column and it bearing components. A recall should be issued so Honda can correct this defect.

I have a 2009 Honda Accord and recently noticed a clicking sound in the wheel when I turn either direction. The clicking has become progressively worse. I took the car to the Honda mechanic and they noticed the noise as well but did not know what it was. Since then the clicking continues.
Secondary shaft bearing broken.
When driving between 55-75 miles an hour, there is a violent shake from the front wheels. Its even more evident under heavy acceleration as the shaking becomes more severe. I've had the car looked at by pep boys, my mechanic, and the Honda dealership in aventura, FL and no one seems to know what the issue is. I have found others having the same issues I did on the edmunds. Com fourm. . Read more...
Sitting at red light waiting for turn signal, car begins to rough idle. Upon turn and acceleration, car spits, sputters, jerks, jolts and would not accel properly. Engine light begins blinking. Motor runs/idles very rough. Next morning on drive in to local dealership, vsa light illuminates and stays illuminated. Car still idles and runs very rough, spitting and sputtering etc. Dealership inspects car. Dealership determines the mount of oil in the car is too low. No evidence of oil leaks. Dealership consults with Honda. Oil consumption test is now recommended. I am to return the car to the Honda dealership to check the oil level at 1,000 miles intervals for an unspecified period of time. This consumption will be forwarded to Honda to determine what "fix" will be recommended. Internet search provides endless identical complaints with no resolution from Honda or dealerships.

While driving my 2009 Honda Accord to work on 1/15/10 the steering malfunctioned throwing me into the left lane the steering wheel moved back and forth on it's on and I had no control of the steering until I hit my brake and the car was thrown to the right. I had no noise but because of the force involved thought I had something break on the front end or blew out a tire. I stopped and inspected the tires and so no problem with the front end. I decided to go on to work about 2 miles down the road the same thing happened. I had my car taken to the dealer and as of yet they have found nothing wrong. They have been unable to duplicate my experience as of 1/22/10 they say there is nothing wrong. I'm scared to death to drive it afraid I will get hurt or hurt some one else. If there had been a car in the left lane that Friday morning I would.
The driver seat is very uncomfortable to drive. The seat design is kind of pushing and putting pressure particularly on the lower back and causing too much back pain even driven for less than 20 miles. The seat design is also causing neck pain. Did not complain till now because thought it was design issue rather than safety issue. When driven even for few hours (less than 2 hrs), causing a lot of back pain. The steering wheel is not properly designed to hold it causing bad shoulder pain when drove for few hrs, particularly the lower spokes are designed to resemble the Honda logo 'h' which prohibits the driver to hold the steering wheel either at the bottom (or) at the outer end of the lower spokes which has very less space to hold the steering wheel.
Brakes on front have been replace 2 times by turning rotors twice and second time pads replaced the fear is now there is a weakness in the rotors and they could fail during a panic stop,also there is a whine in power steering which Honda of America admits to but claim they do not have a fix for,they say it is not a safety issue but have do they know that the power steering could cease working at any time since that the whining is not the normal sound of the Accords up to late 08 and all the 09 Accord 4 cyl.
