Lost power steering and almost lost control of car !!.
I lost my power steering at 65mph driving to the coast on highway 26 in oregon. I nearly crashed my car on the curve when my wheel would not turn like it normally does. I had to yank the wheel to the left to stay on the road. I was terrorist! I slowed my can to 50mph the rest of the 45 miles to my beach house in seaside oregon. The steering continued to get worse and I has happy to have the traffic slow down 20 miles out of seaside to bumper to bumper. I barely got the wheel to turn into my driveway at our seaside, oregon home. I started my 'research' to see if a recall had been made on my car for power steering because I would have died hitting the wall of dirt and trees leaving the highway. This is a huge safety issue! I found an article from 2014 that 374,000 people had complained of this same problem. And that you were investigating back in 2014! my car only has about 42,000 miles on it and that was the time of them going out According to the article. Cars effected were 2013-2017 Honda Accords ex. Mine is that and a v6. How many people have crashed & died with this faulty part? do you have record of it? I want this electrial power steering part recalled!! you have failed with not recalling it back in 2014!! I am holding "you" accountable for this happening to me!! I want you to pay for my car to be fixed and my rental car! I need you to respond to me heyjude911@earthlink. Net 503-367-3072 is my cell. You are lucky I didn't crash!! my car is sitting in my driveway in seaside, oregon and I need it towed to beaverton, oregon to get it fixed. I have posted the 2014 article of you not recalling this!.
In August of 2018 I brought my vehicle into balise Honda in west springfield, massachusetts with a loss of power steering during operation on a highway. They worked on the vehicle and reported no recalls for loss of power steering. When I picked up the vehicle, I regained power steering. On June 5, 2019, I lost the power steering again during operation of the motor vehicle on a city street. I successfully drove the vehicle home without power steering and it continued into June 6, 2019. Please help me understand why accidents have occurred due to the loss of power steering in the 2013 Honda Accord and no recalls have been issued? this safety issue cannot continue. . .
While driving, the power steering light illuminated and I lost power steering. Luckily I was driving locally so gain control of vehicle quickly.
Power steering failed while at a red light on 5/21/2017. It fixed itself after 3 car restarts (over the course of ~5 hours). The car was taken to the dealer on 5/22/2017 for software update to the electronic power steering control unit. The car drove fine until 5/27/2017 when it again lost power steering, this time while navigating a turn at 50mph on the freeway. Luckily, I was able to regain control of the car without hitting any other cars. Clearly, there is a problem with the electronic power steering and their software update does not solve the problem.
While driving about 40mph in a straight line I suddenly lost power steering. I had the eps light show on my dash. I pulled over and restarted the car 2 or 3 times before the power steering came back to normal. The steering was incredibly hard to turn. A few hours later I brought the car to a Honda dealer and they were able to confirm that an error code was logged during incident: dtc 71-01 motor angle sensor (sin/cos signals) unfortunately, they were not able to determine the cause of the above eps failure. They concluded that the issue is "intermittent" and that I should continue to drive the car and see if it happens again. I am afraid to drive this car now after this experience.
While driving on a local street I attempted to male a left when suddenly the vehicle lost power steering. I turned the vehicle off for a few minutes, turned it on and the steering responded. That same day when returning home I decided not to take the highway because of the steering problem. Again, this time while driving in a straight line the vehicle lost steering. Turning it off again for three minutes seemed to restore steering.
I am driving between 20-30 mph. The power steering light comes and immediately loses power steering. I am a big guy and I have to use a lot of strength to move to the side of the road. I shut off car for a few minutes and restart car. The problem went away. This happened 3x time in the last month.
The car has lost power steering on three occasions over the past one and one half weeks. The first time, 8/19/2015, after waiting at a red light to make a left turn, I could barely turn the steering wheel to make the turn. I forced the turn and could smell a burning smell. I turned the car off, read the manual, then turned the car on and drove the less than a mile to my home with no problem. On 8/26/2015, after driving less than a half mile from home at not more than 20-30 miles an hour, the car lost steering power again. I pulled over, turned the car off, then turned it back on. I returned home and drove the car less than 20 miles to the Honda dealership in wesley chapel florida. They kept the car. When I picked it up on 8/27/2015, I was told that a software update had been done. On 8/28/2015, I drove the car approximately 50 miles around town doing errands. When I started the car to back out of a store parking lot, I noticed the steering symbol was lighted and found that the car would not steer. I turned the ignition off, then right back on and returned home. I am now going to take the car back to the Honda dealer in wesley chapel.
While driving the car suddenly loses power steering. Once the car is turned off and back on the problem normally resloves. There was one instance that took turning the car off several times to get it to reset. I have had this problem occur atleast 6 -8 times over the past month. When I called the Honda dealership they said they had never heard of this problem occuring. I have scheudled an appointment for them to take a look.
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.
While driving straight I lost power steering. After pulling off road I shut the car off and restarted it and the steering re-set itself.
On Jan 24th, 2013 I took my car to the Honda dealership for a problem with my power steering. The eps (electric power steering) system indicator came on and off several times and lost power steering during those times. The problem has been intermittent. The Honda dealership tried to fix the problem 3 times. On Feb 5th, 2013 the intermittent power steering problem seemed to be fixed. Then on Aug 21st, 2014 the power steer problem started again. I returned to the Honda dealership and Honda tried again to fix the intermittent power steering problem. On Aug 22nd, I drove my Honda Accord out of the dealership and had to turn around and bring it back because the cars¿ eps (electric power steering) system indicator light came on and off again and I lost power steering during that time. I¿m now waiting to see if the intermittent power steering problem can be found and fixed. Since I bought my car the Smart entry system indicator light has turned on and off intermittently without an adverse effect that I know of. I know an intermittent problem is hard diagnose and fix but i¿m starting have less and less confidence in Honda the company that manufactured my car.
