The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the steering wheel inadvertently lost power steering functionality. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle by forcefully maneuvering the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the power steering gear box needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

The Honda Accord power steering completely shut off on me while driving on the highway. I experienced this very frightening situation yesterday with my 2013 Honda Accord v6 while driving about 40mph in a straight line I suddenly lost power with no apparent reason. I had the eps light show on my dash. I pulled over and restarted the car but with no success the power steering wouldn't turn on it was completely dead. I did not see no fluid leaks under the car and the power steering pump has plenty of fluid.

While traveling down a country road I stopped to make a right turn, as soon as I made the right turn the steering light came on and my steering wheel stiffened up tot he point where I could not turn properly. As soon as I tried turning in either direction the steering wheel would feel like it wanted to turn the opposite direction. Was able to safely drive to a gas station and turned off car. Once it was shut down we checked the power steering fluid and it was full. Checked for any leaks could not find any. Left vehicle turned off for at least 10 minutes then restarted. The light did not stay on and the steering wheel became manageable. Will contact dealer to see if there is anything they can do. I doubt it though, not unless they can replicate the incident themselves.
