Power Steering Light On problems of the 2013 Honda Accord - part 2

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the power steering failed and the power steering light illuminated. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times; however, the technician was unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000.

I turned my vehicle on and had no power steering. The power steering light was on, indicating that there was a problem. I was able to drive it to the dealer where they told me the power steering torque had gone bad. To repair the vehicle, I would need to have the power steering rack replaced - over $2k! although my vehicle is less than 2 years old, I have passed the 35k mile warranty. This is a pretty painful bill to be forced to pay with such a new car!! why is this not recalled if so many are having issues with this?!!.

The power steering failed light aluminated and wasn't able to steer. Was able to park and restart car and everything was fine. Took it to the dealers they replaced the steering rack. Car was at dealers for 6 days.

While driving on highway at 50 mph, the power steering failed and the steering light came on. Luckily, I was able to slow the car down and get off of the highway. I pulled into a neighborhood and put the car in park. After several minutes, I put the car back in gear and the power steering was still out, but I was able to make it home. The next day, I started the car and the power steering was working. The steer wheel has jerked to the left/right on several occasions, but this was the first time that the power steering when completely out. I've brought the car to the dealer and am waiting for an explanation.

While driving at approx. 25 mph, suddenly the power steering completely failed and power steering warning light came on. As I was only a couple of blocks from home, I was able to hard steer it home. Spouse turned engine off, started it back up and power steering reset. Took it to the dealer. Did diagnostic and determined : diagnose eps system per isis. Found faulty torque sensor. Replace complete power steering rack and perform align. After reading other similar complaints, I am hopeful that this will not happen again. It is extremely dangerous when this happens.

The contact mentioned the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The techncian diagnosed that the rack and pinion failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 6,700.

05/25/14 while backing the vehicle out of my drive way I noticed the a thumping sound and a jerking from the vehicle which caused great alarm from me. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in. When I took the vehicle in the kept it for about a day and told me that they could not find anything wrong with it and that the inspector said that the same thing was happening to a new vehicle, that the noise and jerking was just the way it was. They called it a hard shift. My car is not a daily driven vehicle being I have two other cars that I primarily use. At the time of the incident my car had aprox. 303 miles on it. Now several months later on 01/01/15 when I went to start my vehicle I noticed the same problem, and being that I had already taken it once to the dealer and them telling me nothing was wrong with it, I had no second thought of taking it out on the road. I proceeded to drive down my residential street and realized I had forgot something at home. So on the residential intersection I started to make a u turn when all of a sudden steering cut out on me in the middle of my turn. I narrowly missed oncoming traffic and stopped right before I hit the curb and a parked car. When I did stop and got my composure back I looked down and there was a steering wheel light on and a buzzing noise. All this while going no more then 6 miles and hour. At this current moment my car is less then 2 years old and has less then 400 miles on it and I cannot believe that this would happen to such a new car with so little miles on it. Following this incident I googled my car to see if I was the only one having this problem and lord behold I was not. There are numerous accounts of this happening to other people some resulting in serious accidents. But most of the cars in those incidents that I could see had about 20k to 30k miles on them and mine does not even have 1k on it yet.

As my vehicle was accelerating onto a highway on-ramp, I lost almost all power to my vehicle, and it became more difficult to steer. The check engine light came on, the electric power steering light came on, the traction control light came on, and my tire warning light started flashing. Was barely able to make it into the emergency lane, and probably would have been rear-ended had a car been following close behind. Once in the emergency lane, a burning odor could be smelled by all 4 passengers in the car. There was nothing wrong with my tires. Car had to be towed to dealership for repairs which are pending. This vehicle has the new "cvt" transmission, and I suspect this may be part of the problem. This should not be happening in a brand new car, this is a safety issue for sure.

My power steering went out and I hit the right side of my car in a parking garage. The power steering light came on. My husband brought the car into the service center at Honda of bowie. The service folks said it was fixed after doing a computer update. I brought it back because the problem kept reoccurring. My husband brought it back in again on July 2, 2014 because the problem reoccurred several times since the last "fix. " the service personnel did another computer reset and my car has had the same power steering problems since then. Today (Monday, July 7, 2014), the power steering failed again and steered the car into oncoming traffic resulting in another near miss. I have called Honda of bowie to get a loaner vehicle but they are out of loaner vehicles so I need to continue to drive the car to and from work.
