Electronic steering rack part has a manufacturing fault that causes the steering wheel to lock up and then oversteer, especially at highway speeds, causing vehicle to leave the lane and a massive safety issue. Manufacturer has not done anything yet to recall the cars to fix the issue despite this problem existing in multiple versions of this electronic steering column. Part number 53600-tva-a18 has been replaced by multiple new models of this part but have not acknowledge the production issue with the part to recall the cars and pay for the repairs. The steering column models have been through multiple revisions but Honda has not recalled the older models, 53620-tvc-a67, 53620-tvc-a68, 53600-tva-a19, 53620-tva-a28, 53620-tvc-a64, 53620-twa-a28, 53620-tvc-a64.

Steering column intermittently locks up while driving/making turns in residential traffic. Brakes must be applied to slow the vehicle and prevent an accident. The steering column lock then releases and allows steering to return to normal. This problem started within the last week. Issue not related to power steering. Fluids adequately maintained.

We are a collision repair facility in oregon scotties autobody this vehicle has a broken steering shaft in the column that appears to be defective metal . I dont know if this is a random problem but I believe it should be inspected . This broken shaft causes 100% loss of steering.

While stationary or in motion, the vehicle horn sounds constantly when the wheel is turned up until the wheel is straightened out. The fuse in the steering column trips/disconnects somehow and the problem returned within weeks of repair.

When in motion, the steering wheel randomly locks when turning. While turning left or right, the steering wheel will lock and the vehicle will keep straight as if the steering wheel has not been turned at all. It has also locked when attempting to reverse from a parking spot making it difficult to back out. I had to switch back and forth from drive to reverse multiple times because the steering wheel would lock with minimal slack allowing me to barely maneuver the vehicle in the correct direction to successfully back out. The vehicle has been brought to a local mechanic who replaced the power steering belt thinking that it was slipping which could cause the issue, however the issue still continues. The vehicle was brought back again for further evaluation and I was told that there was a recall on a pin part of the steering column. This deeply concerns me because I have an infant child and my vehicle is the main source of transportation for him because my husband has a single cab truck. When the steering wheel locks randomly it puts our lives in jeopardy, especially with ongoing daily traffic and never knowing when to expect it to happen.

While driving my power steering went out making it hard to move the wheel and very difficult to turn a corner. The eps light on dashboard lit up. I pulled off to the side of the road and turned off car, then turned it back on and power steering worked. The next day the same thing happened. I had my car towed to a Honda dealership and they tried several times to duplicate the problem. They finally got it to happen again. First removed a remote starter, thought that would fix it. I picked up my car and while driving at high speed on highway it happened again. Brought it back to the dealer and they say the next thing is to replace power steering column for $2200. They are not even sure if this will solve the problem. Very dangerous and I see that other people have also reported this problem.

"takata recall" I started having issues with the car heavily vibrating when the car reached 60,000 which is a concern driving on the highway. If felt unsafe, I first brought it in while under warranty at only 30,000 miles, they said it was cracked seals in the steering rack. The car would shake uncontrollable, vibrate. They fixed it, again it happened at 55,000 miles, then again a few thousand miles later replacing the steering column. All under warranty, thank god I have the extended warranty but is this normal. Now I am fully out of warranty, it is beginning to vibrate again. This issue has been a headache since I got this make and model, never had an issue with another Honda. Just concerned that it will be an expensive issue that seemed to be a problem since early on. The car would be in motion, involvement was when reaching a speed of 55 or higher on the highway. It still vibrated at lower speed but became uncontrollable past that point and the car would veer to the right with a stiff wheel.

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.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while turning the steering wheel in either direction, a popping noise was heard. The contact notified the local dealer and was informed that the defect was due to defective bearings in the steering column, which would require the entire steering column to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified, and they stated would take no responsibility in the matter. The failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 05/12/14 MA.

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.

In 2005 Accord, parked with steering column turned. Steering column was frozen. Unable to turn key to restart car. Turning steering wheel did not help. Wrecker, putting pressure on tires to load Accord, released steering column, and key turned, car started. Very dangerous. Will leave families stranded. Honda service says there are no repairs they can perform. Learned the new cars have this problem too. Solution: make it so the tires have to be straight ahead before the car can be turned off. Solution: fix the steering column problem.

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.

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.

While driving through a residential neighborhood the steering column locked and could not be turned one way or the other. As a result the vehicle hit a parked car. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer, and they said a pin had sheared causing the steering column to break. The dealer could not determine if it happened before or after the accident. The vehicle was taken to a different mechanic and this problem was fixed. The accident caused damage to the parked car and the consumer's vehicle.

I got out the driveway and made a right turn. The ignition key jump out of the ignition key hole and broke the key handle ( plastic with remote doors/trunk opening. The car stalled and stop. I put the key ( the metal part) in but the engine did not start. I tried super glue the metal and plastic back together and turn the ignition key. The engine was on normal. I took the key out, and tried to turn it with the metal part again. The car did not start. I did not realize the serious of the problem until I read the worcester telegram gazette ( Saturday 8/13/05) and found the Honda Acura rsx has the same problem to other and it locked him three times. I may get kill if the key jump out of the ignition and stall on the highway. Please alert Honda about these problems: could be bad ignition lock, shift interlock mechanism, or steering column or the anti-theft. Please help and investigate this serious safety device.

Bought my car in late July 2004 and within days it developed a ticking noise in the steering column. It has been to service and they tell me it was the keys rattling. It is indeed the steering column because it does it with the key out of the ignition if you bump the steering wheel.

The first incident happened as I was proceeding through a yied sign, the vehicle which preceeded me had come to a complete stop. When I applied my brakes, the car did not stop. The brake pedal was all the way to the floor. The only thing stopping the car was the impact with the other vehicle. Because everything happen so fast, I assumed that I did not react quickly enough. On 1/24/03 was the second time this happened, there were two passengers in the car with me who witness the brake incident again. This time as I tried to vere to the right to avoid an accident, the steering column was locked and I was unable to steer the car. Again the only thing that stopped the car was the impact. In both situations I was not traveling at a high rate of speed and there was ample time for the car to stop had the brakes worked. When I took it to the Honda dealer, they said they had never heard of anything like that happening before. I insisted they check the vehicle out anyway and, of course, they couldn't find anything wrong. This is a great safety issue and under other circumstances the results could have been more serious or even fatal.
