Steering Noise Problems of Honda Accord

On Tuesday, may 3, 2021, my car suddenly vered to the left and I had turn my steering wheel excessivley (about 90 degrees) to get my car back into my lane. If there would have been a car next to I would have hit it someone or something. I suddenly was hearing a crackling noise from my steering column. I drove my car a couple of more times before I took it to roush Honda in westerville on 5/12/2021. When I took my cari explained the previous situation and told the gentleman that the noise in the steering column was getting louder and louder and he said I was getting charged $99 to find out what the noise is about and what was going on. On 5/13/2021, the service depart. Called to let me know that it was an alignment issue and said nothing about the noise. I asked them what about the noise and she said there was nothing on the service write up about a noise. So I asked for a manager. When the manager called, max wagner, he tried to tell me that the noise was coming from the tire and axle and not the steering column. You can clearely hear the noise coming from the inside of the car and steering column. I have a lifetime alignment with firestone and take my car on a regular and responsible basis. Honda is clearly giving me a run around and is avoiding to fix the issue that is clearly a part manufacturing defect. Can this be investigated by your agency?.

Air bag needs to be replaced and ever since I bought it I been having steering wheel noise and it shakes constantly. I bought new tires, changed power steering, pump, hose and it still does the same thing. I go to discount tires nearly every two weeks to get tires rebalanced even if its new. They still cant find the problem. Car also turns off sometimes. Happpened five times already. The steering whistle sound is constant now and when my car turned off it was on the street parked and also making turns causes the steering wheel to be stiff.

Nthsa I had purchased a brand new Honda Accord in March 2014 and soon after I noticed a rattling noise in the steering wheel. I took it for repair to the dealership and they took me on a test drive to hear the noise and they attempted to fix it without success. The rattling noise is not always present and it comes unpredictably therefore every time I go to the dealership they want me to drive it and replicate the noise which is sometimes not possible. I have recordings of the noise and they would not accept that to fix the car. A representative from Honda corporate office had personally told me that it is a defect and they have no resolution for it and they would notify me when their engineering figures out a fix. I hired a lemon lawyer a few months ago to help me. I am infuriated that Honda is offering me to settle by paying me “some monies for my trouble” without going to trial but they still are not willing to fix or replace this defective car. I find it unacceptable that Honda is allowing me to drive this car even though I expressed safety concerns and even worse they try to put a price tag to settle for my safety instead of acknowledging and resolving this issue. I have a trial scheduled for September 22- 23, 2015, I feel like this appointment is too far and the more I drive this car the higher risk it posses for my safety. My experience with Honda has been an appalling one so far and I want to express my frustration with the process. After Honda’s history and penalty of wrongdoing to the public I would assume that they take more aggressive measures addressing safety issues before they cause harm. I would like your assistance and involvement in this battle with Honda and trying to make them realize that they can’t just pay individuals money and brush safety issues under the carpet.

After getting the Honda Accord steering hose replaced due to overheating, I begin to hear noises and have steering issues. I took my car to the dealership and was told that I need to replace the rack and pion steering and the power steering pump. I believe that due to the power steering hose was the cause to additional problems to the steering.

There is a knocking noise coming from the steering wheel. Took it into the dealership and the service manager says the steering column needs to be replaced. He further commented that there is a service bulletin on the defect but Honda has not issued a recall. This is a safety issue due to the fact it can over time affect the steering of the vehicle. There are many complaints online about this issue and obviously Honda knows there is a problem. There is no reason for a car less than 4 years old to need the steering column replaced.

In Dec/12 I noticed a clicking noise in my steering when I was driving and turned left or right , I contacted Honda and they said bring it to the dealer and that it was not a safety issue . Since I was not home I decided to wait until I returned since it was not a safety issue ( more of an annoyance) . I went to the dealer and found out they need to replace the steering columun and a couple of bolts at a costs of $800 . Now while I am not a mechanic if you need to replace the steering column it would definitely sound like a safety issue to me . There is even a TSB on it from Honda . And while I am out of warrantt Honda ( after complaining did agree to cover the costs of parts apptox 50% but the bigger issue is that they issued this TSB in 09 and there must be a flaw in the mechanism .

First noticed difficult steering and noise. Mechanic found power steering hose leaking and replaced it ($400 parts & labor). Later same day, mechanic found power steering pump was also leaking and replaced it (another $400 parts & labor). Steering still difficult and still making noise, so brought car back to mechanic a couple of days later. Mechanic replaced rack & pinion (an additional $800 parts & labor). It appears the 4 cylinder Accords (2003) are not a part of the current Honda recall for power steering hose leaks, but looks like they should be. Also, note the additional parts failures (and financial costs) as a result of the leaking hose.

Since I purchased this car, the engine vibrates, power steering makes noise (and the pump was replaced by dealer), now it also vibrates when riding (wheel) and brakes make a "clamping" noise that Honda assures me is normal. At 7k miles, the brakes were "adjusted". The car is now 14. 5k miles and still vibrates in idle and when riding. I have filed a lemon law claim with the state of florida already, though Honda is working on proving I am wrong. Do I just get rid of the car? is this car safe? lemon law arbitration case #[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

There is a known fabrication defect of the steering column on Honda Accord 2009 model. A service bulletin was issued by Honda corporation regarding this issue in 2009. The lower bearing of the steering column was mis-installed. As a result, the steering column makes a clunk noise when the steering wheel is turned. I first brought this issue to the attention of the Honda dealership soon after I purchased the car in October 2009. They did not do anything about it. Meanwhile the steering became sticky. In other words the bearing in cause is binding. I am afraid that at a sudden turn of the steering wheel, the bearing might shatter and lock up the steering column. I consider this to be a serious safety issue.
