The component has been inspected and was determined the gears inside the gear box are binding. Causing the steering to stick. There was no warning and there is no damage present.

STEERING
There has been a growing number of people, including myself that are experiencing sticky steering wheels, steering rack issues and clunking when turning the steering wheel in 2023-2025 Honda Accords. A recall has only came out for Civics and Integras, but none for Honda Accords. I had the issue arise earlier this year in January. It was not as consistent and noticeable until the end of January. I made an appointment, I was told the sound couldn’t be recreated and sent home. I brought it right back and was given a piece of paper noting the issue for Civics and that there was nothing to be done and it won’t get worse. It did get worse and I brought it in a few days later just to be told someone from somewhere is coming to fix it. They regreased the gearbox and the noise was gone in February. The noise has since returned as of 12/25/2025, accompanies with a sticky steering wheel when driving at highway speeds. This issue continues to be brushed off and told it is safe to drive when no one should have to drive with a steering concern regardless if it is not bad “yet”. Consumers all over are stating the steering racks are replaced and other things but the issue just returns so it is not just a isolated situation, several people are dealing with this and it’s being ignored. Individuals personal experience can be found all over reddit including videos proof of the noise that is being made. This is my 2nd report!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
Steering rack is starting to creak non stop, it began around 4k miles, the car currently has 5,350 miles. Brought car to Lia Honda, Northampton, Ma. They tightened up all front suspension bolts but this did nothing and told me "drive the car more to see if the noise goes away" However after spending 5 mins researching on the internet I came across a plethora of 11th gen accord owners complaining about this specific noise and even multiple video recordings of it. From what I gather there is a defective worm gear and spring tension or something along these lines with numerous owners having their entire steering rack replaced under warranty. However many of those who's steering rack was replaced began to hear this ever present, constant creaking noise all the time and I do mean all of the time. a Perplexity AI, Chatgpt, or Google AI leads to an alarming amount of owners having to deal with this issue. So currently my purchased brand new in may of 2024 honda accord with 5.3K odd miles on it is creaking non stop at all times other than driving straight on the highway. It is incredible to me at least that honda has not issued a recall as they did with the civics and crvs with essentially the same problem. Thank you for your time.

STEERING
The steering in my Accord started to make cloud clicking and clunking noises while parked and during low speed driving. I took it to the dealer in November of 2024 and they replaced the steering rack. Ever since, the car has never driven the same. First the alignment was all off and the car pulled to the left. After taking it to the dealership multiple times, it still is not steering correctly. I now have to pull the wheel to the right to keep the car straight in the lane. It can be even worse on the highways as it needs a lot of micro adjustments to the steering wheel to keep the vehicle centered in a lane. Dealership as of this month says they cannot reproduce the issue but I can. The loaner Accord they gave me did not have any of the steering issues that my vehicle has.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While engaging Adaptive Cruise Control on highway speed, all the sudden I lost the sight of the car in front of me on the display, almost causing a collision, I also lost the correct Waze display. After I stopped the car, shut off engine, then restart the car, re-engaging Adaptive Cruise Control, both problems disappeared. This is an intermittent problem, it should be asap investigated then recalled due to huge safety concern !

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OFFICIAL COMPLAINT — HONDA RECALL NOT BEING FIXED Subject: Urgent Safety Complaint – Recall Cannot Be Performed by Any Honda Dealer To: American Honda Motor Co., Inc. – Customer Relations I am submitting a formal complaint against Honda because I have an open safety recall on my 2024 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid and no Honda dealership is able or willing to perform the recall repair, leaving me driving a potentially unsafe vehicle with no timeline for resolution. Summary of the Issue •I originally scheduled the recall repair with Braman Honda of Lake Worth, and they canceled my appointment the day before, stating they could not perform the recall. •I then attempted to contact Ed Morse Honda, who did not answer multiple calls. •When I called Honda Customer Service, I asked to escalate to a supervisor, and was denied. •Honda assigned a case manager, but scheduled a repair appointment for me without confirming my availability, at a time I could not attend. •When I called Ed Morse Honda to reschedule, they informed me that they cannot perform the recall because the software required for the update is not working. •I was told to simply “wait,” with no timeline, no workaround, and no assurance of safety. Safety Risk This recall involves a system failure that could cause the vehicle to stall or shut down unexpectedly. I am now: •Driving a car with an unrepaired safety recall, •Receiving warnings from my insurance company that the recall must be completed, •Feeling unsafe and potentially liable for an accident if my vehicle fails due to Honda’s inability to perform the recall.

ENGINE
Within 48 hours of taking possession, the vehicle suffered a blown head gasket, a catastrophic mechanical failure that constitutes a pre-existing latent defect—a serious condition that existed prior to the sale but was not disclosed to me. This defect renders the vehicle unsafe, inoperable, and unfit for its intended use. Claims that I did not purchase the optional 2-day cooling-off period or that the vehicle is covered under a manufacturer warranty are legally irrelevant. Under California Civil Code §§ 1791.1 & 1792 (Implied Warranty of Merchantability), a dealer is obligated to sell a vehicle that: 1.Is safe and operable at the time of sale 2.Is fit for ordinary driving purposes 3.Does not contain major latent defects that make the vehicle unsafe, inoperable, or unusable immediately after purchase The presence of a pre-existing latent defect is a direct violation of these provisions. The manufacturer warranty does not excuse the sale of a vehicle with a defect that existed at the time of purchase. I am therefore demanding, without delay: 1.Immediate rescission of the sales contract by Raceway Nissan 2.Full refund of all funds paid, including deposits and trade-in credits 3.Coordination with Valley Strong Credit Union to fully rewind the auto loan, including principal, interest, fees, and any other charges 4.Confirmation that I will have no financial obligations related to this purchase once the rescission is completed

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
On October 3, 2025, at approximately 1:00-1:30 PM, I was driving southbound on the Hardy Toll Road in the far-left lane on my way to a friend's house. Road conditions were dry, and it was a bright, sunny day. While driving, I noticed something felt unusual with my vehicle. Other vehicles began passing me, so I checked my side-view mirror to see if there was an issue with my rear wheel, but I did not observe anything. When I looked forward again, there were no vehicles directly in front of me. Suddenly, my car locked up, and the word "BRAKE" appeared on the dashboard. My vehicle immediately began veering sharply to the right. While veering, my vehicle was struck on the passenger side (T-boned) by another vehicle. The impact caused me to collide with the guard rail, strike a freeway sign, and ultimately crash into the tree line near the water off the roadway.

SUSPENSION
Car swerved to the left unexpectedly causing it to do a 180 degree turn and impact the drivers side. Side airbags deployed and emergency response was initiated. Prior to the swerve in question, the car had experienced about 6 smaller swerves that we attributed initially to a wind gust. All of the swerves felt like a strong wind was hitting the drivers side rear quarter area. The Estimate of repair for the insurance company indicates damage to Left Lower Control Arm, Left Trailing Arm, and Left Upper Control Arm.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY
Hi, I think that this vehicle is major safety issue for both me and others, since bought new it tends to pull to the right , hard to steer or keep it in lane straight without wondering away! Pre mature Tire wear and tear vehicle inspected by different Honda dealerships multiple times with multiple alignments correction done and parts replaced under warranty to it with no remedy or resolution, filed case with Honda manufacture with no resolution as well! I took today for second opinion at Firestone I was told that vehicle can’t be aligned! due to right wheel caster is advanced or off by 0.6 inch which points to: 1 suspension issue ( got inspected multiple times) 2 subframe problems or frame damage due to manufacturing problems or geometry ratios defect I really don’t know what to do! Filled complain with you guys earlier …never heard back attached is Repair inspection from today and multiple alignments attempted by dealership on 10/2 10/29 and last 11/9 Parts was replaced at dealer 1 Rack and pinion component. 2 steering cable reel.

STEERING
The steering in my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid gets sticky. It resists movement making small adjustments, especially on the highway. It gets worse the longer that I drive but then goes away if I stop the car (like at a rest stop) but then reappears soon after. After my 2nd complaint to the dealership, the service manager states that he took it on a one hour drive and didn't experience the same issue. I called the dealership on 10/30/2025 stating that the problem seems to be getting worse. They said that they couldn't do anything unless they can recreate the issue, but could not offer me a loaner vehicle while they have my car. At times, knowing that the steering is electronically controlled, I fear that I will lose all steering when driving on the highway. This issue needs to be investigated to see if the recall that involved other VIN's of the same model needs to be expanded.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
When making a left turn, my car suddenly bucked up onto the air feeling like I ran over a big obstacle which was not the case. Car came to sudden stop and I was thrown forward over steering wheel. Thankfully no one was behind me or it would have been catastrophic. The first week I owned the car, when going through a car wash, the car started jumping up and down and wouldn't move forward. Had to back out of carwash. Dealer told me it was the collision mitigation system and to turn it off before going in. The "brake" light on dash periodically flashes when no cars are in front of me. I am truly afraid to drive this car which only has 5,800 miles on it. Dealer can't find a problem. I am turning off collision feature every time I drive, but what if I forget? I believe this is an extremely dangerous defect and should be looked into. It doesn't always happen, but when it does...
