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.

Engine overheating by model year
What owners say
While driving on the interstate my car lost power from the engine. The RPM's went higher but there was no power even though the engine continued to rev. There were no warning indicators on the dash to try to understand what was happening except for the RPM gauge. The transmission had completely disengaged just as if it were in neutral even though it was in 'drive'. The scariest part was that I was stuck in heavy traffic driving at highway speeds at night during a rainstorm and there were no visible warnings to observe other than the tachometer and sound of the engine revving up. I understand now that the transmission has started to fail prematurely due to overheated transmission fluid and needs to be replaced at a high cost.
Transmission stutters in between 1st and 2nd gears on decelleration and acceleration. Transmission seems to overheat. Anticipate failure due to this anomoly. Do not want to experience a lock up or loss of control of vehicle.
Six changer cd player overheats. After 30 seconds of playing time , the panel turns extremely hot and cd error message flashes. When the cd is removed, it is extremely hot to the touch where it must be placed on the passenger seat. If more than one cd is in the six cd changer, the panel gets very hot and subsequently the panel display goes blank. The radio will not work until the unit has cooled. There is a potential danger for fire or other system failure. Clearly a safety hazard.
Our 2005 honda accord severely overheated while driving in extremely congested traffic on a nearly 100 degree day. The dealer, where the car has been serviced continuously since new, verified that there was no fuse for the cooling fan. There is no credible answer for this absence.
