I was reversing my 2020 Honda accord and the power steering light came on. The power steering and steering wheel was hard. The steering then locked up. I couldn’t move the car. This could have been dangerous of another vehicle was coming. After shifting it back to drive, it went away. Now I am concerned the car may do this problem on the road.

The steering is sticky, and jerky. It's hard for me to maintain a safe driving experience. I'm going to get pulled over. There is a recall on this problem but I have no recalls for my car!!!! The dealership will not acknowledge. And ot is getting so much worse. 52233 miles.
Steering wheel sticking or no response at all at highway speeds going around 60-80 miles per hour.
Sticky steering wheel at highway speed 70mph and when you put enough force to make it turn it jerks and you have to over correct it and go the other way to maintain in the middle lane on the highway. Takes about 10-15miles to start doing it but does not go away at all once it starts. Happens everytime on the highway
All lights have popped up on dash. Stayed on for 2 days back in july and then went off. Came back on 2 days ago (oct 5th) and have not went off yet. LKA, cruise control, parking brake light, TPMS, traction control, and engine light.
I noticed a loud grinding noise and reduced braking power coming from my 2020 Honda Accord while driving at normal city speeds. A local mechanic inspected it and found that the rear brake caliper was sticking and causing premature wear. I contacted Honda service, but they refused to cover the cost or inspect it under goodwill, even though similar issues have been reported with other Honda models. This issue puts my safety at risk as braking is compromised and steering becomes harder. The problem was confirmed by a local certified mechanic and is available for inspection if needed.
Steering sticks when driving straight. Additional pressure needed on steering input causing car to jerk left or right.
While driving at highway speeds, the vehicles steering becomes locked in place requiring a substantial amount of force to turn with the road causing the car to jerk which then cause me to over correct. There are no warning lights that have come on. The vehicle has less then 60k miles. The problem has been reproduced by a Honda dealer. They stated that they don't know how the steering rack could have failed.
