While driving my Honda on a highway at approximately 65 mph after rainfall, I experienced a serious and potentially life-threatening safety failure. Without warning, the steering wheel suddenly became locked/restricted, making it extremely difficult to control the vehicle. At the same time, numerous warning lights and safety-system warnings appeared, including: - Brake system warning - Electric Power Steering (EPS) warning - Vehicle Stability Assist warning - Hill Start Assist warning - Adaptive Cruise Control warning - Lane Keeping Assist warning - Collision Mitigation Braking System warning - Road Departure Mitigation warning This incident occurred while I was traveling approximately 65 mph on the highway and nearly caused me to lose control and crash. The sudden loss/restriction of steering control combined with the simultaneous failure or disabling of multiple driver-assistance and safety systems created an extremely dangerous situation. The fact that this occurred after driving in rainy/wet conditions is also concerning. I have researched this issue online and found numerous reports from other Honda owners describing similar warning lights, steering/electric power steering problems, and multiple safety-system failures, particularly involving Honda Accord vehicles. I am extremely concerned that this may represent a recurring safety-related defect rather than an isolated incident. A steering system that can suddenly become locked or severely restricted while a vehicle is traveling at highway speed presents a serious risk of a crash, injury, or loss of life. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency investigate this issue, review complaints involving similar Honda vehicles, and determine whether there is a common defect involving the electric power steering system, electrical system, water intrusion, or communication between the vehicle's safety-control modules. This problem needs to be investigated before someone is seriously injured or killed.Best regards.

This event occurred after a history of ABS system issues as well as Infotainment system issues since 10k miles. During morning commute at approximately 60 mph, all dash warnings began to chime associated with the Touring features of the sedan. TPMS, Collision Avoidance, Braking System, Lane Departure, etc. AND Electric Power Steering. The steering wheel clicked and immediately became difficult to steer. I found a safe pullover point and managed to return the car safely the short distance home.
My husband was driving our 2022 Honda Accord home eastbound on [XXX] on Friday, [XXX] from Oswego to Saratoga Springs from a funeral. It was extremely hot that day. It started to rain and he was going the speed limit and the steering locked up. He ended up doing at least one 360 possible two and then hit the guardrail. We never had a recall on our steering but a lot of issues while driving on the lane controls. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Brake system error and turbo and head gasket need to be changed. So may complaints about this...
The steering wheel became hard to turn randomly and the power steering problem warning came on but then went away. At one point the driver assist turned off and the lights were orange but then it went away too. It keeps happening when I'm parking. The steering wheel gets stiff and the warning comes on and goes away. There were no lights or warnings prior, just started happening randomly. This is recent and I have not yet got it inspected but it is available for inspection.
I’ve had problems with my steering wheel ,I’ve taken many times to alignment n it always some how loses alignment but also my gears feel weird when I drive like it pulls a bit delayed and my dash is saying electrical steering problem ,n my car don’t be trying to turn on recently it doesn’t charge I guess
Turning the wheel when the car is in park or reversing causes a very loud groaning sound. Honda claims it’s not a safety issue so to ignore it but it has been happening since the car had less than 48,000 miles on it and seems to be a common problem online. A recall is needed to replace the defective part.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and turning, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the EPS (Electric Power Steering) module had failed; however, the contact was informed that there was no repair available at the time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 24,686.
steering feels tighter turning left than right. when turning left the wheel centers back up but when turning right it dosnt center. my alignment is fine when my wheel is straight it goes straight. it also likes to center up a little to the right. no one could fix this issue. i took it to a mechanic after multiple honda visists and they said it might be the steering rack. i took it back to honda after a clicking noise started happening when i turn at slow speeds or stopped and they said it was the steering rack but there was nothing they could do untill the investogstion for it was done
Woke up and started my car, all the lights were on including engine light. no adapter cruise, steering light was on. Screen also was saying avoid speeding. Every notification was telling me go to the dealer ship. I took it Howdy Honda in Texas and they said we will need to do a diagnostic and it was for 255 for to see what the problem was. They looked and said I had code for po172(rich) and misfire on p0301 told me I need to replace fuel injectors. Which cost 1933$. Which is way too much and fuel injectors a labor should be covered under Federal Emissions Warranty but they said no. So I am filing a recall for fuel injectors for my 2022 Honda accord sports se. I am unable to drive because it’s in limp mode. I also have documentation from howdy for quote.
