2024 Honda Accord problems

Filed Nov 4, 2026 · Steering · MA

I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding a severe, recurring manufacturing defect in the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system of my 2024 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid. This vehicle is currently undergoing its second total steering rack replacement in under two years. The original factory steering gear unit failed and was replaced by an authorized Honda dealership in July 2025. Now, a year and four months later in November 2026, that replacement steering rack has also suffered a complete mechanical failure and must be replaced again today. The steering system exhibits the well-documented "sticky steering" defect, characterized by excessive internal friction, momentary binding, physical sticking, and catching at highway speeds. This requires sudden, increased steering effort to correct, creating a severe and immediate safety hazard as it compromises the driver's ability to maintain lane control. Honda recently issued a massive safety recall (Recall 24V‑744) for over 1.7 million vehicles suffering from this exact defective EPS gearbox design, yet the 2024 Honda Accord was excluded from the campaign. My vehicle's repeated failures prove that the defect extends to the Accord lineup. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate why the 2024 Accord was omitted from Recall 24V‑744 and mandate that Honda permanently remedy this recurring steering safety hazard at no cost to consumers.

When traveling down a road the CMBS will detect an object at times in your path of travel. Other times for example I was traveling i95 North in the middle lane, car detected a vehicle to my left and then indicated the car was attempting to cut me off thus activating breaking system, there wasn't any vehicles to my left or right. There was vehicles directly behind me and to my far right lane. Such issues have happened multiple times, I've spoken to 3 different Honda dealerships regarding this matter, I've been unsuccessful in getting this dangerous issue resolved. I'm told the technician would have to replicate the issue, well this CMBS issues happens randomly without any prior warning.

The steering rack is clicking and clunking at low speed turns or even when the car is parked or still and you turn the wheel, any alignment that’s done to the car goes bad right away because the rack box is messed up, it has play and it vibrates the steering wheel when driving, I called the dealership and they won’t help me or fix the issue because there is no recall on the part but many other Honda owners are experiencing that same issue, the safety issue is that my steering wheel has play and it will turn at anytime, it’s been inspected and the rack is the issue, no warning lamps or messages.

1. The service center diagnosed the BCM as faulty. I do not have the faulty part available as it was replaced. Service center work notes: Vehicle no start confirmed, battery voltage is at 12.4V. Vehicle has message on dash to touch key to ignition start stop button, with no success. Proceeded to inspect all main fuses to under hood fuse box, found all fuses are good main 175 amp fuse is ok, along with all four multi fuses. Proceeded to follow troubleshooting for message displayed on dash, tested key fob for unlock and lock functions, tested start stop button functions with no issues. Checked fuses that power is at each supply pin, pin 1 on connector a has 12.2v and pin 18 12.3v. Used the ground from connector pin 51 while testing voltage on previous pins to confirm ground is good. It is suspected that bcm has a internal failure and will need to be checked with known good unit, reprogrammed and retest to confirm vehicle will start. 2. The car in the faulty condition had no noticeable difference from one with a low battery so I tried to jump start the vehicle per the owners manual. This put me at a significant fire risk of over charging the battery. 3. Unknown if the manufacturer, insurance or police inspected it. 4. No warning lamps prior to failure. Dash was entirely blank other than aforementioned instruction about the key fob.

The vehicle repeatedly has creaking, sticky steering/issues with steering, and clunking sounds when driving. Sound is more prominent at low speeds and when cornering. The vehicle's steering rack has already been replaced twice within 3 years. The vehicle is model year 2024, and to have an unrepaired defect like this is ridiculous. This is a major safety issue for vehicle operation, and it appears that replacement parts carry the same design defect. The problem (defective steering rack due to worm gear swelling) has already been identified and reproduced by two different Honda dealers. There are no warning lamps, messages, or codes thrown by the vehicle. The symptoms include the obvious noises and the abnormal steering feel.

The steering gear/rack on my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid has failed twice. The original rack was replaced under warranty at 36,330 miles (January 2026). At approximately 41,000 miles I returned to the dealer reporting the same symptoms, but it was not diagnosed. At 51,849 miles (XXX) the dealer, Ocean Honda of [XXX], confirmed the replacement rack is failing: the steering assist intermittently cuts out, and the wheel sticks when changing lanes at around 70 mph. The steering also makes noise. The dealer recommends replacing the steering gearbox (part 53620-30B-D01). This happens at highway speeds, and the sudden increase in steering effort creates a risk of losing control of the vehicle. The symptoms are similar to the excessive-friction steering gearbox defect Honda recalled on the 2022–2025 Civic, CR-V and HR-V, but the Accord is not included in that recall.

When I go to start the vehicle, it takes multiple seconds to actually start. It continues to turn over and over before finally starting up. This happens 3-4 times a day depending on how often I drive. This also creates a bad gas fume, fuel smell. This doesn't seem like something that a 2024 Honda should experience. I am a new owner to the car and have not taken it to a certified Honda dealership. It was purchased used from a non-Honda dealership. I did reach out to the local Honda dealership though, asking if this is normal for the car to act like this. I am awaiting a response.
