2024 Honda Accord: loss of power steering

Filed Sep 6, 2026 · Steering · CA

Clicking and light ticking noise from the electric power steering (EPS) rack when turning the steering wheel, with the vehicle stationary or at low speed. No loss of steering control and no crash or injury. Repair history on this VIN for the same concern: the steering rack and pinion was replaced twice under the first owner (04/08/2024 at 5,566 miles and 05/21/2024 at 8,730 miles). The noise returned. I purchased the vehicle in November 2025. I have taken it in twice more. On Feb 2026, a Honda Field Technical Specialist verified the clicking noise from the EPS rack, found the EPS motor out of adjustment, and performed an adjustment. The noise returned within 2 months and is present now at 33,800 miles. Honda Tech Line Summary Article ATS30025 (March 20, 2026) covers this symptom on 2023 and later Accord, attributes it to insufficient clearance between the steering gearbox motor housing and the steering rack, describes the available procedure as a temporary solution that may not resolve the issue, and states that a permanent countermeasure is still being developed. American Honda has told me no permanent repair exists and would make no commitment beyond a possible future recall. The Accord was not included in recall 24V‑744, which covered the steering gearbox on other Honda models. I am reporting this so the agency has data on the same component in the Accord.

Car parked for 6 days while on vacation. Came back it started fine but 30 mins into travel, I lost power steering while on the highway next to a tractor trailer and the warning lights were shifting through a cycle of warnings of things not working. It told me to go to the dealership which I brought on my way home. They looked and said it was because i didn't drive it. The car is 1 year old and that battery should be working. I travel at least 120 miles a day5 days a week so there isn't a deficit of charging. Regardless, this should not be normalized by Honda. There should be something I can do to check this situation prior to driving. I do have a video of the cycle of warnings but I can't upload it here. Contact me for it if you would like it.

My accord has an EPS gearbox recall. Causing problems with steering. The issue has been confirmed by Honda dealership. I’ve researched the issue, it could cause the vehicle to lose steering control and crash. I started hearing a loud springy/scraping noise about a week and a half ago. I took my vehicle to Pat Peck Honda (Gulfport, MS) the next day. Today I was at the dealership for 5 hours, they claimed they fixed the issue. After leaving, my car is making the same noise. Worried for the safety of myself and my child. The dealership stated they cannot give me a loaner, yet they have not fixed the issue.

The Steering is stiff and pulls to the left . When steering the driver has to overcompensate to make small changes . it sometimes ping pongs back and forth and pulls to the left and sometimes to the right. The alignment was checked by a Honda Dealer and was ok. There are no warning lights. I am trying to get the manufacturer to inspect this vehicle , because I have taken it to the dealer and they deny any problems with it. After driving it, the dealership stated "it was within specifications" . I am in the process of having a different dealer to look at it because the manufacturer will not inspect it until a dealer finds a problem. I have opened a case with the manufacturer , but can't get them to inspect the vehicle as of yet. I feel the vehicle is dangerous to drive. I have nearly lost control of the vehicle on 2 occassions when it was pulling to the left and came within inches of hitting a truck. This is not driver error , I have a perfect driving record.
