2025 Honda Accord steering problems

Filed Nov 4, 2026 · Steering · NC

The steering seems to get really sticky and jumpy at highway speeds, anything 40 and over. It gets worse as the car warms up. It makes its virtually impossible to keep the steering straight, resulting in a bunch of back and forth lane bouncing.

My 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid is experiencing the exact mechanical binding, momentary resistance, and "sticky steering" symptoms outlined in Recall 24V‑744 (and TSB 23-037), but my VIN was excluded from the initial recall wave. The issue first began within the first 10,000 miles of driving and has progressively worsened, now severely impacting the vehicle at 18,000 miles. The sticking and mechanical catching are noticeably worse in fall and winter during colder ambient temperatures. The vehicle exhibits momentary catch-and-release resistance when attempting small steering corrections, creating an unsafe driving experience.

The vehicle exhibits physical steering wheel freeplay/backlash at dead center, noticeable at all speeds but most critical during highway driving. While parked, the steering wheel can be moved slightly in both directions with zero corresponding movement from the front tires. This mechanical slack requires constant micro-adjustments on the highway to keep the vehicle tracking straight in its lane, creating a constant driver distraction and safety hazard."

Recurring steering/front-end clicking/tapping noise occurs when turning the steering wheel left or right, including while the vehicle is stationary and at low speed. I first noticed the steering clicking noise at approximately 1,500 miles but initially overlooked it. The issue was previously confirmed by an authorized Honda dealer. In September 2025, the technician documented that the noise was easily duplicated while driving or stationary, used diagnostic equipment to locate it, identified the clicking/tapping as coming from the EPS steering rack assembly, and replaced the EPS rack under warranty. A later service record stated that the steering clicking problem was fixed. The same/similar clicking noise later returned. In August 2026, the dealer again documented the complaint but stated that the noise was a “normal characteristic” of the model/year rather than identifying and permanently correcting the cause. I have spent many personal hours testing, documenting, and comparing the vehicle with other similar Honda Accords. I obtained multiple comparison videos showing comparable vehicles tested under similar stationary steering conditions that do not produce the repeated clicking noise present in my vehicle. I provided this evidence and the service history to American Honda Corporate. American Honda also published a March 20, 2026 Tech Line Summary, “Clicking Sound While Turning the Steering Wheel,” applicable to 2023 and later Accord models, describing a clicking/light ticking/binding condition involving the steering gearbox/rack area. Because this recurring condition involves the steering system, I am concerned about safe vehicle operation if the underlying cause is not properly identified and repaired. My family is uncomfortable riding in the vehicle. The condition remains unresolved, and the vehicle is available for inspection. Supporting service records and additional documentation are being uploaded.
