2018 Honda Accord Hybrid Steering Problems

“(registering this complaint on 16 sep 19). I bought this car new ('18 Accord Hybrid), 6 sep 18. A couple months later the front struts started making a creaking/popping sound. It was very noticeable when backing out of garage and then driving out of my neighborhood. When I'd rock the steering back and forth, the noise was very audible. Took it back to the dealer and they said neither front strut had been lubed from the factory (very odd), so they lubed them. 2-3 weeks later noise returned. This time dealer said one strut was bad and they replaced it. A month later the same noise returned. …”

“Have a problem steering binding at speeds above 50 MPH while making small adjustments to stay in lane. It seems to be most noticeable 65 MPH on interstate and temp below 35 degrees. Moving left or right it gets hard then cuts loose then you need to over correct back to stay in center. Not safe to drive in center lane. Was ok first 5000 miles.”

“The steering wheel is not a smooth transition from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock or to 11 o'clock. It is as if the pavement is uneven or as if the steering wheel is stuck at 12 o'clock. This is not safe on the highway and especially in the rain. It hasn't snowed yet but I would imagine it is going to very difficult to drive it safely in the snow with this major issue.”

“Since the vehicle reached approximately 5000 miles, I had a massive safety failure of the Honda sense system shutting down, hazard & turn signals inoperative, power locks inoperative, brake system warning light on, loss of auto headlights and information screen. Vehicle was taken to the dealrship and they retrieved trouble code which is a mystery code that Honda does not know why its occuring .... Radar told car to accelerate when vehicle was not in motion u0401-92 along with 3 other codes. …”

“My automatic braking system is activating sporadically with no apparent object in front of me. My car has suddenly come to a complete stop while driving on Market Street, York PA when there was no traffic in front or to the side of me and luckily no one behind me. The BRAKE alert flashed and the car literally screeched to a stop. This happened again when I was in Stewartstown, PA and was starting to go over railroad tracks, it suddenly stopped. Again, no one was in front of me or behind me. I routinely drive I-83 from York to Harrisburg 3 days a week to go to work. …”
