“Electronic power steering failure at less than 90,000 miles. Had we been driving at a higher speed, we and others on the road would have been seriously injured or killed. Without any warning, the electronic power steering failed and it was nearly impossible to steer. It took all my strength to turn the steering wheel.”
NHTSA complaint #11164304, filed 2018-12, 89,000 miles“I have 4 warning lights on the dash brake,traction,steering and tire pressure warning lights. I was told that it has to due with a faulty ABS control module. The part has been sold out for some time. When I talked to the gentleman at the shop he told me that a lot people have been having a problem with this. The light are always on the car drives fine but I'm worried because it controls all of the safety associated with the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11403922, filed 2021-03, 110,000 miles“The steering wheel froze up on me at start up. I turned it off and it worked correctly until the next time. After the third time I read about similar problems others were having and knew that it could freeze up while I was driving so I took it to my dealer march 19 2018. Honda doesn't want to talk to me about it. I will fix it and hope for a recall. It will cost me at least $700.”
NHTSA complaint #11111227, filed 2018-07, 40,000 miles“Recently my 2014 bonda Accord sport has been acting up the last week of april 2018 going out for lunch I was going to turn on car and I would not start sh!t starter problem I retried eventually car started up again but now with electronic steering ,ABS, TPMS, and stability control lights lit up at same time same day drove car to dealer have it checked out but 2 miles away from getting there the lights turned off just my luck so headead back home. …”
NHTSA complaint #11098189, filed 2018-05, 46,740 miles“The eps,brake, and ABS lights came on when I started the car and would not go off. We took the car to our mechanic who after doing diagnostics told us we need to take our car to a Honda dealer and not drive any more than we had to for safety reasons. The dealer determined it was the vsa modulator and cost $1788.78 to repair. Really disgusted with Honda as I read online where there have been several other Honda owners with the same problem yet there is still no recall on this problem!”
