“I own a 2023 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid. At approximately 42,000 miles, all of the warning lights illuminated while driving. The warnings included Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Parking Collision Warning, and multiple other system alerts. At the same time, I experienced a loss of electric power steering assist, increased steering resistance, and clicking/popping noises coming from the steering rack. …”

NHTSA complaint #11753519, filed 2026-07

“My 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid with only 16,000 miles on it has been having an intermittent steering problem for approx 2 months. I have seen this same issue reported by other 2023 Accord owners. When making a sharp turn, parking, etc. I hear a sort of clicking/tapping sound that seems to be coming from the front/steering rack of the car. Almost sounds like a gear needs lubricating. I reported this to my service technician today when my car was in for normal maintenance and they could not reproduce the issue. …”

“Florida recently experienced a lower than average cold front. During this cold weather I started experiencing a problem with my steering. I initially described it as a twitching feeling with my steering but the next day I figured out how to recreate the issue consistently. My car wants to push me to the left into oncoming traffic. When I correct to the right I feel a momentarily resistance then the steering let's go and then steers right. I could repeatedly do this again and again. Car drifts left I steer right, steering sticks and then let's go to the right. …”

NHTSA complaint #11638514, filed 2025-01

“I have had my vehicle in the dealer on 4 or 5 occasions, where the issue persisted, where the steering wheel made a clicking noise. I was able to duplicate the issue for the dealer a few times, and they were unable to fix it. The dealer replaced the master cylinder, the steering rack was adjusted, and still the issue persists. After many trips to the dealer, I got sick and tired and got into an argument with the dealer, and the dealer refused to work on my car any longer. I am stuck now with a steering issue that appears to be affecting a lot of other and they refuse to help me get it fixed.”

NHTSA complaint #11737925, filed 2026-05

“Driving at highway speed (70 MPH) the power assist steering and all of the Honda Sensing suit subsystem totally quit working. The dash had multiple warming lights and dialog box's describing system failures, I continued driving till I could get off of the highway and turned the vehicle off, after about 10 minutes I restarted the vehicle and all systems and steering reset. Drove the vehicle to Lompoc Honda for maintenance diagnostics they found multiple codes but no real cause, the dealership cleared the code per Honda's direction and test drove the vehicle several times. …”
