2007 HONDA ACCORD Steering Problems

I got a notice on a recall again for the air bags for my Honda accord 2007 7GQU329. I have another issue with it my catalytic converter got stolen again and the 1st time the insurance covered it and it got stolen last week again and the insurance is telling me that it’s fraud and they will only cover it once. While this is an issue in my area stealing this parts now my car is totaled and undrivable.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, there was smoke coming from under the hood. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the power steering fluid hose had failed causing the power steering fluid to leak into the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the power steering hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V222000 (Steering). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 320,000.

My car has a steering problem and my car doesn't always drive straight. It is a serious problem when I have to react in a life and death situation when my car just jerks in the opposite direction of my steering.

ON STARTUP, VEHICLE MAKES LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM POWER STEERING. VEHICLE IS TOUGH TO TURN LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN IN MOTION. BUBBLES IN POWER STEERING RESERVOIR. POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING FROM HOSE THAT TRAVELS TOWARDS FRONT OF CAR AND FROM POWER STEERING PUMP. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE NOV 2020 AND I CHECKED VEHICLE TODAY AND POWER STEERING FLUID IS STILL LEAKING FROM BOTH HOSES. VEHICLE MAKES LOUDER GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND IS VERY STIFF

THE POWER STEERING ON MY CAR IS STIFFENING, IT'S HARD TO STEER. THE VSA LIGHT IS ON ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR INTO FINLAY HONDA IN FLAGSTAFF, AZ AFTER I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. I HAD A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP PUT IN BEFORE I SAW THE RECALL NOTICE, SO THEREFORE I TOOK IT IN TO FINLAY HONDA BUT, RECALL WAS NOT PERFORMED DUE TO AN AFTERMARKET POWER STEERING REPLACED IN MY CAR. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WORKED OK FOR AWHILE, BUT IT IS BEGINNING TO STEER HARD AND I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING IT DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW PUMP AND HOSE FROM THE DEALER, AND BESIDES IT'S ON RECALL NO MATTER WHAT. THE POWER TRAIN AND THE TRANNY ARE IN GREAT CONDITION AND I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ON DRIVING THIS GREAT VEHICLE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER (MELLOY HONDA) HERE IN NM IF THE RECALL IS STILL HONORED. AT THE MOMENT MY CAR IS JUST PARKED AT HOME. LIKE I SAID IT IS HARD TO STEER WHEN I DRIVE IT. I WILL NEED THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION BACK AND FORTH TO WORK SOON, AS I WILL BE GOING BACK TO WORK IN AUGUST. I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER AND WILL LOOK FORWARD TO A RESPONSE FROM YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU *TR

I'VE HAD MY POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK & PINION REPLACED. POWER STEERING IS STILL TOUGH, FEELS LIKE I'M TURNING THE WHEEL WITH 40LB WEIGHTS ON EACH SIDE OF IT. SUSPENSION IS FAILING, HITTING A BUMP MAKES MY CAR FEEL LIKE THE SUSPENSION IS PUSHING UP AND MAKES IT FLOAT MOMENTARILY AND MAKES A SLIGHT NOISE WHILE DRIVING. BOTH CV AXLES FAILED FRONT SIDE AT THE SAME POINT OF THAT RUBBER GROMMET IN THE MIDDLE, WATER GETS TRAPPED UNDER IT AND MAKES IT RUST OUT....BOTH OF THEM SNAPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT DIFFERENT POINTS.

I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT HIT ANYONE AND NO ONE HIT ME OR THE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED.

STEERING WHEEL IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO TURN. ONCE TURNED THE WHEELS DO NOT REENTER THEMSELVES AS THEY SHOULD. MANUAL INTERVENTION IS REQUIRED TO RECENTER THE STEERING. ALL OTHER VARIABLES CHECKED (TIRES, AIR PRESSURE, ETC.) AND VERIFIED AS CORRECT. THIS OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS, SLOW TO HIGHWAY.

THE CAR STOPS MOVING EVEN THOUGH IT'S TURNED ON. IN PARK IT STARTED ROLLING. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR ITS IN IT DID NOT MOVE WHEN MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. I ALSO HAVE A POWER STEERING LEAK. BOTH WHICH ARE A PART OF A RECALL SO I DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR ISN'T ON THIS LIST.

Mileage: 125,000

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN DECEMBER 2015. NOW IN NOVEMBER 2016 MY CAR STARTED SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND DISCOVERED RECALL. WHY WASN'T THIS FIXED BEFORE FLAGSTAFF NISSAN SOLD THIS CAR TO ME??? I SPECIFIALLY ASKED ABOUT RECALLS AND I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NONE!! THIS RECALL WAS DONE IN 2012 SO WHY COULDN'T THEY FIGURE THAT OUT BEFORE SELLING IT????

TOOK CAR TO HONDA FOR STEERING RECALL. ALL THEY COULD DO WAS TELL ME WHAT ELSE I NEEDED. POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING . HAVING BREAKS PUT ON AND GUY SHOWS ME MY POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK ALL OVER. THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO BE FIXED.

TOOK CARE IN FOR MAINTENANCE. WAS TOLD COMPLIANCE BUSHING IS WEARING AND SHOULD BE REPLACED SOON. I'M FINDING THIS ITEM COST ABOUT $20. AND SEVERAL HUNDREDS TO FIX DUE TO LABOR. LOOKING AT ALL THE BLOGS, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM HAS UPSET MANY BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN AND LOOKS TO BE A CASH COW FOR THE DEALERSHIPS. IF I WEE TO PURCHASE ALL BUSHINGS FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARM (3 EACH SIDE) THE TOTAL IN PARTS WOULD BE $89. BUT TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE JUST ONE BUSING WOULD BE OVER $500. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAS TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE JUST THE ONE BUSHING. TO PURCHASE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WHICH INCLUDES THE 3 BUSHINGS, IS JUST OVER $300 PER SIDE. PLUS READING ALL THE BLOGS, THE COMPLIANCE BUSHING HAS A TENDENCY TO WEAR QUICKLY. HONDA SHOULD FIX AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

MY ISSUE RELATES TO THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DEVELOPED OVER TIME, WORSENED, I PAID BOATLOADS OF MONEY OVER TIME, ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR OVER & OVER. I'VE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED OTHER ISSUES BUT SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I'VE PAID GOOD MONEY TO HAVE REPAIRED ON A FEW OCCASIONS, ONLY TO BE BACK AT SQUARE ONE TODAY BARELY ABLE TO STEER THE CAR I'VE DECIDED TO STICK TO THIS ALONE. THIS ISSUE IS PROBABLY AS MUCH AN ISSUE WITH DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING AS IT IS WITH HONDA NOT ADDRESSING MY PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS SINCE FROM AROUND 50,000 THRU TODAY THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH THEY ONLY SUGGESTED TO DO ONE SERVICE, THE PROBLEM TEMP WOULD GO AWAY, ONLY TO REAPPEAR SHORTLY THEREAFTER DRAGGING ME BACK IN ALL OVER AGAIN. HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE @ $58,000, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER POWER STEERING PUMP THAT I WAITED TILL 72,000 TO PAY FOR, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER THE RACK & PINION WHICH I PUT OFF TILL 93,000 DUE TO THE COST AND HOW MUCH ALL OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS WERE COSTING ME. TODAY THE CAR HAS 104,000. I HAD ALL WORK DONE BY HONDA UP TO 85,000, BUT HAVE TRIED TO SAVE MONEY AND HAVE HAD SOMEONE ELSE DO THE RACK & PINION AND A FEW OTHER COSTLY ITEMS SINCE. I WENT BACK TO HONDA TODAY FOR THEIR OPINION - NET RESULT - ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS HAVE A BAD LEAK AND NEED TO BE DONE ALL OVER AGAIN - $2400 COST! THE OTHER THING I WANT TO ADD IS THE RECALL ON HONDA ACCORDS "HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE" - OF COURSE, THE RECALL WAS NOT UNTIL AFTER I'D ALREADY PAID FOR THE SERVICE - MY CAR'S HOSE WENT BAD & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON AS WHICH ALL OF THE OTHER HONDAS WERE UNDER RECALL FOR (THE HEAT OF THE ENGINE CAUSED IT TO MELT). WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL I ANTICIPATED RECEIVING A LETTER IN THE MAIL BUT NEVER DID - THE REASON WAS THAT THE RECALL FOR THE HOSE WAS FOR MANY OTHER MODEL YEARS NOT INCLUDING 2007 (MY CAR YEAR). *TR

I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT HONDA OF SPRING DEALERSHIP IN TEXAS. THEY DID A POWER STEERING FLUSH. AFTER THEY WERE DONE, THEY TOLD ME MY HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS NOT LEAKING BEFORE I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED. THEY WANTED OVER $600 TO REPLACE THE HOSE. I BELIEVE THE HOSE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE FLUSH FINISHED IT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE HOSE WAS NOT RECALLED FOR MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR A HOSE AND THE CAR MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE IF THE HOSE IS NOT REPLACED. IF IT DOES, I AM SUING HONDA FOR DEFECTIVE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE DAMAGES. *TR
