2024 HONDA ACCORD Steering Problems

The component not functioning properly in the steering gear box. It is available for inspection. The steering sticks. With my hand at 12:00, it takes the width of my hand to unstick while driving. The component has been inspected and was determined the gears inside the gear box are binding. Causing the steering to stick. There was no warning and there is no damage present. I have had the car inspected by a Honda dealer and I have also reported it to Honda USA.

There has been a growing number of people, including myself that are experiencing sticky steering wheels, steering rack issues and clunking when turning the steering wheel in 2023-2025 Honda Accords. A recall has only came out for Civics and Integras, but none for Honda Accords. I had the issue arise earlier this year in January. It was not as consistent and noticeable until the end of January. I made an appointment, I was told the sound couldn’t be recreated and sent home. I brought it right back and was given a piece of paper noting the issue for Civics and that there was nothing to be done and it won’t get worse. It did get worse and I brought it in a few days later just to be told someone from somewhere is coming to fix it. They regreased the gearbox and the noise was gone in February. The noise has since returned as of 12/25/2025, accompanies with a sticky steering wheel when driving at highway speeds. This issue continues to be brushed off and told it is safe to drive when no one should have to drive with a steering concern regardless if it is not bad “yet”. Consumers all over are stating the steering racks are replaced and other things but the issue just returns so it is not just a isolated situation, several people are dealing with this and it’s being ignored. Individuals personal experience can be found all over reddit including videos proof of the noise that is being made. This is my 2nd report!

Steering rack is starting to creak non stop, it began around 4k miles, the car currently has 5,350 miles. Brought car to Lia Honda, Northampton, Ma. They tightened up all front suspension bolts but this did nothing and told me "drive the car more to see if the noise goes away" However after spending 5 mins researching on the internet I came across a plethora of 11th gen accord owners complaining about this specific noise and even multiple video recordings of it. From what I gather there is a defective worm gear and spring tension or something along these lines with numerous owners having their entire steering rack replaced under warranty. However many of those who's steering rack was replaced began to hear this ever present, constant creaking noise all the time and I do mean all of the time. a Perplexity AI, Chatgpt, or Google AI leads to an alarming amount of owners having to deal with this issue. So currently my purchased brand new in may of 2024 honda accord with 5.3K odd miles on it is creaking non stop at all times other than driving straight on the highway. It is incredible to me at least that honda has not issued a recall as they did with the civics and crvs with essentially the same problem. Thank you for your time.

The steering in my Accord started to make cloud clicking and clunking noises while parked and during low speed driving. I took it to the dealer in November of 2024 and they replaced the steering rack. Ever since, the car has never driven the same. First the alignment was all off and the car pulled to the left. After taking it to the dealership multiple times, it still is not steering correctly. I now have to pull the wheel to the right to keep the car straight in the lane. It can be even worse on the highways as it needs a lot of micro adjustments to the steering wheel to keep the vehicle centered in a lane. Dealership as of this month says they cannot reproduce the issue but I can. The loaner Accord they gave me did not have any of the steering issues that my vehicle has.

Sticky steering. Steering wheel sticks when attempting to make small adjustments at speeds above 45 MPH.

I took today for second opinion at Firestone I was told that vehicle can’t be aligned! due to right wheel caster is advanced or off by 0.6 inch which points to: 1 suspension issue ( got inspected multiple times) 2 subframe problems or frame damage due to manufacturing problems or geometry ratios defect I really don’t know what to do! Filled complain with you guys earlier …never heard back attached is Repair inspection from today and multiple alignments attempted by dealership on 10/2 10/29 and last 11/9 Parts was replaced at dealer 1 Rack and pinion component. 2 steering cable reel.

The contact's daughter owns a 2024 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated.

When turning the steering wheel at 25 mph or higher there is sometimes a clicking sound from the steering wheel like something is getting caught in the wheel when it turns, the dealer was unable to find the cause but tightened some loose bolts sating that may be the cause, it wasn't.

My accord has an EPS gearbox recall. Causing problems with steering. The issue has been confirmed by Honda dealership. I’ve researched the issue, it could cause the vehicle to lose steering control and crash. I started hearing a loud springy/scraping noise about a week and a half ago. I took my vehicle to Pat Peck Honda (Gulfport, MS) the next day. Today I was at the dealership for 5 hours, they claimed they fixed the issue. After leaving, my car is making the same noise. Worried for the safety of myself and my child. The dealership stated they cannot give me a loaner, yet they have not fixed the issue.

Clicking/popping noise when turning steering wheel. Was told it could be the steering gear box issue that is associated with the CIVICs but there is not fix yet at the dealer near me. No warning lights, but this is starting to become an issue

The steering wheel sticks in either direction when driving. It makes it difficult to drive straight on the turnpike especially on the tighter sections of the road. Making small corrections becomes difficult when the steering wheel sticks and I end up snapping back and forth on the lanes. I have brought the issue up to the dealer twice a year apart and they won't confirm the issue because the computer didn't flag anything. Previously about a year ago I told the dealer about the steering issue but they didn't know what was wrong and then a few months later the recall for the steering was issued. I assume its the same issue but the Honda accord model is missing from the recall list.

Steering is sticking on highway after 30+ mins of driving, same issue as the 2024 Honda Civic that I traded in for this model unfortunately. Issue started at 3,300 miles, just like the Civic. Known steering gearbox (wormwheel) issue.

I purchased this vehicle in January 2014 and it’s been giving problems since then. I have replaced the gas cap twice because it always gets stuck and I’m unable to open the door. I spoke to the Honda dealer where I purchased and they told me to contact American Honda. I have replaced my tires twice because once it blew on the freeway and the other time on the street out of nowhere. I’m currently at the dealer because the TPMS light came on yesterday and I’m afraid to drive the car with my small children and the Service Director told me there’s no staff to assist me and I might have to wait over 3 hours to take a look at my car. He said the recall for the steering wheel is not a safety issue. Every time I park and rotate the steering wheel it makes a squeaky sound and I’m tired of dealing with issues on a vehicle that I leased less than a year ago. Please help, I use my car to drive my kids to school.

The Steering is stiff and pulls to the left . When steering the driver has to overcompensate to make small changes . it sometimes ping pongs back and forth and pulls to the left and sometimes to the right. The alignment was checked by a Honda Dealer and was ok. There are no warning lights. I am trying to get the manufacturer to inspect this vehicle , because I have taken it to the dealer and they deny any problems with it. After driving it, the dealership stated "it was within specifications" . I am in the process of having a different dealer to look at it because the manufacturer will not inspect it until a dealer finds a problem. I have opened a case with the manufacturer , but can't get them to inspect the vehicle as of yet. I feel the vehicle is dangerous to drive. I have nearly lost control of the vehicle on 2 occassions when it was pulling to the left and came within inches of hitting a truck. This is not driver error , I have a perfect driving record.

Sticky steering gearbox. Same problem 1.6 million other Hondas have under current recall. I need my vehicle included in the recall. Thank you.

The Instrument Panel Display combined with the Front Sensor Camera failed. This risked my live as well as others lives on the road due to the ill ability to predict when it will fail as well as the difficulty to control the sporadic behavior. The Lane Keep assist system would also overcorrect and have very strong and hard to control corrections with the wheel. The Instrument panel would also turn off mid drive and I would not be able to see my speedometer. It has been seen by multiple diffferent Honda Service Centers and no one can figure out the issue. Camera issues have been recalled on previous models.

While driving steering wheel becomes resistant at times, when attempting to turn left or right or navigating a curve steering wheel resist thus having to give extra effort to accomplish task. During this time steering wheel becomes very difficult to turn, then becomes free turning and immediately returns to being tight. At times steering acts as if you're going between a power steering wheel to a non power steering. Having such issues could definitely reduce ones reaction time when steering.

It seems like the steering gear assembly is making a popping/clicking noise when stopped or at slow speeds. This has been diagnosed by an independent shop and inspected by a Honda Master Technician and confirmed that the steering gear assembly has an internal issue. It was informed to me to have the car immediately serviced at the dealership due to a MAJOR safety concern to myself and others on the road as if the steering gear were to malfunction it could cause a crash. There are no warning lamps or any messages on the dashboard that has popped up. And there has been no other symptoms leading up to this issue. The vehicle is also available for inspection upon any request. No insurance representatives, police have inspected the vehicle

On Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2024 at approx 7:45 am, I started this car with approx 3,900 miles and every available warning light in the dash cluster illuminated (see photos I’ve attached). I immediately shut off the vehicle and waiting several moments, then restarted. It appeared even more lights illuminated. I attempted to immediately drive the car to nearby honda dealership but the car’s shifter was locked in park, the steering wheel was also locked dead center. Had it towed to dealer and it has been there one week now. Honda has no answers. They told me honda North America is involved and even they do not have an answer. Right now I have serious safety concerns, specifically will steering lock at interstate speed? That situation with an entire family onboard would be tragic.
