I first noticed the steering clicking noise at approximately 1,500 miles but initially overlooked it.  The issue was previously confirmed by an authorized Honda dealer. In September 2025, the technician documented that the noise was easily duplicated while driving or stationary, used diagnostic equipment to locate it, identified the clicking/tapping as coming from the EPS steering rack assembly, and replaced the EPS rack under warranty. A later service record stated that the steering clicking problem was fixed.  The same/similar clicking noise later returned. In August 2026, the dealer again documented the complaint but stated that the noise was a \u201cnormal characteristic\u201d of the model/year rather than identifying and permanently correcting the cause.  I have spent many personal hours testing, documenting, and comparing the vehicle with other similar Honda Accords. I obtained multiple comparison videos showing comparable vehicles tested under similar stationary steering conditions that do not produce the repeated clicking noise present in my vehicle. I provided this evidence and the service history to American Honda Corporate.  American Honda also published a March 20, 2026 Tech Line Summary, \u201cClicking Sound While Turning the Steering Wheel,\u201d applicable to 2023 and later Accord models, describing a clicking/light ticking/binding condition involving the steering gearbox/rack area.  Because this recurring condition involves the steering system, I am concerned about safe vehicle operation if the underlying cause is not properly identified and repaired. My family is uncomfortable riding in the vehicle. The condition remains unresolved, and the vehicle is available for inspection. Supporting service records and additional documentation are being uploaded.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11763529,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/10/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"09/11/2026","vin":"1HGCY2F55SA","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"The panel computer says \"the system updates failed, please see dealer\", however the dealership has assisted with the panel and advise the problem needs to remedied by Honda directly.

Feels more stiff now but very drivable on the highway  Although repaired under warranty, there are hundreds of Facebook, Reddit, and even NHSTA complaints of steering rack issues for 11th gen accords that have fallen on deaf ears. I am fortunate to have my problem fixed in a relatively quick manner and helpful Honda staff.   I am concerned because I hear people complaining this problem coming back after 4-10k miles later. This is a major safety issue in the principle of it all. It is ridiculous that Type Rs and Acuras can get recalled steering racks but not Accord hybrid owners, some waiting 0-5 years for a steering rack recall while owners having to change them out like clockwork on their own dime outside of 36/36k.   This is costing people money in tire degradation that Honda doesn't cover, mental stress, and it tarnishes the name of Honda if they don\u2019t actively work to fix their mistake. NHTSA should have a duty to put pressure on Honda to stop producing Accords, Pilots, Type Rs, Acuras, Odysseys, etc with steering racks that don't work.   Email me if you want service records, its not letting me load them. Steering rack and gear replaced recheck fine. Clock reel was making noise, cable reel was replaced and no more noise. Front tires are at 4/32nds, backs are at 6/32nds\u2014 bought at same time with car. 4 wheel total alignment was done.

At the time of the incident, the vehicle was being driven under normal conditions, below the speed limit, on an empty road. The driver suddenly experienced a loss of control, the vehicle became unresponsive, veered out of its lane, and did not respond to steering correction. The vehicle ultimately collided with an electric pole and was declared a total loss.  At the time of the crash, no recall or warning had been issued.  We reported the incident to Honda on October 23, 2025 (Case #[XXX]), describing the loss of control and unresponsiveness. However, no mention was made of any potential defect or safety concern.  In January 2026, we received a recall notice stating that if the ICM CPU resets while the vehicle is in operation, it may cause loss of drive power and increase the risk of a crash. This description closely matches what occurred during our accident.  We also informed the dealership, Scott Honda (Vineland, NJ), but our concerns were not investigated. Instead, the dealership attempted to sell us another vehicle without addressing the safety issue.  We believe the defect existed prior to the recall and may have directly contributed to the crash. We are also concerned that the manufacturer did not warn us despite our earlier complaint describing similar symptoms.  This incident resulted in the total loss of our vehicle and ongoing financial hardship, as we have been without a replacement vehicle for over six months.  We respectfully request that NHTSA investigate the timing of the recall, the manufacturer\u2019s awareness of the defect, and how pre-recall complaints like ours were handled.

The Safety Incident: While driving at highway speeds (45-70 mph), the steering wheel physically 'sticks' or 'locks' in the center position. To make minor lane corrections, I must apply abnormal force to break the wheel free, causing it to 'snap' or jerk suddenly. This leads to overcorrection and an inability to maintain a safe, straight line in my lane. This 'stiction' worsens after the vehicle warms up (20+ minutes of driving).  The Component: This exhibits the exact symptoms of a defective worm gear/steering gearbox assembly (swelling of internal components due to heat), which is currently under recall/investigation for other Honda models.  Dealer Response: The dealer Wyler Honda of Florence (KY) confirmed the symptoms but refused a warranty repair because the vehicle is 1,500 miles past the 36k limit, despite this being a known manufacturing safety defect. They requested a diagnostic fee to inspect a safety hazard.  I am reporting this to force a recall for the 2025 Accord, as it clearly shares the defective steering rack components found in the recalled Civic/CR-V/Integra models.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]},{"odiNumber":11705057,"manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/08/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"12/15/2025","vin":"1HGCY2F62SA","components":"STEERING","summary":"I am experiencing a knocking/creaking noise at low speeds and when stopped while turning the steering wheel.

When engaging in longer highway drives (40+ minutes) and going at higher speeds (50mph+), the steering wheel starts to \"stick\" close to the center/0 degree mark when making small adjustments in lane (+/-1 to +/- 3 degrees from 0 degrees) or when moving between lanes. This means I have to pay special attention after my drive hits a certain distance, especially when making leftward adjustments on longer curves. The issue is more prevalent in freezing temperatures (20-40F) and becomes less prevalent in warmer temps (55F+), but still noticeable after aforementioned longer drives. Since my commute is about an hour/40 miles, I am able to consistently reproduce the issue later in the drive. One very easy scenario to reproduce the issue in, is on longer/smoother highway curves to the right: when the wheel is \"right\" for a longer period of time at high speeds, the sticking is pretty noticeable when adjusting left to center.   The sticking does not make a noise but is noticeable with one or both hands. The issue is not very noticeable at lower speeds when the power steering kicks in.  While this is just a nuisance at the moment, I am concerned that the issue could get worse and become a safety issue. I have not yet taken the vehicle to the dealer though, as the issue takes a while to reproduce and I am not confident that most service advisors/techs would be willing to drive my vehicle for an hour to reproduce this issue.

Since purchasing the vehicle, I have observed a consistent and concerning pattern: whenever I refuel the car to a completely full tank, the fuel gauge almost immediately begins to drop. Within 5 to 10 minutes of operating the vehicle\u2014sometimes within 30 minutes\u2014the gauge already loses one full bar. This happens regardless of driving conditions or distance traveled.  Under normal circumstances, I would expect a new Honda Accord to retain a full-tank reading for a reasonable period after refueling and to achieve the expected range between fill-ups. Instead, I am experiencing extremely rapid depletion. At best, each full tank lasts me approximately three to four days of moderate driving, far less than a week.  For clarity: \u2022I do not idle the vehicle unnecessarily. \u2022I do not run the air conditioner; I usually drive with the windows open. \u2022I operate the vehicle under normal conditions, without aggressive acceleration or excessive loads.  Despite routine 125-point inspections and regular maintenance at authorized service centers, no visible leaks or external faults have been identified. Yet, the issue persists unchanged. The dealer\u2019s technicians have been unable to detect a mechanical cause, and the vehicle\u2019s diagnostic systems have not shown error codes related to the fuel system.  Given these circumstances, I am deeply concerned that there may be an underlying defect in the fuel delivery system, fuel-pump calibration, or fuel-level sender module, potentially affecting not just my vehicle but others of the same model year. If the system is over-pressurizing or mismanaging the rate of fuel consumption, that would represent both a safety risk and an efficiency failure.
