While my husband was driving the vehicle at highway speeds, he indicated the steering wheel suddenly wanted to turn to the left on it's own. I drove the vehicle the next day and really did not notice an issue.  However, my adult daughter drove the vehicle the following day and after driving the vehicle a short distance had to return home because the steering suddenly became very difficult to turn to the right, but super loose when turning to the left to the point it was almost impossible to control.  I drove the vehicle for myself and found the same, plus the steering was extremely jerky, not at all smooth as it once was.    The vehicle is in the repair shop now with an independent mechanic we trust 100%.  He lifted the vehicle and was shocked at how the steering is reacting, advising the vehicle is definitely not safe to drive in it's present state.  His extensive research, coupled with the codes presented, leads him to believe the rack and pinion needs replacement.  Unfortunately, the repair cost is quite high due to the parts cost and labor involved.    After reading all of the reports online about this exact same complaint from other consumers, I am disturbed that Honda has not done a recall.  If so many of these vehicles are having this exact same issue, and it is a very strong safety hazard, why is this not considered an incident that requires recall?  And how can I be assured that the Honda replacement parts are not going to fail in the future for the exact same reason?  Do I now have a vehicle that is unsafe and I will constantly worry the steering is going to fail? I live in a rural area and hate to think that at any time the steering could fail and my car and it's occupants could end up in a ravine or body of water.     Even after the repair is complete, I will always be uneasy driving this vehicle.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
