2017 HONDA ACCORD Steering Problems

There wasn’t an accident. My ABS module has went out. Which has the traction control light, break light, power steering light, tire light, and ABS light all on, on my dash. After a lot of research it is a known issue in models from 2008-2017 so I feel like there should be a recall on this before something happens. I was driving down the hwy going about 50 when I seen a car pull out of a side road. I had to slam on break and my traction control didn’t work at all. I slid all over the road. Luckily I was able to stop before hitting the car, but the traction control made me go all over the road. This is a problem!

The contact owned a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the steering wheel locked in place without warning veering to the right direction, and crashed into a highway guardrail. The air bags did not deploy and the contact did not seek immediate medical attention; however, the contact suffered of headaches days after the accident. The contact later discovered that she had suffered a concussion after an unrelated MRI scan was performed. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer and was informed that there were no recalls associated with the VIN. The contact stated that the failure occurred an additional two times after the initial failure. The vehicle was later auctioned off after the contact could not afford to have the vehicle repaired for the damage. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Power steering intermittently go out while driving. The issue was fixed at the Inver Grove, MN Honda March 2022 by replacing the EPS unit. Appears to be the same issue happening now in Oct. 2024. Being reviewed at the same dealership.

Belt tensioner seized causing serpentine belt to slip and fail and loss of steering.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and depressing the brake pedal, the steering wheel seized intermittently, causing the vehicle to strike a wall. There were no reported injuries. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where cosmetic damages were repaired but the failure was not determined. The contact stated that shortly afterwards the steering wheel seized again. The contact mentioned that the vehicle had routine maintenance therefore the battery and alternator were currently new on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 158,000.

Vehicle ABS malfunctioning making some dashboard lights come on. A bunch of random codes in the readers makes it hard to identify the issue. Codes are not specific and a bunch of other components need to be tested/replaced before realizing the actual main issue causing the owner spend a ridiculous amount of money and time. Only dissappear if ABS module is replaced which is hard to find(up to two years of wait) unless bought used which also comes with the same risk of failing prematurely. This problem messes up with the vehicle traction in raw weather conditions, as well as braking, steering, and overall safety of the occupants.

2017 Honda Accord V6; Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Module went bad and it needs to be replaced but Honda is unable to provide quick fix or a replacement part because it is backordered and they don't know when they'll have it in stock even when I am willing to pay for it upfront. This is causing my car to go out of control on wet roundabouts or when merging from interstate to local roads w/ good Tires condition and within speed limit.

Bought Honda Accord 2017 new car from Honda dealer Only drove around 18,000 mile so far One day while coming back home from work in middle of the road power steering become hard unable to make turn I was lucky that no one around me Some way I manage to get home since it is my garage This is really dangerous issue Honda has they should to take action for recall for hard power steering issue

I have had two major issues with my 2017 Honda Accord sport since buying it brand new that the Honda dealership will do nothing about even though I’ve specifically been told twice on two separate occasions that the car was manufactured defected. My mitigation systems has failed multiple times where it just stops responding losing control of the steering and accelerating on its own. One of those times caused me to run off the highway into the ditch. It just randomly iluminates all “mitigation systems failure” at the most random times. Another thing is the ridiculous tire issues I’ve had with this vehicle. I have put brand new set, after set, after set on this car. On two occasions atleast one my brand new tires lasted less then two weeks after purchasing due to extreme wear on the inside of the tires. Two different automotive mechanics have told me I...

UNKNOWN My brother had a car accident and was deceased in it. Very disappointed in Honda's safety/crash ratings.

Twice in the past month the steering has frozen on my 2017 Honda Accord hybrid, making it nearly impossible to turn the wheel manually. Fortunately on both occasions we were driving at low speeds on city streets and could pull over or drive slowly to a destination. There were no warnings that the steering was about to freeze, but both times the automatic lane departure light came on. In the second instance I was driving on a narrow street and I was not outside of my narrow lane or I would have hit the curb or oncoming cars. The car was checked once by a highly regarded mechanic who could find nothing wrong with the steering or electronic system. This was one day after the first incident and the steering worked normally on the short ride to the mechanic. The car has now been at the dealer's service center. I...

If the car sits idle for more than 4 days, the battery dies. The car has 60,000 miles and we are replaced the battery once and it continues to die if it sits for more than 4 days. The car pulls to the right side regardless of how many times I have it balanced. The LED day running light on the driver side front died when the car only had 50,000 miles on it.

THE ENGINE STOPS SOMETIMES WHEN I DRIVE AND THE WHEEL SHAKES; JOLTS WHEN I'M WAITING ON A STOP SIGN.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRICAL PLUG. IT WENT OUT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN TO HONDA. YET THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 4 WEEKS.

HEAVY STEERING WHEELS AND FEEL STIFFER COMING OUT OF PARKING OR MAKING U TURN. ALSO, VIBRATION CAN BE FELT WHILE DRIVING AND/OR BRAKING 40MPH TO 60MPH. REPORTED TO YONKERS HONDA, NEW ROCHELLE HONDA, AND BRONX HONDA BUT DID ACKNOWLEDGE OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE, INSTEAD STATED EVERYTHING IS WORKING NORMAL WHEN IT IS NOT!

FIRST ISSUE I NOTICED WITH MY CAR WAS THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD IN THE MIDDLE LANE MY CAR WILL PULL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, GARDEN STATE HONDA IN PASSAIC NEW JERSEY, AND THEY REPORTED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE THE CAR AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED. NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER, DCH PARAMUS HONDA IN PARAMUS NEW JERSEY, AND AGAIN IT WAS REPORTED BY THIS DEALER THAT THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I DROVE MY CAR AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE DEALERS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE (2/3/2018. 15691 MILES) ON THE SIDE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO GARDEN STATE HONDA REGARDING THE TIRE DAMAGE AND THEY DECLINED...

WHEN DECELERATING WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. ALL AT ONCE, THE CAR'S CONTROL AND STEERING COULD NOT BE EASILY MANEUVERED AND ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM (EPS) INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED. THERE WAS NO WARNING NOR INDICATION THAT THE STEERING WAS COMPROMISED. I MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE ALLOWING IT TO COAST. THE STEERING WILL WAS STIFF AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF TURNING DID NOT NOT CONTROL THE CAR ACCURATELY. I COASTED TO A STOP IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE EPS LIGHT WAS NOT PRESENT AND THE STEERING CONTROL WAS REESTABLISHED. THINKING THIS WAS POSSIBLE DUE TO A GLITCH, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO MILES WHEN THE SYSTEM ONCE AGAIN WENT OUT AND THE EPS LIGHT SIGNALED AT THE SAME TIME. I...

I WAS MAKING A U TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK IT SELF AND I COULDNT MOVE IT ANY MORE AND IT MADE ME CRASH IN TO THE SIDE WALK HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT TOOK IT WITH A TOW TRUCK

WHILE DRIVING MY NEW CAR ON A PUBLIC ROAD DURING A RIGHT TURN INTO ANOTHER PUBLIC ROAD, MY POWER STEERING FAILED ALMOST CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP LATER INFORMED ME THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO RODENT DAMAGE TO MY POWER STEERING HARNESS.

AFTER IT RAINED, WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY SERIES OF ERRORS/PROBLEM MESSAGES CAME UP ON MY DASHBOARD. INCL, EMISSIONS CONTROLS SYSTEM PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE SYS PROB, AVOIDANCE COLLISION SYS PROB, COLLISION MITIGATION SYS PROB, POWER STEERING SYS PROB, ETC. MADE CALLS IMMEDIATELY TO HONDA CONTACTS AND GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENED AS THE MAINTENANCE DEPT'S AT HONDA WERE CLOSING FOR THE WEEKEND. EXCEPT FOR THE MESSAGES THE CAR SEEMED TO BE DRIVING OKAY. STILL DROVE SLOWLY TO GET GROCERIES SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO BACK OUT. AS I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK; I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. TRIPLE A THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO WETNESS GETTING INTO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR WITH HIM PRESENT, POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. SO, I DROVE IT HOME AGAIN VERY SLOWLY. NEXT MORNING I STARTED THE CAR TO...
