2025 HONDA ACCORD Steering Problems

The vehicle wanders down the road side to side. It’s constantly wandering you have to keep correcting it. It also feels like the steering has a gap in it when you go to correct it. It has been at Honda several times. We were told the last time it may need an alignment so Honda did an alignment and it just made it worse. Vehicle has 11000 miles or so.

I am submitting this complaint to report an ongoing steering system issue that I believe may involve the Electric Power Steering (EPS) motor and could affect safe vehicle operation. The primary symptoms are (1) a clicking sound associated with steering while driving, and (2) a loud creaking sound when turning the steering wheel while stopped or at very low speed. The condition has persisted and has not been resolved after I brought the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer. The dealer acknowledged the problem, identified the EPS motor area as the source, and indicated Honda is aware of the issue but currently does not have an available fix. Because this issue is related to the steering system, I feel unsafe driving the vehicle and I am concerned that continued operation could lead to a loss of steering assist or another steering-related malfunction.

I was turning into my parking space after work. The car suddenly showed every single alarm possible it started driving incredibly poorly at low speeds. I turned the car off. I let it rest for a minute. I turned it off and it was horribly slow, but it was able to pull it into the parking space. I did not call a tow truck at this time because the last time they towed into an impound lot and it took days to get it to the dealership. They tried to hold my car for ransom for thousands of dollars. This is a brand new vehicle has broken down multiple times. Honda is trying to externalize flame. The dealership takes no ownership of their faulty merchandise

When driving at low speeds there is a knocking noise when turning from one direction to the other. This issue can also be replicated while stopped. No safety issues have resulted from this issue, but can foresee this becoming a more severe problem in the near future.

With longer drives the steering wheel sticks while trying to make minor corrections to maintain going straight. When it does turn to make a small correction it tends to drift right or left, without actually being able to make the car go straight. The stickiness of the steering makes center impossible.

The vehicle at speed from 40mph and upwards has sticky steering issues that require potential overcorrection from the driver to maintain the vehicle on a straight path. When the driver attempts to make subtle in-lane corrections to keep the vehicle on a straight path, the driver is unable to make small adjustments without the steering making larger adjustments and having to over-correct (ex. if the driver wanted to move the steering wheel 0.5mm, the steering wheel only moves in 1mm increments). Additionally, on following curves that require the driver to adjust the steering wheel about 3-10 degrees in either direction, the steering wheel will stick and not naturally straighten out. The Honda Dealership of Chantilly, VA was able to replicate the issue and was not able to give any reason or develop a path to a solution for the owner to safely operate this Honda. There are also no warning...

Steering binds or sticks while steering wheel is on center requiring diligence to maintain the vehicle's course. The steering also will periodically act as if the road departure system is engaged even when that feature and lane assist are turned off. The vehicle will dart to the right, but not to the left. Vehicle front suspension was re-aligned, but problems still persists.

When I’m driving at highway speeds my steering wheel gets stuck and when this happens I’m over correcting my steering which is causing my car to swerve . I since took the vehicle to the dealership and had the steering rack and pinion replaced.They told me there has been several complaints of this happening and for now they do not have a updated parts as of yet . So they gave me a 12000 or 1 year warranty if this replacement part fails again.

Steering is sticking. Difficult to keep straight and keep the vehicle tracking straight; difficult to add steering input from center. Sticks to move left and right to keep the vehicle centered in the lane.

As I am driving the steering becomes sticky and can be hard to turn the wheel. As a result my alignment is now off on my brand new accord and I have researched and it seems ro be a widespread issue. I would like for Honda to find a permanent solution so that we do not experience a sudden loss in steering or an issue where we may have to jerk the wheel especially on the expressway where it could potentially lead to a loss of control at high speeds.

Steering feels sticky at highway speeds. Noticeably different, irregular and inconsistent effort required to begin steering motion. May cause over correction due to inconsistent effort required to steer. Steering does not have the same sticky feeling at residential speeds.

The contact owned a 2025 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving and making a left or right turn, there was an abnormal popping sound coming from the steering wheel. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering rack had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,500.

Steering wheel sticking at a higher speed (above 60 mile per hrs) causing the vehicle to over correct when turning to the right very dangerous, almost caused me to lose control of the vehicle several times

My 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid (approx. 37,500 miles) has developed a dangerous steering defect identical to the widely known 'Sticky Steering' issue affecting the 2022-2025 Civic and CR-V. 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...

I am experiencing a knocking/creaking noise at low speeds and when stopped while turning the steering wheel. This seems to be a known and commonly reported issue, though Honda has not formally acknowledged it. I am concerned about the potential long-term impact if the issue is left unaddressed and American Honda declines to authorize a steering rack replacement.

The steering sticks and over turns making the car go all over the place. When parked, the steering makes alot of noises when you turn the steering wheel.

The steering is affected, and my vehicle is available for inspection at request. 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...

The steering is "jerky" and stiff. The LKAS is OFF and so is sport mode. I've had this same issue on a previous Honda and the steering gear box needed to be replaced. It feels very unsafe to drive like this. I have attempted to take it to the dealership already and they state they do not feel it and the vehicle is performing as designed. It's still persistent to the point I almost side swiped someone on the freeway today from the sudden jerk while trying to keep straight. I will be taking it back to the dealership ASAP

Frequently when maneuvering at very slow speeds to park in a tight spot, the steering wheel shudders significantly when turning the wheel all the way. This is different from the standard, variable resistance the steering provides at different speeds.

Steering is now popping while turning. Only has 2000 miles on it. Apparently a very widespread issue according to online with no fixes. The steering racks are replaced and the noise and issue returns.

My wheels and steering column makes an extremely loud clacking, squeaking noise when turning left or right almost like my shocks, cv axle or suspension is damaged. The dealer service center can not locate the problem. The infotainment systems does not connect via Bluetooth or usb making it impossible to be hand’s free or access any maps or apps. The dealers service center attempted repair but it did not fix the problem.

This problem is more noticeable when you are in a highway, going at highway speeds. The vehicle pulls to the sides on the lane, like it is trying to correct you as if you were moving out of the lane. Sometimes when it moves to the right, and you correct it, then it moves to the left. We purchased this vehicle on [XXX] with 26 miles on it. By the time the vehicle had 90 miles on it, we knew it had to go to the dealer because what we were feeling was not normal. We took the vehicle to the dealer, and drove it with a technician who noticed the problem immediately. The vehicle stayed at the dealer overnight, and the following day the dealer contacted us to pick up the vehicle. They told us that they had checked the vehicle, and sent information to Honda that they asked...
