Driving down houston freeway when out of nowhere my steering wheel became too hard to move. Immediately after the light on dash for steering wheel came on. I was able to safely make my way to far right lane where I was able to exit. Once I exited I turned off vehicle restarted and both steering and light were back to normal. I drove down maybe 4-5 miles going 30 (I didn't get back on freeway) and it happened again! once again I stopped car and restarted with same results. I had already contacted dealer since it happened to me once before but at night in a back country road. They informed me they could do a diagnostics test for a fee. (they have done this test before but for 2 other problems with vehicle the key light came on the dash for no apparent reason and the rear camera screen kept going black) I remember then they couldn't do anything for me since they were unable to replicate the problem. I am so glad my little ones were not in the car when this has happened. I don't feel safe driving this car anymore its unbelievable that with all of these complaints nothing has been done to remedy situation.

While traveling down a country road I stopped to make a right turn, as soon as I made the right turn the steering light came on and my steering wheel stiffened up tot he point where I could not turn properly. As soon as I tried turning in either direction the steering wheel would feel like it wanted to turn the opposite direction. Was able to safely drive to a gas station and turned off car. Once it was shut down we checked the power steering fluid and it was full. Checked for any leaks could not find any. Left vehicle turned off for at least 10 minutes then restarted. The light did not stay on and the steering wheel became manageable. Will contact dealer to see if there is anything they can do. I doubt it though, not unless they can replicate the incident themselves.

When driving the 2013 Honda Accord this morning at 60 mph for several miles, the power steering problem light lit on the dash and immediately lost all power to turn the steering. After another mile or so, and barely being able to turn the vehicle, the car was turned off and then back on. This must have reset the component as the light was off and steering was back to normal. Fortunately, the car was not in a turn when this occurred as it may have caused a serious accident. 2 hours later, I was at the dealer and was advised that they would change out the rack for $1700. This part has a 3 year / 36K warranty. My car is 2 years old but with 58K miles (highway). A rack should last far longer than 2 years, plus with the new technology, Honda should be willing to fix it to learn to keep it from happening on future models.

While driving the car suddenly loses power steering. Once the car is turned off and back on the problem normally resloves. There was one instance that took turning the car off several times to get it to reset. I have had this problem occur atleast 6 -8 times over the past month. When I called the Honda dealership they said they had never heard of this problem occuring. I have scheudled an appointment for them to take a look.

I was traveling on the interstate when a warning light came on stating that there was an issue with my power steering. The vehicle became very hard to steer. Luckily, I wasn't far from the nearest dealer and pulled into have it checked out. I turned my car off while waiting for a technician. When the technician started the car the warning light was off and the power steering was working. They still took the care back to check it out, but said they could not find anything. They said that if it happened again I may need to replace the torque sensor(dtc 53-01), which would cost $674.88.

- East Brunswick, NJ, USA

The vehicle has an electronic power steering problem. The car was being driven and the car eps light came on while I was driving at about 30 mph and coming of the highway ramp. I lost control of all steering and almost caused an accident. This car cannot be considered safe at all. I was not able to drive my car afterwards and was forced too without power steering because I have to drive to work. If this is not a safety hazard I dont know what would be considered then.

As I was driving down the highway my eps failed causing me to be unable to steer my vehicle. I pulled over to the side of the highway, turned the car off and back on, the eps system reset itself. This has happened 10-15 times. I have taken it to the dealership and they have had my car 2 weeks now trying to figure it out. So far, no luck!

I started my engine and was backing up my car, when I noticed I couldn't turn the steering wheel. I stopped the engine and restarted the car as indicated in the manual. The steering wheel was almost impossible to turn. The car was towed to the Honda dealership and they gave me a bill of $1800 to work on the power steering to torque sensor" and the pins and rack? I'm terrified that this will occur again, but when I am driving resulting in an accident. I am terrified that the replacement parts will fail. This is a 2013 Honda Accord coupe, I don't think the power steering should be failing in 2015. What will prevent the replacement parts from being just as faulty" I understand there is an investigation on this model, but Honda dealership seems to be sitting down until people are injured.

The steering wheel was unable to turn when backing up for parallel parking after a few times, when practicing right before my daughter's driving test. Then I tried myself a couple time without luck that I had to pull it off. I was unable to tell anything was wrong since there are no any error lights on the instrument panel. I was able to turn it while driving forward, though. After being parked in the parking lot for some time, it began to work ok again, and it did not fail my daughter's driving test - a good thing. It really raised a big concern for me that a hidden issue of the steering wheel failure exists with my car. I really need Honda to recall it and fix it before it is too late with horrible consequences. Your help with this is greatly appreciated.

I was driving S on I-55 a few miles N of West memphis. As I attempted to change lanes my steering wheel was very hard to turn. I looked all over the dash & found a small light shaped like a steering wheel on the far left of the dash. Fortunately I was near an exit and was able to get to a station. Turning in & parking was almost impossible. The owners manual said to turn car off and on. This corrected the problem and I drove the approximate 200 miles to my home. I planned to get it checked out at Honda. Two days later the keyless ignition failed about ten times before finally starting. The dome lights had come on but no dash lights came on & it just beeped at me. Previously I had a low battery (listened to music too long) which failed to start but even then the dash lights lit up & flashed. It seemed like both incidents indicated an electrical or ECU problem. I drove to the dealership and reported the problem. I was told they would have to recreate the incidents. They have had my car 3 1/2 days with no word. I finally called today. Was told they couldn't recreate it so couldn't do anything! I told them I didn't feel safe driving the car. I pointed out the number of complaints listed on the arfc.com site. The service manager talked to Honda engineers who continued to contend it had to be duplicated in the computer to solve it. I stressed the safety issue and that I would not feel safe driving the car again without solving this. They are going to do more testing. An hour earlier in my trip I was on a very curvy hilly 2 lane road. I feel if this had occurred there I could easily have had a terrible accident - while I had 2 grandchildren in the back seat! there are a number of incidents like this reported. Why has something not been done?! my car has 36,500 miles and fortunately I purchased an extended warranty! I just hope we can agree on a solution.
