2024 Honda Accord Suspension Problems

The vehicle repeatedly has creaking, sticky steering/issues with steering, and clunking sounds when driving. Sound is more prominent at low speeds and when cornering. The vehicle's steering rack has already been replaced twice within 3 years. The vehicle is model year 2024, and to have an unrepaired defect like this is ridiculous. This is a major safety issue for vehicle operation, and it appears that replacement parts carry the same design defect. The problem (defective steering rack due to worm gear swelling) has already been identified and reproduced by two different Honda dealers. There are no warning lamps, messages, or codes thrown by the vehicle. The symptoms include the obvious noises and the abnormal steering feel.

On 11/19/2025, while operating my 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid, I experienced a sudden and total loss of power while the vehicle was in motion. Despite pressing the accelerator, the vehicle failed to respond. I noticed the 'READY' indicator disappeared on the dashboard, signifying a powertrain system shutdown. This caused me to lose control of the vehicle's speed and positioning, resulting in a collision. I believe this incident is a direct result of the defective Integrated Control Module (ICM) software identified in NHTSA Recall 25V-785 (Manufacturer Recall TN2), which causes the CPU to reset and cut drive power during operation.

Steering rack is starting to creak non stop, it began around 4k miles, the car currently has 5,350 miles. Brought car to Lia Honda, Northampton, Ma. They tightened up all front suspension bolts but this did nothing and told me "drive the car more to see if the noise goes away" However after spending 5 mins researching on the internet I came across a plethora of 11th gen accord owners complaining about this specific noise and even multiple video recordings of it. From what I gather there is a defective worm gear and spring tension or something along these lines with numerous owners having their entire steering rack replaced under warranty. However many of those who's steering rack was replaced began to hear this ever present, constant creaking noise all the time and I do mean all of the time. a Perplexity AI, Chatgpt, or Google AI leads to an alarming amount of owners having to deal with this issue. So currently my purchased brand new in may of 2024 honda accord with 5.3K odd miles on it is creaking non stop at all times other than driving straight on the highway. It is incredible to me at least that honda has not issued a recall as they did with the civics and crvs with essentially the same problem. Thank you for your time.

Car swerved to the left unexpectedly causing it to do a 180 degree turn and impact the drivers side. Side airbags deployed and emergency response was initiated. Prior to the swerve in question, the car had experienced about 6 smaller swerves that we attributed initially to a wind gust. All of the swerves felt like a strong wind was hitting the drivers side rear quarter area. The Estimate of repair for the insurance company indicates damage to Left Lower Control Arm, Left Trailing Arm, and Left Upper Control Arm.

Hi, I think that this vehicle is major safety issue for both me and others, since bought new it tends to pull to the right , hard to steer or keep it in lane straight without wondering away! Pre mature Tire wear and tear vehicle inspected by different Honda dealerships multiple times with multiple alignments correction done and parts replaced under warranty to it with no remedy or resolution, filed case with Honda manufacture with no resolution as well! I took today for second opinion at Firestone I was told that vehicle can’t be aligned! due to right wheel caster is advanced or off by 0.6 inch which points to: 1 suspension issue ( got inspected multiple times) 2 subframe problems or frame damage due to manufacturing problems or geometry ratios defect I really don’t know what to do! Filled complain with you guys earlier …never heard back attached is Repair inspection from today and multiple alignments attempted by dealership on 10/2 10/29 and last 11/9 Parts was replaced at dealer 1 Rack and pinion component. 2 steering cable reel.

I purchased this vehicle in January 2014 and it’s been giving problems since then. I have replaced the gas cap twice because it always gets stuck and I’m unable to open the door. I spoke to the Honda dealer where I purchased and they told me to contact American Honda. I have replaced my tires twice because once it blew on the freeway and the other time on the street out of nowhere. I’m currently at the dealer because the TPMS light came on yesterday and I’m afraid to drive the car with my small children and the Service Director told me there’s no staff to assist me and I might have to wait over 3 hours to take a look at my car. He said the recall for the steering wheel is not a safety issue. Every time I park and rotate the steering wheel it makes a squeaky sound and I’m tired of dealing with issues on a vehicle that I leased less than a year ago. Please help, I use my car to drive my kids to school.

It seems like the steering gear assembly is making a popping/clicking noise when stopped or at slow speeds. This has been diagnosed by an independent shop and inspected by a Honda Master Technician and confirmed that the steering gear assembly has an internal issue. It was informed to me to have the car immediately serviced at the dealership due to a MAJOR safety concern to myself and others on the road as if the steering gear were to malfunction it could cause a crash. There are no warning lamps or any messages on the dashboard that has popped up. And there has been no other symptoms leading up to this issue. The vehicle is also available for inspection upon any request. No insurance representatives, police have inspected the vehicle
