2013 Honda Accord Deadly Electronic Power Steering Failure. The 2013-2015 Honda Accord is being investigated after 107 reports of loss of steering control during driving under normal conditions. The 2013 Honda Accord has accrued over 1,000 complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Of these complaints, over half involve issues with the 2013 Accord’s electric power steering and other electrical components/systems.
Owners documented a variety of conditions occurring, namely unexpected veering of their vehicle while driving and difficulty steering (either steering feeling too firm or too loose). These conditions were reported to occur with and without the electric power steering warning light being illuminated.
The NHTSA closed the investigation after finding early-life failures due to early production issues have already failed, with a declining overall failure rate. Unfortunately, no recalls have been issued by Honda as a result.

I had this issue on a 2013 honda pilot total loss of control, for no reason, I was probably at 30mph joining the highway. Thanks for putting this up I have been searching all over youtube of people who went through it.

I am definitely dealing with this problem now. Sometimes the steering wheel will not un-lock after starting the engine and once the power steering was very jerky and failed to operate smoothly in either direction, often getting stuck in a single direction.

I think it is definitely a defect with the manufacturing and Honda should recall all the EPSs from 2013-2015.

My 2014 Honda Accord V6 (original Owner, 57K miles) veered hard right, then hard left on its own accord, causing me to sideswipe a guardrail at 70 MPH. Honda stonewalled me, but the NTSA intervened and at least Honda replaced the steering components on their dime. I am lucky to escape unhurt from this. I agree, that Honda needs an immediate recall.

Oh no!😳😳😳 Share this video please! I won't even let me son drive my car unless the power steering is turned off. This is extremely dangerous! What if that had been a curb and you hit a pedestrian??? So sorry that happened to you. Even though it took a week or so to get used to I think it's much safer to pull the fuse for the power steering. Good luck to ya and thanks for leaving a comment. Hope others will see what you said.

@@ProducedbyGuardian95 -- Are you suggesting pull the fuse for power steering so that one can drive car normally? Is that the solution? Im stuck with my car at a store its been 2 days steering got stiff I pulled over. Turned car off, then it wouldnt start. I left the car for 2 days came back today car turned on and steering wheel moved .. but right before i drove away steering returned back to stiff and now car wont start. Honda was great until this. I recommend anyone buying a 2016 accord and up … definitely not this model 2013.

Wait, looks you have a manual too! Nice! #savethemanuals I had this issue happen on my 2014 Honda Accord LX manual sedan. I think this was sometime roughly during the summer of 2021. I had gotten the car during the beginning of 2017, with only 32k miles, but had only replaced the starter motor around 43k miles or so, and nothing else major, besides the alternator and belt tensioner, both around 82k miles. Anyhow, I was driving home from a long 2-hr commute, and went to take a right turn at around 15 mph. As I was mid turn and braking to slow down (had also just downshifted into 2nd, for you manual folks out there), the steering suddenly locked up where it was for a full second and I slammed on my brakes. Right after that, everything shut off and came back on immediately like normal, but some dash cluster lights stayed on for a split second, not even long enough for me to take a video or photos. Anyhow, I researched the issue and was surprised that it wasn’t deemed as a national recall issue. I also found the official Honda TSB, but supposedly after a Honda tech verified whether or not my car was in that VIN range, they refused to continue with the TSB that I, myself, had provided. I’m not even sure what they did at that multi-point diagnostic that they do at their “stealership”, but I’m damn sure they were too lazy and incompetent to take my issue seriously. They did tell me that my “computer” didn’t record any sort of electric power steering (EPS) malfunction, nor did anything else abnormal come up. I myself thought that it might have been an electric issue, being that the power steering itself is mainly powered through electricity. I did not remove the fuse, but had it ever happened a 2nd time, idk if I would ever survive that in a MORE dangerous situation. I ended up trading in the car at around 87k miles, but no one seemed to care about the issue. These manual models are highly sought after, so my car was bought literally 3-4 days after it was set out on a dealership lot I had traded it into. I sure hope that girl that bought my old care doesn’t run into issues, or God forbid, get injured or worse from that issue….. Also, I have a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L V6 (navi) manual coupe, I had gotten the summer of 2022 with about 90k miles. I haven’t had any issues with that at all, and I’m currently at 117k miles. I also don’t tend to do any serious electric modifications (big sound systems, etc.).

@ProducedbyGuardian95 Жыл бұрын

That's pretty amazing. It's very sad that Honda has not issued a recall or the NTSB hasn't done anything about it. My car is a lot safer to drive without the power steering, so even though it's a little inconvenient I'd rather work a little harder to turn my steering wheel than to have it spin out of control. Thanks for you comment! I hope others will read it also.

Supposedly, my local dealership did a “multi-point” inspection, as per their routine, and couldn’t find a damn thing. I didn’t even disconnect the battery up until I took it in. Although, I do recall the car restarting itself or whatever, real quickly when the EPS (electric power steering) locked itself up for a whole second and then came back on, with a bunch of dashboard warning lights for another split second. It was so fast, that all I did was panic and brake around ~15-20 mph (thank God) in my rural neighborhood. Yes, there was a car in front of me in the angle it locked up in. I am fortunate enough that it still had brake hydraulics, bc I am not sure if the whole car had turned off and restarted itself in that split second or not. Regardless, Honda didn’t take the TSB seriously at all and refused to do anything. And also, it was ME, myself, who brought up the official Honda TSB. They checked my VIN on my 2014 LX manual sedan, but said that it wasn’t in their affected range; which I’m sure is most likely going to increase as all the cars continue to go into the moderately “high” mileage range (75k+).
