The 2024 Honda Accord, a vehicle long celebrated for its reliability and performance, has left many owners steering into frustration. Reports of recurring and dangerous steering problems have flooded forums, complaint sites, and government databases. From sticky steering wheels to alignment issues and faulty sensors, the Accord's steering woes are raising safety concerns among owners.
Common Steering Issues in the 2024 Honda Accord
Owners have documented a variety of troubling steering problems:
- Sticky Steering: Many drivers report that their steering wheel resists movement, particularly during long drives or at higher speeds, making small adjustments difficult and unsafe.
- Pulling to One Side: Alignment issues persist even after multiple repairs. As Tyler B. from Catlin, US, shared: “It just pulled very slightly... the dealership realigned it several times, but the issue kept coming back. Eventually, we had to trade it in.”
- Steering Lockups: Some have experienced their steering wheel locking completely, rendering the vehicle undrivable. Jimbo 2, an owner, described his harrowing experience: “The steering wheel was locked dead-center. Had to get it towed. Right now I have a safety concern—what if this happens at 65 mph on the interstate?”
What's Causing the Problems?
The primary culprit appears to be defective components in the steering system. Some owners reference the steering gearbox (wormwheel) as the source of the issue. This part has been a known problem in other Honda models, like the Civic, and appears to have carried over to the 2024 Accord. Faulty calibration of sensors, alignment failures, and integration issues with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have also been cited as contributing factors.
One NHTSA complaint summarized the danger clearly: “The steering is stiff and pulls to the left... I have nearly lost control of the vehicle on two occasions.” Another owner added: “Every time I park and rotate the steering wheel, it makes a squeaky sound. It's exhausting to deal with this on a new car.”
