POWER STEERING RACK IS LEAKING. NEED TO REPLACE POWER STEERING RACK. THIS IS MY SECOND REPAIR. I CURRENTLY HAVE 55,000 MILES ON WHAT WAS A BRAND-NEW 2012 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. POWER STEERING RACK IS LEAKING. NEED TO REPLACE POWER STEERING RACK. THIS IS MY SECOND REPAIR. I CURRENTLY HAVE 55,000 MILES ON WHAT WAS A BRAND-NEW 2012 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM 10 MONTHS AGO AND HAD IT REPAIRED. THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE IT IS A VERY SLOW LEAK I AM ESTIMATING THE PROBLEM EXISTED WELL BEFORE I DISCOVERED IT. I AM CONFIDENT I GOT A BAD POWER STEERING RACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. HEY EXPERIENCED WHINING SOUNDS GOING AROUND TURNS ESPECIALLY ROUNDABOUTS. I'M CONVINCED THIS IS A FAULTY PARTS BECAUSE HONDA POWER STEERING RACK STEVE NOT GO BAD AT 45 TO 50,000 MILES. HONDAS CORPORATE CUSTOMER RESPONSE ABOUT THE SITUATION HAS BEEN LACKLUSTER TO SAY THE LEAST. DEALER IS BETTER TO DEAL WITH. THIS IS THE FIFTH HONDA I HAVE OWNED OR DRIVEN VIA A FAMILY MEMBER. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM THIS IS A MANUFACTURING SAFETY PROBLEM.

AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE FLAT SPOTS ON THE TIRE. IT WAS WORKED UPON FOR WHEEL BALANCING. HOWEVER THE VIBRATION EXISTS. IS SUCH A VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A CHILD? HOW SAFE IS THE VEHICLE SITUATION? DOES HONDA AMERICAN KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM? I DID SOME SEARCH AND READING ON THE INTERNET FOR THE DEFINED PROBLEM, MODEL YEAR AND COMPONENTS. IT IS NOTED THAT THERE ARE OTHERS AS WELL WITH SAME ISSUE WHICH HAS RESULTED INTO UNCOMFORTABLE AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DRIVING CONDITIONS. I DON'T THINK DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. *TR

I NOTICED MY STEERING WAS GETTING HARD TO TURN. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS LOW. I ADDED FLUID. AS TIME CONTINUED THE STEERING PROBLEM GOT WORST. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WAS GOOD, BUT I HAD TO USE MANUAL POWER WHILE GETTING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, OR WHEN HAVING TO TURN WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED.I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND HE TOLD ME I ADDED TOO MUCH FLUID AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY AFTER A WHILE. IT GOT WORST AND I TOOK IT BACK AFTER A FEW MONTHS. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THE FLUID WENT DOWN TO THE CV BOOT AND THE STEERING RACK; THE QUOTED COST FOR REPAIR WAS $1350.00. BY THIS TIME MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER ASKING THE NEW DEALERSHIP FOR COST RELIEF FROM HONDA, THEY REDUCED THE COST TO $500, AND I FINALLY GOT THE STEERING PROBLEM REPAIRED ON 08/11/14. *TR
