Recent reports

“The vehicle wanders down the road side to side. It’s constantly wandering you have to keep correcting it. It also feels like the steering has a gap in it when you go to correct it. It has been at Honda several times. We were told the last time it may need an alignment so Honda did an alignment and it just made it worse. Vehicle has 11000 miles or so.”

“I am experiencing a knocking/creaking noise at low speeds and when stopped while turning the steering wheel. This seems to be a known and commonly reported issue, though Honda has not formally acknowledged it. I am concerned about the potential long-term impact if the issue is left unaddressed and American Honda declines to authorize a steering rack replacement.”

“While driving in Adaptive Cruise Control, a vehicle in the other lane was slowing down and turning right, but my car started applying the brakes for no reason. This has caused panic for me, since it was a 45 mph zone, and it was OK.”
