• Loss of direction control investigation # EA21001

  The office of defects investigation (odi) received a petition dated october 19, 2020 requesting an investigation of an alleged defect in the steering system in model year (my) 2013 honda accord vehicles. The petitioner alleges that my2013 honda accord vehicles are experiencing a sudden loss of steering control as the vehicle veers from its intended path of travel. The petitioner further alleges that this deviation from the intended path of travel occurs without warning or driver input while operating the vehicle under normal driving conditions. The petition itself can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11349961.On november 23, 2020 odi opened a defect petition (dp20-005) to evaluate whether to grant or deny the petition. Odi sent two information request (ir) letters to honda requesting information on steering anomalies in my2013 honda accord vehicles and later in my2014-2015 honda accord vehicles. Odi performed extensive analysis on the information obtained from honda as well as information in nhtsas databases.Based on odis review of the applicable materials, including responses to ir letters sent to honda, vehicle owner questionnaires (voq) and early warning reporting data, nhtsa has decided to grant the petition. Odi will open an engineering analysis (ea) to assess the scope, frequency and potential safety related consequences of the alleged defect, a sudden loss of steering control.The odi complaints cited above can be viewed at www.Nhtsa.Gov under the following odi identification numbers:11414105, 11406220, 11398736, 11387462 ,11387075, 11387049, 11375580, 11364698 ,11361125, 11351660, 11349961, 11327909, 11327170, 11324181, 11306112, 11301957, 11289067, 11282525, 11278511, 11277659, 11258017, 11256914, 11218752, 11208077, 11196050, 11194358, 11189901, 11165075, 11163481, 11156378, 11154891, 11131050

• Air bag acu electrical overstress investigation # EA19001

  The office of defects investigation (odi) is expanding the investigation to include the equipment supplier and vehicle manufacturers (oems) using this unit.The investigation focuses on acus manufactured by trw, now zf-trw (zf) , the tier-one supplier to hyundai and kia and the other affected oems.The acu senses a vehicle crash to determine whether air bag deployment is required, and if so, deploys the appropriate air bags and other supplemental restraints.Zf supplied subject acus to six oems: fca, honda, hyundai, kia, mitsubishi and toyota.Internal to the acu is an electronic component (an application specific integrated circuit, or asic) that monitors signals from crash sensors.A failure of the asic may prevent deployment of the required air bags and devices, or may otherwise affect the proper operation of the acu.The acu is located in the passenger compartment, and electrical wiring connects the asic to sensors located at the front of the vehicle.Odi’s current understanding is that a crash event may, in and of itself, produce harmful signals on the sensor wiring capable of damaging the asic, although the probability of this occurring appears to be low.While the acu incorporates electrical circuitry intended to protect the asic from harmful signals, the level and effectiveness of the protective circuitry varies by oem customer.During pe18-003, hyundai and kia filed recalls (18v-137 and 18v-363 respectively) to address a defect that could result in acu disablement and non-deployments.According to the filings, the disablement occurs in certain types of frontal crash events.Both filings discussed a condition known as electrical overstress (eos) that affected the subject asic and was likely caused by electrical signals that entered the acu via sensor wiring.The recalled vehicles used acus that had the lowest levels of asic protection while non-recalled hyundai and kia products using subject acus had higher levels of protection.Odi has not identified any eos failures in the non-recalled kia and hyundai populations.In september 2016, fca filed recall 16v-668 for certain model year (my) 2010 to 2014 chrysler, dodge and jeep products also manufactured with the subject acu.In that filing, fca also discussed an eos condition that resulted in a failure of the subject asic, which caused air bag non-deployment. Fca noted that the defect condition had only been observed in vehicles equipped with sensor harnessing routed across the front of the vehicle.Other fca vehicles that also used the subject acu, but not the cross-car harnessing, had not experienced eos failures, despite similar time in service. The recalled fca vehicles used a mid-level form of asic protection.Other fca vehicles that did not use cross car wiring, or used higher levels of asic protection, have not been recalled.Odi has not identified any eos failures in the non-recalled fca population.Recently, odi has identified two substantial frontal crash events (one fatal) involving toyota products where eos is suspected as the likely cause of the non-deployments.The crashes involved a my 2018 and a my 2019 corolla equipped with the subject acu that incorporated higher levels of asic protection.Additionally, both acus were found to be non-communicative (meaning the acu could not be read with an event data recorder) after the crash, a condition found in other cases where eos occurred with other oems.No other eos events have been identified for other toyota products (including corolla models that used the subject acu since my 2011), or for the honda and mitsubishi vehicles that use the subject acu.Odi plans to evaluate the susceptibility of the subject acu designs to electrical signals, as well as other vehicle factors that can either lead to, or reduce the likelihood of, an eos event.Additionally, odi will evaluate whether an unreasonable risk exists that requires further field action.

The backup camera display intermittently goes to all black except for the yellow guidance lines that normally overlay the image. The passenger-side camera continues to work normally as do all the other dash displays. This has been happening for a several months. It seems to be happening more frequently now. These are the same symptoms as what triggered the accord 2018 recall to fix buggy camera software. Without the backup camera display it is difficult to determine how far you are away from objects behind you and lower height objects such as small children are completely out of sight. The rear cross traffic view is also unavailable. Yesterday my wife nearly backed up into a car behind her because the backup camera view was blacked out. The problem occurred twice today. Once while in our driveway and once while my wife was backing out of a parking space. The problem has not been reproduced as it is intermittent.

I pulled into store shut vehicle off and came out started it unable to turn steering wheel and warning light on. Can turn the vehicle wheel without extreme heavy force

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 mph, the steering wheel was difficult to turn. The power steering assist warning light was illuminated. In addition, the steering wheel ceased. The contact mentioned that after waiting for a few minutes the steering wheel functionality returned. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 84,900.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph, the steering wheel would drift to the left and it was difficult to maneuver the vehicle. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the steering wheel continued to spin. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the rack and pinion failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

Car steering pulled heavily left without any warning and nearly resulted in a head-on collision with oncoming traffic. The steering wheel also turns hard left with no assistance when the ignition is turned on. This is a very serious safety risk and in need of a recall so that honda can inspect and correct whatever engineering defect is causing this and to preemptively repair the problem before any injuries/fatalities occur

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and felt tight when turning in either direction. Also, while driving the vehicle would pull to the left. Later, after starting the vehicle the steering wheel erroneously turned 360 degree. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering rack and pinion were faulty, and the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.

The power steering just gave up while i was driving. It made my car shift to one side. It was shaking. I was able to safely bring the car to a complete stop. But i really scared me. I’m glad it was not worst. According to a mechanic is the steering wheel. But they said they are not sure why it happened. I’m reporting this because is very dangerous and could eventually be a fatality. I also notice that there are other people that have had the same problem. I need this to be recall. Is very dangerous.

Loss of steering control

Same problem described in this article: https://www.Consumerreports.Org/car-recalls-defects/honda-accords-under-investigation-for-steering-problems-a4542071576/. About two weeks ago it just started pulling dramatically to the right with no warning - no icons lit up on the dashboard. It is such an aggressive pull that i almost went into the highway median a handful of times. Once i turned the wheel a bit to the left it would lessen or stop only to reoccur a short time later. It is at my honda dealership now and the part is ordered and they said it's under warranty. Amazingly the head technicians didn't know anything about it. I had to google it to find out how big of an issue it is. Anyway, it is real and is a major issue.
