In owners' own words
Turning the wheel causes a popping and crackle type of noise. The sound is continuing to worsen and I can hear it from inside and outside of the car. Local Honda dealer told us there isnât a replacement part as of now and this is a factory defect that hasnât been recalled at the present time. I feel it could be a safety issue related to the ability to steer and control the car when it sticks or pulls Steering
Car since bought brand new had a pull to one side of the road with noises coming from steering components when operating or hitting any road bumps, which led to prematurely worn wheels and road noises( capping) dealer performed alignment and changed cable reel in steering column.., it got misaligned again 5 days later! And still going through the dark tunnel please help! Steering
Steering rack clunking on every turn of the wheel. Common problem being reported online, Honda does do replacements but often dealers will fight over the severity of the problem. A brand new vehicle should not have steering problems. Steering
