The steering rack (rack and pinion steering) assembly broke on my vehicle. The steel bar used to make this part should not be able to be broken let alone in the manner that it did.

Engine rpms go up when stopped or barely moving if steering wheel is moved. Has gotten worse and it now has 5200 miles. No luck with dealership. Say it normal for the rpms to go up if you move steering wheel. Supposed to call factory and call me no phone call yet. *tr

Knocking noise at low speed 5 to 10 mph. Appears to be in steering rack. Thought perhaps brakes but we have eliminated those.

Dealer says there is no problem but steering is not safe with this being felt. Car has 5000 miles on odometer and is 4 months old. It just started 1 day at…

I did not have an accident but when i went to purchase 4-cylinder 2010 honda accord i notice that steering system was completely unacceptable and unsafe. I used to be a steering engineer hence know the system expectations. I did not buy the vehicle. Steering does not return to center. I drove my friends car and it has the same issue. Someone can get really hurt. This is typically a safety to fuel economy tradeoff…
