problem #5

Accord EX-L 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 96,750 miles

Main gasket on power steering pump leaked and since it is directly above the alternator, the oil leaked down into the alternator and caused that to fail. Had to replace the power steering pump and rebuild the alternator all for the sake of a stupid gasket.

I will take the car back to the dealer as it is under an extended warranty. I took it to one dealer and he said that they replaced it but the car still makes the same noise and now my steering wheel makes a clicking noise. The dealer that I bought the car from can keep the car until fixed.

They had already replaced the belt once and didn't notice it was the pump until I brought it back in 2 months later.

Honda or the distributor will not cover the Power steering Pump, that they replace which I clearly stated if Honda will not cover under warranty not to replace which they still did since the car sent to garage to check driver seat ...

problem #1

Jan 072011

Accord LX 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,800 miles

I could hardly turn steering wheel when backing up or pulling off, the car had to begin rolling before I could steer the car. I took the car into the dealership, and I was told the power steering unit or pump had failed, and they would replace it under warranty. My 2008 Honda Accord only had 15,800 miles when power steering pump failed.
