I have a 2006 Accord SE 4-cyl that I am starting to have a problem with the power steering. It mainly occurs when turning left for some reason. The wheel tightens and the car doesn't want to turn, almost like the car temporarily has lost it's power steering. Anybody else having a problem like this?

 

Check your ps fluid for foaming(air leak in the suction hose)Or loose of fluid(rack seals leaking,leaking hoses or pump).Seized tire rods,bent rack,internal failure of the rack or a seized strut bearing+any bent suspension component can have affects on the steering.

You have an 06 it should be covered under factory warranty unless you did the damage,hit a curb,pothole,parking block.

 

take it to the dealer. your under warranty let them deal with it

 

it could be anything from the steering belt to the torsion bar.

You're still covered under the factory's bumper to bumper, take it back.

 

Just an update...finally took it to the dealer. It was the steering rack. They are replacing it now, under warranty of course. I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue, but I guess it was a one off problem.
