Your clock spring has gone bad and will need to be replaced. That is the part that transfers all of the inputs from the buttons on the steering wheel to the designated systems.

Noise coming from the steering wheel area.

Honda Accord 2024 Steering wheel 14000 miles
I own a 2024 Honda Accord (Petrol) that I purchased about one and a half years ago. For approximately the past year, I have been experiencing an unusual noise coming from the steering wheel area.
Whenever I turn or slightly move the steering wheel, I hear a loose rattling sound, as if a small component is moving or shaking inside the steering column. The noise resembles something loose inside the steering assembly.
The issue is noticeable even during light steering movements and is not related to road conditions. It appears to originate from inside the steering wheel or steering column itself.

Sounds like you either have a faulty steering column or some parts came loose after installation, if you still have warranty on your vehicle I would take it back to the dealership for repair.

Steering wheel functions

Honda Accord 2004 Coupe 3.0 V6 235000 miles
When I got the car none of the buttons or horn would work. I replaced the clockspring and that fixed everything for about two months. After that the horn and cruise control stopped working and the airbag light turned on. All buttons work for radio and even cruise control, it just won’t engage. All fuses seem good too. Would I have to replace the airbag?

You won't have to replace the airbag. The light is just to let you know something is wrong. You would have to replace the clock spring again, or you may have a electrical gremlin that's causing it.

I know the wheel speed sensors can cause this same issue, along with if the windshield is cracked at the top but I believe i have narrowed mine down to. Maybe being the ABS module

I've had my car for about two years now and about a month into me owning the vehicle i was driving around town and the steering wheel locked up and the eps light came on for about 5 seconds and then cleared. I took it to the honda dealership where i purchased the car and their service department could not find anything wrong. I havnt had any problems up until last week. I was driving home on the freeway doing about 55 mph and all of a sudden the steering wheel locks up and the eps light comes on.

Having similar issues, took the car back to the dealership and the service department has no idea of what to fix. Only told it could be one of two different fixes one is $1100 the other is$3300 or it could be both. Told I should drive the car till the problem doesn't rectify itself. So they would no what to fix. Serious safety issues with this advice. Looking for second opinion.

Honda Accord 2014 LX Sedan 2.4L CVT 7000 miles
This is the fourth time that i have brought my vehicle to the dealer to be inspected. I finally got my car inspected a third time after contacting honda corporate. The steering wheel had to be reset. However, the vehicle still does not drive straight. After an alignment and the steering wheel reset, the vehicle still pulls to the right. I have contacted honda corporate and they are really useless. Their motto "helpful honda" is the biggest load hot air ever. They are having someone from honda corporate come to inspect the car now. But they refuse to work with me to take the car back, even thou… Read complete

Try looking at the tires make sure they do not have bumps or flat spots because this can cause the car to pull.

Excessive road noise

Honda Accord 2010 Sedan EX-L 160288 miles
Hey guys can someone help shed some light on my situation. When driving fast, slow, or even normal speed it sounds like my engine is in the passenger seat. When I first got the car last year I though it was because it was a v6 and it was just louder. Not the case then I though maybe it was a tires that were installed but a year later with the same tires and still has loud road noise in the cabin. I’ve done research and I’ve read it could be a number of things. But before I start buying parts I don’t need and waist time and money can someone tell me what to do if you know what I’m talking about… Read complete

Problems after transmission replacement

Honda Accord 2001  200000 miles
OK so I'm working on a 2001 honda accord v6 4spd automatic. The owner bought a used transmission, I assumed it was rebuilt now I'm thinking maybe it's junk. The install went well no issues at all, started right up idle is perfect, I let it warm to operating temp tried to throttle up and hold rpm at 3000 but as soon as I touched the peddle idle surges up and down making it impossible to hold the rmp also if I touched the steering wheel at all it would die right away after way too many tries checked all connections and vacuum lines oh yeah no codes either. Then I went through all the gears make… Read complete

Problem 2014 Honda Accord

Honda Accord 2014
To: nthsa i had purchased a brand new honda accord in march 2014 and soon after i noticed a rattling noise in the steering wheel. I took it for repair to the dealership and they took me on a test drive to hear the noise and they attempted to fix it without success. The rattling noise is not always present and it comes unpredictably therefore every time i go to the dealership they want me to drive it and replicate the noise which is sometimes not possible. I have recordings of the noise and they would not accept that to fix the car. A representative from honda corporate office had personally… Read complete

Problems 2013 Accord LX

It so far has happened to me twice that i need to jump-start the car. There probably has some electrical leakage issues or something related to it. The first time it was more than a year ago that when i came earlier to a doctor appointment waiting for the clinic to open, i turned off the car and left the cd player on. But it only played for about half an hour or so it turned off automatically due to the battery power has already been depleted and the card could not start at all that i had to call aaa after the doctor appointment to jump-start for me.

While turning left after the stop light displayed green, the steering wheel got locked and became very difficult to turn. I ended up hitting the curb on the right side. I turned the ignition off and restarted the engine. Only then was i able to rotate the steering wheel. Fortunately it was a mid-day and there was no car behind. Two days later, again while returning home from work which is about a mile away, again the steering wheel got locked when departing from the intersection. This time i was going straight, but the steering wheel got locked and was very hard to move. I had to make a right… Read complete

While endeavoring to make a slow speed maneuver, the steering wheel was not responsive by power assistance. It eventually came back to normal. Concerned i took the car to a mechanic who suggested replacing the power steering pump. Replaced the power steering pump with a honda remanufactured and flushed system with genuine honda power steering fluid. Never was anything found in the fluid that would contaminate the fluid or cause system blockage. Problem seemed corrected for several days. It resumed again. Went back to my honda dealer. At the honda dealer it was suggested that i needed to repl… Read complete

The car has lost power steering on three occasions over the past one and one half weeks.
