Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOME AROUND A 30 MILE AN HOUR GRADUAL BEND. I SUDDENLY HAD NO POWER STEERING LOSING CONTROL MOMENTARILY ,I SLOWED DOWN IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE JUST MISSING GOING INTO THE WOODS AND ALMOST CREATING AN ACCIDENT BEHIND ME. THE CHECK POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE INFORMATION BOARD .THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE .MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER DRIVE THE CAR OFTEN AND I'M NOT TOO SURE THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN AS GOOD AS MINE AND THIS TRULY SCARES ME.THIS IS MY 6TH HONDA ,I PURCHASE ALL MY CAR IS NEW, AND I'VE NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE!
