Consumer Description

EPS FAILURE: LAST MONTH, AFTER A GAS STATION STOP; I STARTED THE CAR, TO SEE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) INDICATOR LIT. FINDING THE POWER STEERING NOT WORKING, I CHECKED THE MANUAL. TURNING THE CAR OFF & ON AS RECOMMENDED RESET THE INDICATOR AND UNLOCKED THE POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. LAST WEEK THE PROBLEM HAPPENED THREE TIMES, AND PERSISTED UNTIL I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE. I'M WORRIED ABOUT FAILURE IN TRAFFIC, DURING A TURN, ETC. READING ONLINE, I FOUND MANY DRIVERS REPORTING THIS TROUBLE WITH BOTH OLDER AND NEWER FITS, LOW AND HIGH MILEAGE; SOMETIMES HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING. THE TROUBLE CAN OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE ISSUE IS DETAILED IN HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 09-043, JULY 7, 2009.
