Consumer Description

HTTP://FORUMS.EDMUNDS.COM/DISCUSSION/COMMENT/3559372 MY CAR WOULD NOT START TODAY AND EPS LIGHT DISPLAYS. UPON RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT 2007-2010 MODELS HAVE NO RECALL BUT LINK ABOVE DEALS WITH SOMEONE WITH A BRAND NEW 2012 FIT THAT HAD A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN THEIR CAR WAS 2 MONTHS OLD. MINE IS OBVIOUSLY OLDER NOW, BUT NOTE THAT IT HAS LESS THAN 24K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF THERE ARE MORE SUCH ISSUES OUT THERE THAT I DO NOT KNOW OF, SINCE LOSS OF POWER STEERING CAN BE A BIG PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THE OLDER MODELS WERE NOT RECALLED, BUT HONDA SUPPOSEDLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THAT PART UP TO 150K MILES. NO SUCH ACCOMMODATION HAS BEEN MADE FOR MY 2012, BUT I FIND IT QUESTIONABLE THAT THE POWER STEERING IS AN ISSUE FOR ME AT UNDER 24K MILES AS IT HAS BEEN FOR THE OTHER PERSON. I WILL HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP TOMORROW.
