Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING CUTS OUT INTERMITTENTLY FOR SECONDS AT A TIME BEFORE COMING BACK ON WHILE DRIVING. NO SPECIFIC MIX OF SPEED OR TEMP SEEMS TO CAUSE IT, IT IS RANDOM. THE RADIO CUTS OUT EACH TIME AS WELL. I'M TOLD THIS IS A FAULTY EPS UNIT OR SENSOR AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA FITS. WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT IT HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE BUT I'VE HEARD STORIES OF PEOPLES STEERING WHEELS LOCKING IN A TURNED POSITION AND THIS COULD OBVIOUSLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
