Consumer Description

I WAS IN IDLE WHEN THE RADIO FLASHED OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. IT TURNED BACK OFF, BUT THE CAR JEARKED AND SEEMED TO LOSE POWER. IT ONLY DID THIS IN IDLE FOR WHILE, BUT ONE TIME WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL JEARKED FROM HAND AND MY CAR LUNGED AT THE SIDEWALK WHERE PEOPLE WERE! SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! I HAVE TOLD HONDA ABOUT THIS. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS AS WELL. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/ZKXIEC-EMVC
