The "Check Power Steering" light came on suddenly one day. When I shut the car off and restarted, the light went off and the steering was fine. A few days later I took a trip to a corner store. The steering was fine on the way but on the way back the light came on again while I was pulling out of the store. The wheel was very stiff and difficult to turn but I managed to pull over on the side of the road. After several restarts on the side of the road, the steering came back again and I drove home. However, a few days later, it went out again suddenly while I was driving and did not come back since. I took it to Honda and they said the rack needed to be replaced at a cost of $3300 CAD.
This is not something that should fail out of nowhere, especially on a vehicle with only 23000 km. If I had lost steering while on the highway or in heavy traffic this could cause a serious accident. This is all over the web as an issue with these vehicles and needs to be recalled immediately as it is obviously an inherent flaw in the vehicle that is not only dangerous but very expensive to fix.
