This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The power steering has been intermittently going out on random occasions for up to 20 seconds at a time. This happened several times while driving on the freeway and in the middle of turns. I can handle power steering going out, but if it happens to happen at the wrong time, that is a major safety issue. I have taken it to two different mechanics and neither have been able to figure out what is wrong.
While driving the power steering suddenly became tight to turn, and the eps indicator light came on. The engine had to be turned off, and when restarted the steering got back to normal again, and the eps indicator light was off. However, it happened again several times, sometimes back-to-back during the same drive. It happened at least 20~25 times in the past couple of years; and finally I took it to the Honda service shop for repair recently.
