My power steering failed twice in one day. While trying to parallel park the engine was running and the power steering shut off and was very difficult to turn. This continued for about 10 minutes then it corrected itself. The same thing happened about 30 minutes later. Each time it was from a stationary position on a city street trying to parallel park. I am lucky that it didn't happen on the highway.

I am driving between 20-30 mph. The power steering light comes and immediately loses power steering. I am a big guy and I have to use a lot of strength to move to the side of the road. I shut off car for a few minutes and restart car. The problem went away. This happened 3X time in the last month

On July 2, 2015 while driving 40 mph, power steering failed and indicator light came on. Had car towed to dealer next day, software update done, and I was told the problem should not reoccur. On Oct 6, 2015, while turning into a parking lot, it failed again. Had car towed to dealer and told they will now replace gearbox. I asked what was causing this and how this fix will work and was told they don't know! they're following instructions from the manufacturer. This is very unsafe, and appears Honda does not truly know how to fix this.

I've had my car for about two years now and about a month into me owning the vehicle I was driving around town and the steering wheel locked up and the eps light came on for about 5 seconds and then cleared. I took it to the Honda dealership where I purchased the car and their service department could not find anything wrong. I havnt had any problems up until last week. I was driving home on the freeway doing about 55 mph and all of a sudden the steering wheel locks up and the eps light comes on. I had to muscle the car over a few lanes to get to the emergency lane to avoid hitting anyone. After a few seconds the eps light clears and the steering wheel function goes back to normal. Since this happened once before I figured it will be fine. I thought that until my steering wheel locked up on me again a few miles down the road. Then again as I am a few miles from home. I had to drive to school and from school the next day and only had access to my car and my power steering locked up about a dozen times. I don't feel safe driving my car and I'm setting up an appointment for later on this week to see what's going on.

During a trip to Virginia from fla. I stopped at rock hill carolins for gas. Upon leaving the station and before getting back on 95 North my power steering failed. I was able to pull over and restart the car resetting the steering. Approximately 40 miles later on 95 the steering failed a second time. I again made the next exit and was able to reset everything. I turned around and went home with no subsequent failures. The power steering electronic module was replaced by Honda approximately a year ago or less and this is a repeat of the symptoms at that time. This is a principal safety issue.

Power steering suddenly failed in the vehicle, making it impossible to steer.

While driving on I-95, I experienced a sudden loss of power steering. A caution light appeared on the instrument panel. I was within a few miles of a Honda dealership, so I drove there. After the car sat for a few minutes, the indicator light was no longer on; and, the power steering appeared to be normal. I was told the problem was transitory and I resumed traveling on I-95. Less than 20 miles later, the same problem happened again. I pulled to the side of the road, and once again shut the vehicle off for a few minutes. I then drove approximately 250 miles without incident. Later that same day, while driving on another highway at 60 mph, the power steering suddenly failed. At the same time, the caution indicator light appeared on the instrument panel. I made an appointment for two days later at another Honda dealership. On the day of the appointment, while driving in city traffic at 25 mph, the power steering failed three times before I arrived at the dealer. That day, the service department was unable to find the source of the problem. They cleared the fault indicator from the computer's memory; and, told me to return if the problem occurred again. Several days later, while traveling on an expressway at 55 mph, the power steering failed one more time, along with the indicator light again appearing on the instrument panel at the same time. The following day, I brought the vehicle back to the dealership. They informed me, that after talking with Honda advisors via telephone, Honda was aware of the problem; and, instructed them on a fix. After performing that fix, they said Honda informed them, that if the power steering didn't fail within 500 miles, it wouldn't recur in the lifetime of the car. After driving approximately 400 miles since the fix, the power steering again failed. The car is going back to Honda, again.

The car has lost power steering on three occasions over the past one and one half weeks. The first time, 8/19/2015, after waiting at a red light to make a left turn, I could barely turn the steering wheel to make the turn. I forced the turn and could smell a burning smell. I turned the car off, read the manual, then turned the car on and drove the less than a mile to my home with no problem. On 8/26/2015, after driving less than a half mile from home at not more than 20-30 miles an hour, the car lost steering power again. I pulled over, turned the car off, then turned it back on. I returned home and drove the car less than 20 miles to the Honda dealership in wesley chapel Florida. They kept the car. When I picked it up on 8/27/2015, I was told that a software update had been done. On 8/28/2015, I drove the car approximately 50 miles around town doing errands. When I started the car to back out of a store parking lot, I noticed the steering symbol was lighted and found that the car would not steer. I turned the ignition off, then right back on and returned home. I am now going to take the car back to the Honda dealer in wesley chapel.

While changing lanes on the highway the steering wheel stiffened, that caused me to go to the shoulder with breaking hard to stop from going into the guard rail.

At a stop sign, made a right turn. Right after I made the turn, at approximately 15-20 mph the power steering abruptly failed. Power steering failure light then came on. Pulled over and after turning off the car and then back on, the steering worked again, though it failed in a similar manner after driving for about another 5 minutes.

Steering wheel locks up while driving. Eps is the problem

- West Hemp, NY, USA

While driving down the road at approximately 30-40 mph, the eps (electronic power steering) light on the dashboard came on. Seconds later, the steering wheel stiffen up and was nearly impossible to turn the wheel. I immediately turn on my hazard warning lights and started to decrease my speed. Eventually, with much physical force and effort I was able to make it "safely" off the main road into an entrance to a construction site. I put the car in park and turned it off. After about 15 second, I turn the car back on and the power steering return to normal and the eps dashboard light went off. Call the dealership to make an appointment. However, this issue should be a recall as it can cause great harm to vehicle occupants and other drives in the case of an accident.

I was maneuvering into a parking spot in a 6 tiered parking lot and cutting my wheel to navigate into the spot and the power steering went out all of a sudden. Then the error light popped on. With all my might I had to try and back into a spot but could not hardly turn the wheel. When I did back up taking up 2 spots I turned off the car and restarted and it seems to allow me easier to steer (too easy actually) I then maneuvered to go into another single spot and when turning the wheel it locked on me again but I was able to turn the wheel enough to get into the spot. I am afraid to drive it and thank god that it was not last night as I was on the expressway at midnight. This should not be happening to a 2013 at all. I am seeing other complaints and Honda is just turning their heads and having us pay for this manufacturers error with our money and possible our lives?

When moving approximately 15 mph or making a routine turn, the power system failure light appears. All power assist is lost. I have taken vehicle to authorized Honda dealership at least three time. Problem not corrected. Dealership suggest turn ignition off and restart. This works sometimes but not always. I fear for my safety due to this unpredictable ongoing problem!!! update 9/15/15
