    Electric steering locked while making a left turn. As i was turning the wheel seemed to lock and then all of a sudden it went the opposite direction i was turning and i almost skidded off the road. Most of the time especially when i'm getting on the freeway, it feels like i have a little control over the steering and it feels loose. The steering also gives me problems when i pull into a parking space i can't…

    We purchased a 2018 honda civic sport hatchback in late spring of last year. While driving it in snowy conditions, it consistently collects snow and ice in the wheel wells to the point where it has actually causes damage to the inner wheel well and causes consistent rubbing and burning smells due to the ice rubbing against the tire. The response from the dealership (garber honda in rochester) and the auto…

He turned the steering wheel to the right, then heard and felt a pop and the car became unable to be steered in the direction that he was turning the steering wheel. The car went left even though he was trying to turn right into the bend. He went across the road and into a ditch…

    Rodents ate through the electronic power steering wires. My son was driving the vehicle when power steering loss occurred. He could have been in an accident and or killed. American honda won't do anything about this and someone needs to address this safety issue. The vehicle was in motion when loss of power steering!!

    Was driving on a side street (speed limit 35) when suddenly neither the brakes nor steering worked. It was almost like i was hydroplaning, but the roads were not wet and it wasn't racing. I had no control of the car. Finally the steering reengaged and i was able to swerve the car so i didn't hit another car. Fortunately i was on a side road and not going very fast.

    The issue is with the "road departure mitigation" (rdm)system. The system may have been working as designed: but if so it created a correction that may have resulted in a serious accident. The issue occurred at a point where the road abruptly changes from a single lane to a three-lane road. The three-lane road has a solid divider between the three west-bound lanes and the three-east bound lanes. The normal procedure…
