Honda Fit Steering Safety Report | Nov 05, 2009
Reported on Nov 05, 2009
| WITHOUT WARNING, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) LIGHT LIT ON MY DASHBOARD AND MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. I HAD NO ABILITY TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT TO SAFELY LEAVE THE ROAD. TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM I HAD TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF AT A STOP LIGHT AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE A 2007 HONDA FIT AND LUCKILY, THE PART IS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHILE THE PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN FIXED. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PERFORMANCE PROBLEM AND A RECALL IS IN ORDER.*TR | |
