Honda Fit Steering Safety Report | June 11, 2010
Reported on June 11, 2010
| ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD FAIL ON START UP, PARTICULARLY AFTER SOME OVERNIGHT RAIN. WITHOUT THE STEERING ASSIST THIS CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO HANDLE. RESTARTING THE ENGINE HAS CORRECTED THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SO FAR, BUT IT POSES A CONSIDERABLE DANGER, ESPECIALLY IF THE STEERING ASSIST WERE TO CUT OUT DURING HIGH SPEED DRIVING. *TR | |
