23 Steering problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2013

Took care in for maintenance. Was told compliance bushing is wearing and should be replaced soon. I'm finding this item cost about $20. And several hundreds to fix due to labor. Looking at all the blogs, this particular item has upset many because of the design and looks to be a cash cow for the dealerships. If I wee to purchase all bushings for the lower control arm (3 each side) the total in parts would be $89. But to have the dealership to replace just one busing would be over $500. The lower control arm has to be removed to replace just the one bushing. To purchase the lower control arm which includes the 3 bushings, is just over $300 per side. Plus reading all the blogs, the compliance bushing has a tendency to wear quickly. Honda should fix at no cost to the owner.

24 Steering problem

Failure Date: 09/06/2013

I had my vehicle serviced at Honda of spring dealership in texas. They did a power steering flush. After they were done, they told me my high pressure power steering hose was leaking and had to be replaced. It was not leaking before I had the vehicle serviced. They wanted over $600 to replace the hose. I believe the hose was defective and the flush finished it off. The dealership told me the hose was not recalled for my vehicle VIN number. I can't afford to pay that much for a hose and the car might catch on fire if the hose is not replaced. If it does, I am suing Honda for defective high pressure power steering hose damages.
