One problem related to power steering hose, piping, and connections has been reported for the 1998 Honda Civic. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In the first incident the steering hose and rack were leaking (at 10,000 miles). I was told at my appt. For an oil change and steering inspection that they didn't have time to do both, so they wanted to change the oil and look at the steering later. I insisted they do the opposite and half an hour later I was told that I could not safely drive my car home. Currently, my transmission computer was found to be faulty after I reported a severe vibration accompanied by a constant sound. This too was shrugged off over the phone as being typical of the cvt automobiles. Twenty minutes after I had picked the car up after it was "repaired" I returned it to the dealer as it was shuddering and idling down to 0 rpm's, almost dying at stoplights. This has yet to be resolved as they don't seem to know what to do in regard to these transmissions.
