We were driving down the highway when the power steering light came on. It took two of us to turn the wheel to make a right or left turn. We were both afraid for our lives! we did not know if we were going to make it home but we did. I am petrified to drive this car again! I have to use the car because I live so far away from stores to shop etc. Please help me soon so I can use the car again!!!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Honda Civic. The contact stated that after turning the vehicle on after being parked in the driveway, they noticed that the vehicle's check power steering system warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle's steering wheel fails to turn left or right, maybe moving approximately a half of an inch in either direction. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealership. The vehicle had not been officially diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

The power steering light will come on and the cars power steering column will lock up. I was driving down the road approximately 60 mph and the power steering light came on. I could barely turn the steering wheel . I was able to slow down and people helped me get it to the side of the road. I had the car towed to the dealership and I was informed I needed to update the eps. It cost $70 and my system software was updated. A month later I was driving again and the light came on. The power steering immediately locked u again. This is so dangerous. I was able to get stopped, turn the car off and back on. It reset it I guess cause it started working. I drove it to the dealer very slow and was told I need an eps control unit system and it would be around $867 with labor. I've noticed tons of other people have this same complaint and it should be a recall issue and fixed. It's very dangerous and someone is going to get killed.

Just as many other complains, daughter got into car after classes and couldn't steer car in parking lot. Noticed check power steering light on. Dad came to take her home since not drivable. Researched issue and noticed troubles with many other owners. Went back to car next am prepared to have towed to repair shop and problem was gone. Drove car home since didn't want daughter to drive it. Took to local hi da dealer service and said no issues with steering but needed replacement airbacn for $1200! this is outrageous. We also have a Honda minivan (second one) that has electrical issues recently.

My 16 year old daughter was driving the car at 45 mph and the power steering system warning light came on and she lost steering control. She pulled over turned off the car and sat for 15 minutes. Then turned the car back on and it worked she drove the car for another 5 minutes and it did the same thing to her again. If she would have been in a curve when this happen she would not have been strong enough turn the car and an accident could have occured.

Driving back home from work, check power steering light came on. Difficult to drive home. Next day I started my car, the check engine light is not displaying.

I was driving on highway yesterday with 2 of my toddler kids in my Honda. Suddenly the power steering light turned on and immediately the steering became extremely difficult to turn and like dead. I was very scared and try to slow down. But it is still very extreme difficult to turn. I turned on the double flashing light and slowed moved to the nearby gas station and asked my insurance to tow my car to dealer. I am 20weeks pregnant so I have 3 children in the car. The second day the dealer checked everything but told me they cannot find any problem with it. I found a lot of complaint filed online with 2012 Honda Civic and there is a recall with certain 2012 Honda Civic that was made late that year. I called Honda inc and checked my VIN, I was informed there is no recall on my car. I explained this is very similar to other cases they made recall on about the steering system and this is very likely due to their manufacture mistake as I have been driving this car without any issue in 5 years and no any accident or injury. They say there is nothing they can do. The car dealer also inform me there is nothing they can do but have me drive carefully and they told me this can happen again!!!. I am pregnant and have 2 little children I sent to school with daily. I cannot have this happen again in a tragic accident. !!!.

Was driving around 50 mph when the light changed changed to yellow, when I tried to put on brakes they were gone and the steering was gone also, I did see a error message that stated to check power steering I was able to turn the car into a parking lot instead of going through the light. I cut off the car and re-started the car and the message and the check steering light were gone. It was as if the car lost power. I put my VIN in Honda's web site to check for a recall and there were not any. This could cause fatal accidents.
