Turned on vehicle, put in reverse backed out of the driveway and electric power steering failed suddenly. Wheel was tight and shaky. The power steering warning message and icon only appeared as failure occurred. I put car in park and turned off vehicle. Turned vehicle back on, power steering warning message was gone but icon was still there. I put gear in drive, wheel still tight and shaky and drove foward back into the driveway. Had it towed to mechanics, they said I need electronic power steering unit. I then drove it to dealership to get their diagnosis.

I bought my Civic new on 2016. The car starts to have steering become jerky and tends to stick in the center position after driving on the highway more than 20 minutes on 03/15/2020. When that happens the car drifts to the left side and I have to use a extra force to pull it out of that sticking point back to the center steering . I did researched this problem on carcomplaints. Com and found 107 complaints on Honda Civic 2016 eps jerky problems. I also found Honda recall 18v663000 ( power steering assist fails ) on Civic and crv 2017-2018 but not included 2016 while Civic 2016-2018 use same eps assembly part no. 53650-tba-a01 that fix the eps fails. I brought my car to Honda dealer to diagnostics the problem on 05/2020 was 52k miles but they can't confirmed it because it appears after at least 20min drives so they don't want to spend that much time to drive on highway! I noticed the problem intermittently relative to the weather temperatures and the problem appears few month after I brought my car to dealer for Honda recall vsa and parking brake software updated. It's challenging to drive a straight line when the problem appears . Today 04/28/2021 my car has 57k miles and still have same problem but can't afford to pay over $2500 to replace the eps assembly due to out of manufacture warranty. I am deeply disappointed to own a car has less than 60k miles with major safety issues on eps unpleasure to drive.

I went out to move my car in the driveway this morning and was shocked that my power steering had suddenly failed out of nowhere while backing up. The car was extremely hard to maneuver in the driveway (certainly can't drive it anywhere), and the power steering warning appeared on the dash. 20 minutes later, it was back to normal, but now I am afraid to drive it.

My son was driving his 2018 Honda Civic sport hatchback on base as he is in the army national guard when he came to a bend in the road. He turned the steering wheel to the right, then heard and felt a pop and the car became unable to be steered in the direction that he was turning the steering wheel. The car went left even though he was trying to turn right into the bend. He went across the road and into a ditch causing significant damage to the vehicle. Thankfully he was unhurt. There were others who witnessed this because he was driving in a military convoy at the time it occurred. The NHTSA has issued a recall #18v663000 for 2018-1017 Honda Civic's on sept. 27, 2018 for the power steering assist failure describing exactly what happened to my son; unfortunately, his VIN has not been included in the recall. Someone needs to investigate this. The insurance company and american Honda have both been informed of this accident and an issue report was filed with Honda by us detailing what happened. However, they will not pay to open up the power steering gearbox to see if the magnet on my son's car did in fact become dislodged as in the others. We would have to pay out of pocket to investigate and since we are losing a significant amount of money already because they've deemed the car totaled, we are unable to investigate it on our own. Please investigate this to see if other VIN numbers need to be included in this recall! my son could have been killed or he could have killed someone else because of this!.
