Power Steering Light On problems of the 2012 Honda CR-V

While driving on the highway, my power steering light came on and the steering wheel locked up. I was struggled to turn the steering wheel to get the car to the shoulder of highway. It almost caused me to have an accident . It was towed to the dealer and they stated it was the power steering or ecp and it will cost almost $1500 dollars to fix. My car was never in any major accidents for anything of this nature to occur and is always serviced at the dealer. I ask the dealer why would this happen and all he said was �the only thing I can think of is if it was in an accident �.

Electrical power steering---the steering wheel became very hard to turn and the electrical power steering light came on when I pulled out of my subdivision onto the main street. This happened while turning a corner and while turning around in a parking lot. ---it totally turned off and would not restart for several minutes. Took it to the Honda service they could not find anything wrong with it! then it happened again while I was on highway 158-turning onto the main road--I could have been in a wreck or killed---when I finally made it to a safe place the car turned off again for 10-15 minutes. The Honda service department sent a tow truck--hopefully they can repair it. ---this is a very unsafe situation to have happen--thank god I was able to correct the turn! it happens while turning--and the power steering light comes on! this happened on 7/10/17 and 7/13/17.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at any speed, the steering wheel seized. The steering wheel warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle stability actuator (vsa) failed. It was unknown if the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the dealer and manufacturer informed that there were not a related to the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

While driving less than 30 mph, the power steering failed on two occasions with my 2012 Honda crv. It became very difficult to turn the wheel and the power steering indicator light was on, and the only thing I could really do is stop in the middle of the street. When I turned off the vehicle and restarted it, the steering worked fine again. The same thing happened again about one week later. I took it to my Honda dealer in inver grove heights, mn, to have it checked. They could see from the two codes that something happened but could not find anything wrong. They contacted Honda, who indicated it could have something to do with the battery connection so they checked/replaced the grounding wire to the battery and also checked all of the connections. I previously had problems with the battery about 6 months after getting the new vehicle. I had trouble with the vehicle starting even in the garage. I had it into the dealership at least three different times when they determined I had a bad battery. After they replace the battery, I did not have any problems with it starting again. It makes me wonder if the previous battery issue and the steering issue could be related I have only been driving it a few days, but it has not happened again as yet. If it happens again, I will take the vehicle to my Honda dealer and update this complaint. Having steering failure is obviously a very serious safety issue, which I am very concerned about.

2012 Honda crv - power steering intermittently goes out while driving and power steering failure light on dash illuminates. Once vehicle is turned off after an occurrence the power steering again works fine for days or weeks until the next occurrence. While the dealership acknowledges that when this occurs the vehicle is unsafe to drive, the vehicle is currently at the dealership for the third time to attempt repair for this dangerous problem. Note this is the first model year to use Honda's new motion-adaptive electric power steering (eps).
