Purchased my van used in 2012. It had a steering issue but I was new to the feel of Honda handling and thought it was ok and normal. I have had increasing issues with my capability to steer. There was an extended warranty recall on the power steering pump and reservoir but the previous owner of my van did not have it serviced. I called Honda and they said it is passed warranty and cannot absorb the cost of the repair. I say, that since the problem was never fixed while under warranty, it should be fixed now because Honda new about the problem while the time frame still obligated them to fix the problem. I am having difficulty steering my van, turning the van, with children in it, and so this is a safety issue that needs attention because it was not addressed and fixed when Honda should have fixed it.

When maneuvering in low mileage areas, I. E. Driveways, parking lots, my power steering pump does not assist well, if at all.

I was not aware that Honda had a recall on the power steerig pump. I have had this problem for over a year. My local dealer (autoparks Honda, cary, nc) is telling me that the recall is over and the extended recall is over so they cannot fix it at no cost to me. I don't understand why Honda will not replace the power steering pump when there was a recall on this part. It is still very hard to turn the steering wheel.

Over a period of a few years the steering pump has been replaced three times and one more time for the prior owner. 4 steering pumps and once again the pump is failing. The car has less then 100000 miles on it and yet Honda is failing to fix the steering pump that they said they were extending a 100000 mile warranty on. The pumps are all lemons and just continue to fail one after another. Its ridiculous that 4 pumps have failed on the same car over a few years. Obviously there is something more to this then a steering pump.
