While driving with no warning the power steering fails. The warning light then came on stating power system failure. Then just as quickly it began to work again before I was able to pull safely to the side. After checking the manual I set an appointment with honda of Huntington. They stated there was no error code for the steering and that I should drive the car till the light stays on. After that I took the car to my independent mechanic who also couldn't reproduce the problem. Two days later we drove the car for 1 hour and it happened again. Each time it was failing it returned to normal. This is an accident waiting to happen.

MY POWER STEERING UNEXPECTEDLY FAILED. I WAS ON THE ROAD TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND WENT TO MAKE A TURN BUT COULD NOT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT EFFORT. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A CAUSE. THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRONIC, AS MY VEHICLE IS A HYBRID.
VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH POWER SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. I HAD TO TAKE THE EXIT SINCE I WAS LUCKILY IN THE RIGHT LANE AND CLOSE TO THE EXIT. CAR WAS RUNNING ON BATTERY ONLY AT AROUND 30 MPH. I PULLED OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF POWER AND TURNED BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO REACH HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE CARDIE TO DRIVABILITY ISSUE. THEY CALLED US BACK AFTER 2 DAYS AND TOLD US THAT THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. PLEASE TAKE NECESSARY ACTION IMMEDIATELY.
