Description of the problem | 2013 honda accord: i was driving about 35 mph and suddenly i felt the steering wheel get stiff and immediately the indicator light came on the dashboard indicating my electronic power steering system had an issue. I slowed down promptly in the road (no one was behind me) and it took all i had to turn the wheel to get it off the road. I turned the car off for a moment just as the honda manual instructed and when i turned the car back on, nothing had changed, still light on the dash and no possible way of me turning that wheel. I called aaa and the driver of aaa can vouch for this because it was still in the same condition when he picked it up. This was wednesday evening, december 23 that it was towed to the dealership. On friday morning, after dealer was closed christmas eve and christmas day, they called me saying nothing was wrong with my car¿ |
