Description of the problem | I started my engine and was backing up my car, when i noticed i couldn't turn the steering wheel. I stopped the engine and restarted the car as indicated in the manual. The steering wheel was almost impossible to turn. The car was towed to the honda dealership and they gave me a bill of $1800 to work on the power steering to torque sensor? And the pins and rack? I'm terrified that this will occur again, but when i am driving resulting in an accident. I am terrified that the replacement parts will fail. This is a 2013 honda accord coupe, i don't think the power steering should be failing in 2015. What will prevent the replacement parts from being just as faulty? I understand there is an investigation on this model, but honda dealership seems to be sitting down until people are injured. |
