Description of the problem | My vehicle, a 2013 honda accord ex-l v6, has been having issues where a power steering light would come on in my warning lights, and then i would lose the assistance of electronic power steering. My commute is a short one in the suburbs of chicago. However, if i were actually in downtown chicago, or on a highway, the eps failure could be fatal. The first time it happened, i was driving across irving park road, and i pulled over and restarted the car. When i checked the power steering fluid reservoir the next day, it was low and took half a bottle of power steering fluid to fill. The problem recently resurfaced tonight when i was driving home from class. Even after restarting the vehicle several times, the power steering never came back. |
