 Description of the problemAfter driving apx. 50 miles most of them at highway speeds upon exiting the highway and waiting to make a turn i heard a loud whining noise from under the hood. When i tried to turn it was difficult to do so. The noise continued and the vehicle was difficult to turn at times as if you had loss power assit. I parked the van and ckecked the power steering fluid level, level was good, but it looked foamy. The van sat for apx. 3 hours i checked the fluid again and it looked normal. After starting the van the noise was not as pronounced and steering seemed ok, but after making the 50 mile return trip home the same problem returned. After checking the internet i find this is a problem honda is aware of since they have issued at least two service bulletins 07-005 and 10-076 to address the problem. I would think any problem that would affect the steering of a vehicle at slow or high speed should be repaired by the manufacturer. You could loose the ability to avoid an accident if this would happen at either speed or cause an accident. It is not as if this is due to poor or lack of maintance, or high milage. The problems seem to happen way before a vehicle of this cost and preceived quality should start having problems, to a system that affects it's safe operation. Some have occured during the warranty period. I can only speak for my van, but it has been serviced by a honda dealer since new. I hope human life does not have to be lost or serious injury occur before this on going problem is resolved. Honda knows they have a problem if they will not do the right thing, then somebody needs to make them, and fix the power steering pumps.
