2013 Honda Crosstour Steering Problems

“Upon driving home I turned a corner and immediately my steering went out and I could not steer the car at all. The car has electronic power steering and the system went out. If I would have been on the highway it could have been a very bad situation. I had I towed to Honda which said this is not under warranty and will cost $3000. The worst part is they can't seen to fix it, they put in a new system but can't seem to get the computer to acknowledge it. …”

“While driving at 60mph on i95 my steering wheel suddenly went stiff and then an icon with the steering wheel and and exclamation mark appeared. I could not turn the steering wheel, I had to use all my strength to slowly roll off the highway to go straight into a parking lot of a grocery store and waited for a tow truck to pick up the vehicle. Currently waiting for an appointment with a dealership because of the covid-19 pandemic. Glad to be alive, this happened without warning.”

“I was driving and stopped at the red light when the green light came on I was unable to make a left turn as the steering wheel locked on me and I had to be pushed to the side by a few construction guys. I I could drive it but make no turns. Had the car towed to planet Honda in union nj, who stated it would cost me $4,000 dollars to fix the car is not 36 months old and they are saying it is not under warranty. Can you assist?”

“Driving on i85n at highway speeds the eps (elec. Power steering) light came on and steering became very difficult without any previous warning. I was able to slow down and veer off the highway without any incident thankfully due to minimal turning required. A week later, the issue reoccurred after a few days of being parked. At least this time I was not on a highway... Why did the NHTSA investigation only result in the eps issue being covered for the accord (2 different tsbs) of the same year but not for the Crosstour if the Crosstour is based on the accord?”

“At 92,886 miles, cranked my parked car up to back out of the garage and noticed the eps warning light was on and remained on. As I attempted to back out, I was completely unable to maneuver the vehicle. I've had older cars where you could at least muscle the steering when low on power steering fluid... Not so in this case. Very thankful I was not already on the highway as this would have been a life threatening situation. Absolutely no warning of any problem. This vehicle has never missed a service, has high quality synthetic blend oil, garage kept and always had the recommended service. …”
