2013 Honda Fit Steering Problems

“When driving my Honda, the car intermittently loses electrical power for about a second. When this happens the power steering is disabled. I fear losing control especially when making turns. The steering will lock up. This happens literally daily at this point. Doesn't matter if I am on the freeway or city street.”

“While driving the radio, dash lights, head lights, and power steering cuts out for a moment then comes back on. This started occasionally 3 months ago with just the radio and dash lights and has progressed to several times in a row and now includes the head lights and power steering. There is no predictability to when or how many times it will happen. Once it happened when I was coming off the highway going around the ramp at a good speed, the electrical went out I lost power steering and almost hit the guard rail it came back on just in time for me to regain control. …”

“It was raining. I was on the highway, cruise control set at 65 MPH. At this point, the road curves to the right. I had just gone through a dip in the road and I think I may have been hydroplaning. The vsa light came on and the ride became very choppy. I started pumping the brakes and I tried to steer my car to stay in the lane but the steering wheel locked up and I couldn't move it. I continued on a straight path even though the road curved. I was on the left hand shoulder, heading off the road completely, still trying to steer to the right when the vsa light abruptly turned off. …”

“My 2013 Honda FIT has only 76,000 on it. While driving the radio shut off, head lights dimmed, dash board lights flickered and I lost power steering. Took it to the Honda service station in jasper alabama and they could not find the problem. The engine light and steering wheel with exclamation point showed up on the dash board. Car looses power steering while driving for a few seconds and then comes back on. This is very dangerous. With a vehicle with less than 80,000 miles on it this should be recalled as I am not the only one on this forum to have a complaint about this exact issue.”

“Steering locks up while driving and attempting to turn the wheel. Steering locks up also while standing still. Electrical power seems to be interrupted for a couple seconds while this is happening. Headlights dim and radio quits for that period of time. The event electrically seems to be interrelated. Very scary and dangerous when the vehicle is in motion.”
