“On 8/24/20 I heard a clicking noise in my steering wheel when turning at low speeds or parking. I didn't think much of it until seeing that many hondas have this issue. The issue seemed lined to the clock spring. I made an appointment at joe morgan Honda in monroe, oh on 8/29/20 for 8/31/20. Joe morgan Honda confirmed that the issue was the clock spring aka cable reel. The invoice is attached. Joe morgan Honda explained that if I had let the issue go longer, the noise would have gotten worse. …”

Would briefly flash every few seconds as though it was trying to restart. Has done this twice now in a new truck of only 26k miles. This occurred in motion and persisted until the vehicle was turned off and restarted. Dealer says without a 'code' they cannot do anything. Extremely dangerous loss of info while driving.”
