Fit 2012. Steering wheel locks while driving.

Anyone had this problem with the 2012 model? Every once in while when driving the wheel kinda locks or rather becomes heavy, I'd say it is borderline dangerous. I called Honda and they are asking some $90 only for diagnostics... Thanks

your power steering might be going bad

I agree with ryu—sounds like power steering cutting out for some reason. I would generally expect that there would be a code recorded in the computer...and probably the electric power steering idiot light coming on (IIRC a steering wheel and exclamation point icon).

Is it possible to get it fixed by myself? The battery was replaced recently, I wonder if that could be related.
