It's pretty tough to turn when there is no power steering!

Power steering fluid low? I can't find it where to add the fluid.......
You need to get to a dealer. Failure of the PS module is a known issue on the Fits. Get them to replace yours. It will fail permanently soon.

Was in replaced under warranty? This has happened to my 07 twice in about the last five months. Both times during extreme cold temps when i let the car warm up for an extended period. Both times i simply shut off the car and restarted immediately with the problem gone. It's now been two or three moths since it's happened.

My car has lost power in the steering. Despite having the EPS Unit being replaced, there is still a problem. Please advise me what to do.

How long ago was it replaced? Regardless, bring it back to that dealer and even if the warranty is up they should still go to bat for you as far as getting Honda Motor Company to replace it or at least part of the cost.

Good Luck

Same issues

My EPS unit is being wonky too. The EPS light comes on when I'm parked underground and it's cold. Above ground, it's fine... Has anyone had similar issues?
