With every thing going on with Toyota right now and some of the other auto makers coming clean on safety issues Honda might as well fess up to the problem with there EPS systems. Mine failed while taking a corner and nearly caused a collision. It was out of warranty so I had to ask American Honda for some goodwill assistance. After being ignored and then made to feel like I was doing something wrong by asking for assistance (not to mention being with out transportation for two weeks), Honda agreed two cover most of the cost of the repair. My portion was $288.00 which was more than actual cost for the part. Mine isn't the only one that failed. There are threads on several forums regarding this issue. Step up Honda.
