After driving for 20 minutes or more and especially on hotter days my steering sticks. It is very noticeable when going in a straight line. It feels as if it gets stuck in a notch and I have to give it extra pressure to move the car which results in overcorrecting.
Sticking steering wheel
I am filing this complaint regarding repeated problems with my Honda’s A/C system. The repair history includes a leaking evaporator, which I paid for out of pocket; a failed A/C compressor, replaced under warranty; an A/C compressor shaft seal, also replaced under warranty; another compressor issue; and now an expansion valve that I am being told I must pay to replace. My concern is that the vehicle has been inspected and repaired multiple times for the same A/C system. If the expansion valve is now causing or contributing to the problem, why was it not identified during the previous repairs? I have already paid for the evaporator repair and repeatedly returned the vehicle because the A/C continues to fail. I do not believe it is reasonable to continue charging me for one component after another when the underlying problem has not been properly resolved. I am requesting that Honda and/or the dealership cover the expansion valve repair, including parts and labor, and fully inspect the A/C system to ensure the root cause is corrected. I also request an explanation as to why the expansion valve was missed during the previous repairs and why I should now be financially responsible for another related A/C repair after multiple prior attempts to fix the system.
Sticky steering. More effort required to move steering wheel. Ongoing.
I was sitting in my car with it turned off. About 1.5 minutes after it being off the electric parking brake engaged, which is not normal and I wasn’t parked on a hill. I turned on my car after hearing the E-brake engage. The dash board showed “Electric Parking Brake Problem” & the E-Brake dashboard display was flashing as well(I have a video but video is not an option for uploading). The alert magically disappeared as well.
