| Electric power steering fails to turn on. this has occurred 4-5 times so far and 3 in the last month. when we start the car on the electronic power steering fails to turn on also. we sometimes hear a noise under the dash. we turn the car on and off several times and it usually fixes the problem, but it takes a few minutes to to this. this item should be grounds for a recall as it seems to be very common among online forums. | |||

| On multiple occassions at different speeds and different times during the day, weather, terrain, location, the power steering will randomly go out on the car. the most recent was on 9/4 when i was driving on 1-5. i am taking it to dealer tomorrow. i have researched this and see that many honda civic hybid owners are complaining of the same thing. | |||
