The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact stated that the vehicle recently lost power steering functionality while pulling into the driveway. Additionally, the contact stated while the vehicle was being serviced by an independent mechanic, the mechanic informed the contact that the subframe was rusted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed due to sub frame rust; however, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be diagnosed due to the severe rust.

The power steering indicator lights up and there is no power steering when the car is started. Sometimes the light goes out and the power steering is active after driving several miles. But, frequently the steering does not improve after 25-30 miles of driving. This makes it very difficult when trying to navigate turns, and backing up. The problem according to the mechanics is the Electronic Power Steering Module (EPS Module).

When I went to turn my car on the key/ignition does not turn,.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda fit. While driving 40 MPH, the power steering indicator illuminated and the power steering failed.

I own a 2007 honda fit sport and just yesterday while the car was parked and not running, I went to start it to leave work and the eps indicator light came on, steering wheel locked and car would not start. Was told a few things to try; bypassing battery cables clearing the circut, checked the fuse and neither worked(worth a try just to say we did so we would know). Finally had it towed to automotive shop, left over night only to find out the car started right away with no warning light on (eps indicator) for the mechanic. They drove it around, turned off, restarted and it started right up. Also hooked up to their code tool and no codes came up. My concern here is that this will happen again to myself, my 16 year old son, my 13 year old son riding as a passenger, or other passengers while driving (our only form of transportation) and cause an accident, harm, injury, or possibly death to ourselves and others around us. This is not safe and honda should fix this issue regardless of how old the vehicle is or the mileage. It's a hazard to every life!
Was in an accident after recall in which the front end was crushed completely and none of the airbags opened recently took car in for recall prior and complained about other concerns with car at dealership
While driving, the steering on the car becomes heavier than normal unexpectedly. The steering light comes on and goes off. Turning the car off and and on allows the car to be operated normally, but the condition can return.
