While steering on the road (in motion), our 2010 honda fit suddenly jerks in the opposite direction from the turn, leading to a number of near-miss accidents. The problem was first noticed in fall of 2018. Dealer was able to replicate the problem and says the electronic steering rack and box are "bad" and need to be replaced at a cost of $2400. The car has never been in any sort of accident or catastrophic incident, and there are no signs of damage to components (like tie rod ends) -- it's just the steering that is suddenly unreliable.

Since purchase 2010 I have noted a suspicion of vehicle's electrical system. I have spoken numerous times of this suspicion and issues of concern to friends and family and with dealership. Dealership told me they are unable to check the electronic system.. My suspicion began within a year of purchase ,with automatic door locks making unusual sound as if not enough juice to lock or open automatically to more concern of driving with a drag sense and feeling like going to stall at traffic lights approximately 2015? Complaint form asks for exact mileage and year began. Date I entered is just over purchase date although the heat has been more of a serious suspicion 2015-2017 that I can recall; mileage of issues noted are guesstimate 0 miles through current 124,000 miles car periodically feels like will stall in traffic at stop light, and lack of power while driving at speeds 30-70 MPH. It is common to feel like I am pulling a trailer filled with heavy rock as if a pull or drag on engine, sometimes like it is just going to stall while driving. I have had battery checked for more than 3 years when questioning why it driving this way and I am told ,the battery is ok. I have replaced battery 2x since 2010 for actual battery failure. The driver dashboard and driver foot area heat up to what has been noticeable and of suspicion to me, feeling like an unusual and dangerous level of heat to touch. To touch heating cooling knob for example or in area of dashboard and electronic knobs have been very hot. I had just seen online and read about a 2010 honda fit engine and engine cooling the federal safety agency campaign #11v101000 recall dated march 7, 2011. I am told by honda and the federal safety agency that my 2010 honda fit is not included due to not being of same manufacturer of other honda fits of this recall. I am concerned that my engine issues that have been of my suspicion are related to this recall.

Engine wiring was chewed and heavily damaged by rodents. I am concerned because engine bay is easily accesable from the bottom of the car, there is no sheilding. I also read that on this paticular model the wiring insulation is soy based, possibly attracting rodents to said eat wiring.
