Power steering problem

Hey there, has anyone had any problems with the power steering? I have had three incidents in the last two weeks and have not seen anything about a recall or serice notice from Honda.
Basically the power steering locked up up start up and did not resume until the car was restarted. Worse yet my wife was driving my fit and the power steering locked up while she was driving on a high speed surface street. Has anyone else had this problem or hera of a recal. I have to get it to the dealer before the warrenty expires. Any ideas?

sorry i have not had an issue with my power steering at all. i also have not read anyone else who has had this problem either.

but hurry and get that shit to the dealers.
my warranty covers the charge of the towing if its covered under warranty

ummm...I am a bit confused (nothing new there heeee) do you mean the power steering turns off and/or the steering becomes unassisted?
Or does it actually lock up and you cant turn the wheel?(not just harder to turn)

...please keep us posted and I hope you get it resolved soon.
good luck...

I wouldnt even drive it to the dealer i would call them up and get that shit towed. Thats not safe at all. I cant say i have ever heard of it either but yes we need more info on it. If it is fully locking or just no assist. Keep us up to date on whats going on with it though. Thats something serious.
