Problem overview

Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing difficulties maneuvering their vehicles due to non-functional Electric Power Steering (EPS), often indicated by the sudden illumination of the EPS light on the dashboard. This issue can lead to rough steering and significant challenges in controlling the vehicle. Owners of Civics and Accords from 2010 to 2020, particularly those from the 2012-2013 model years, have noted problems with the EPS system failing. Additionally, some owners find that low power steering fluid levels, often caused by leaks, contribute to the difficulty in steering, as the pump struggles to generate adequate pressure. If a leak is present, it may require costly repairs depending on its location. Therefore, it is essential for owners to monitor their power steering fluid levels and address any leaks promptly to ensure the proper functioning of the steering system.
