POWER STEERING FAILURE, WHEN STARTING CAR POWER STEERING FAILS AND WARNING LIGHT ON DASH BOARD LIGHTS UP FOR STEERING FAILURE, THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS, CHECKED MANUAL AND IT ADVISES SHUTTING OFF CAR AND RESTARTING WHICH I WOULD DO, AFTER DOING THIS SEVERAL TIMES THE POWER STEERING ENGAGES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY 10/2/09 AND WAS ADVISED THE POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDED REPLACED AT A COST OF $800.00, I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE MODULE REPLACED ON 10/5/09 AND WILL RETAIN THE DEFECTIVE MODULE IF NEED FOR YOUR INVESTIGATION. THE LACK OF POWER STEERING MAKES THE CAR VERY DANGEROUS AS THE FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING MAKES THE CAR UN DRIVABLE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HONDA NEEDS A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER OWNERS OF 2006 HONDA CIVICS HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA. *TR
