Has anyone else been through this? If yes appreciate if your share your experience.

Driving my new CRV (about two weeks old) home after dinner with my wife and son. Entering my apartment complex and needed to turn left, suddenly my steering wheel jammed and locked. Steering wheel locked at turning position causing me to nearly hit the guard house. I hit the emergency brake immediately. Had to use full force to turn the wheel back into the position needed to enter the parking. Multiple dahsboard lights went off. With great difficulty managed to manuver into my parking lot. Steering wheel still very heavy and unable to move it around freely as per normal. Called Honda and they came to tow the car to the service center. It has been there for two weeks. At first Honda personel informed me that they do not know the root cause of the problem. A couple days ago, received another call to inform me that my car is the second CRV to experience this issue and they narrowed it down to the steering rack. They need to order a replacement and it will take a minimum of 90 days to arrive. Upon arrival of the spare, they will need additional time to fix it. Honestly this is unacceptable and ridiculous especially since my car was less then two weeks old when it happened!!!

EPS failed. Similar problem to my smart forfour many years ago. The motor seized due to water damage.

jeng jeng jeng honda

Flood is it

Just imagine if it happen at high speed... kabooom

Yeah... Imagine going 200 and this shit happens

Yeah... Imagine going 200 and this shit happens

He must be pandan.....an unassisted eps is still drivable. Cuma berat sikit je

You hit the jackpot, you got a lemon

Better request for a replacement car or you sticker the whole car with HONDA BODOH and park in front of their office everyday

No. Water tight seal has a small crack. Had to replace entire unit for RM 3K. Luckily have chop shop parts. If original at Merc already RM 11K!

Above certain speed, EPS will disable itself so steering will be a bit heavier. Only slower speed or parking where EPS will kick in full time.

Power of dream too much

thats why prefer cars without too much electronic controls.

Less than two weeks old but hitting 3000km walao hardcore traveler.

By the way the screen showing “drive carefully” LEL

If the eps failed, isn’t it just like normal non powered steering afterwards? Just use force and turn it like in the old days

EPS to save cost. Hydraulic power steering still the best. Need regular maintenance but reliable. Hardly find EPS will last more than 5 years.

TS so hensem- https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/sear...n&ct=clnk&gl=my

Told ya to buy mazda

God giving you chance by avoiding certain bad luck

Trust me

Happened to my family before

Dad's car lock was jammed

He stubborn go call ppl to cut it off

End up big accident

Lucky no one died

Yeah

and Yeah

Hensen not Hensem

Something similar happened to my wife's and her friend's CR-V too. Not as extreme, but steering wheel became very heavy and dragging at certain directions. Really dangerous.

Wah Hensem Chan come already

Conlanfirm this car you bought is refurbished! remember or not? Penang got flood recently, they sold their car, then u bought it.. sorry to hear that..

Ts steal org post yea

This is Honda wo.

Yet so many people put trust on Perodua's ASA

After numbers of cases of eps jam locked in Axia

2 weeks old car already clocked 3000+ km...

Clone car from China?

Perodua said drivers cannot differentiate between locking and skidding

oppss this is Honda

Extra Protection Steering

Study hard or drive a Honda

If the car is proton. I think within 2 hours at least 10 pages liao.

/K SOP
Honda, normally is u got lemon unit

Proton, CCB, hkc, porkee mak kau hijao, pariah punya product.

Butthurt proton owner detected

Proton never has this issue....so Proton > Honda deal with it

this is why i hate EPS, i'm not saying its unreliable, i'm saying its unpredictable
this is also the reason i'm not selling my current saga BLM

Kecian bodo Tak bertempat. When ppl observe like this said proton owner.

prolly 1 of the reason proton refuses to shift to EPS until recently

Even 90kmh also can kill.. Adoi..

New car, more than rm100k price tag

TS im curious what camera/phone you using to take that pic?

happend to me when in usa..
but in 24hrs, they replaced whole car..

But proton had cvt gearbox overheating issue last time. When driving fast overtaking, engine mati sendiri to avoid gearbox overheat lel.

Easy to say, they dont know whats wrong and planning to change the whole steering assembly.

u better check that stats with perodua 1st thn come back here
the goal is 0 fault
when ppl are using hydraulic, even if the "power" part fail, the steering is still steerable
when EPS fail = well, u know i know lah ...anything related to electric, once the "electric" part fail, you're gonna have to pray to god

High speed u will be going straight . Wont be turning the wheel.

aww tat sucks.. tulah beli kreta popular & semasa jualan break record.. mesti ada kes kes cam nih..

Honda Power of Breakdown!

some butthurt people say this wont happen unless key cabut

Battery failure

Could be caused by alternator belt

Ini TS?

i dont think so

TS always copy and paste from other FB news without putting source one.

the same shit happened to my old AR 156, many many years ago. steering wheel locked while I was reversing from my house compound.

fking good riddance that piece of sillyspeed shitcar. no way I'm gonna buy another AR/Fiat car after this

and I am surprised it happened to brand new honda.

Well well well, better change car and avoid incident. You probably won't feel safe even after replacement either. Imagine even after replacement, you happily drive around cliff side road and steering locked, while you will having a good few sec of happy floating like a great astronaut, the thing with newton law, you will become a pancake. Remember, your safety is important. Change car and advise people not to buy the same model.

poi~

LOL.

What's new

7 years back when i got my brand new honda civic also steering rack jam at just 2K mileage. Went up genting halfway the rack jam, fulamak free arm workout.

but after replace no issues la. probably some rempit pasang salah or there are fault with honda steering racks all the while, one in a hundred thousand or so

english premier soccer

hi hensen chan ......btw why no rook at new cx5 ? sooo damn nicer

not a single reply from TS yet

lulzz

Crazy mentality. Tak apalah mentality

"Tak ada apalah. Sikit saja. Kita sudah jual banyak maa"

3 months without a car?

Demand for a replacement car.

If they dont entertain, send them a without prejudice letter with law firm letter head.... confirm straight get a replacement car to use (dont expect a new crv though)

Perodua is one thing. I was talking about your statement.

Maube its a Msian thingy

u shud push for a new car replacement

Can he actually get a new car replacement? Or just gonna try to "repair" it?? Just wondering...

The steering is not lock. The access motor die down or no power to it. Cause no power steering anymore. That require you too use more muscle to turn.

If the car is still moving, what happen to the light or dashboard instrument ? It is very important to determine is it come from the power side or only the steering access motor problem.

your car cacat is it. who say EPS will disable itself when not on low speed?

All I can say is work hard or drive a honda

lol even protong can make a power steering right,.shame on you honda

what process to change steering rack? dismantle engine too?

So hensem. Very rich. Much wow. I likey!

like then fast fast go penang find him...remember take bath before ahem

basically loss power steering? dun simply simply say locked la. if locked you wont be able to turn the steering anymore

Are you sure it's you or Hensen Chan having this problem?

not so smart

Penang? Dowan liao.
Scares flood.

Lol, so bodo

Honda city is good.

Pandan as fuark

Same thing happen with ma Peugeot. Alternator kong, steering randomly turn by itself followed by steering fault error message

I am surprise honda make you wait 90 days?
Thought only volkswagen only do this kind of bad service???

My old persona using hydraulic assisted steering wheel. Hnnnggghhh handling with confident. Using my company's car vios with EPS, didnt feel that confident

true story

I will buy camry and avoid honda next time

proton with hydraulic power steering most gooding feeling to drive. Only drawback take about 10% engine power i think.

Honda supplier source Perodua motor EPS parts to cut cost

conlan79firm

Don't think generation now know what is power steering. They never feel before.

Nowaday where got car still no power steering wan.

mafiosoWhat were you saying again about the reliability of korean cars vs japanese?

Classic EPS issue, disaster waiting to happen. At least with old hydraulic system, the power loss isn't sudden.
There's also another EPS failure mode, instead of a power loss (where you can still steer but have to use a bit strength), the electric motor locks the steering to one side by applying force - this one can be more fatal.

Proton Saga 2016 is still hydraulic

guys, jepung car no problem one.

sengaja wanna jatuhkan nippong nama.

TS myvi fan issit

kenapa tak support local car!!!

honda not for human use one

Hah, this is exactly what happened to me once, the steering bounce back by itself together with a fault code whenever it is being turned

Summore its a Electro-Hydraulic power steering, not a full on EPS

Usually Honda ppl got so many issue also so egoistic dont want to admit got problems
Because they so proud dont need to drive local cars but still not yet can afford Germans

well well well

new CRV.... the most ass car with enfing super bright white front light that can blind people

well.... ayam no kesian

>saw a crv broke down yesterday
it wasn't op.

buy boyue instead.
