The only one who can produce reliable statistics on this is actually HONDA and the EPS system vendor themselves. Not sure how you expect anyone else to do that.

Anecdotally the only other 215/55r16 user Quazacolt and myself (the only 2 E-spec Honda Civic I am aware) both have suffered steering rack failure already, so lets call it 100% in my book.

Everyone else attribute to V and RS. So all also kaput aje lah. Why bother trying to help Honda if they don't want to help themselves? They already have a mountain of failure parts in their inventory. What  statistic also can come out liao.
Fool me once, fool me twice eh.
Anger is definitely one way of dealing with grief, I have moved on to acceptance - just drive it and shut up....every few months go and claim steering rack and make fuss on internet haha.

Although I cannot rule out divorce too. Its always in the options.

BTW, I stupidly asked the salesman how is the FE steering rack compared to FC before buying, have they fixed it yet he didn't even blink and told me yes confirm. Bodohnyer aku.

But only left with Corolla Altis and that is suchhh a slugggggggg.......Got my eye on a Corolla Cross do you guys know if the power steering supplier is same?

Bro, can't relate a few new gen Mazda accident due to not using rear multilink suspension bro, there are so many cars on the road still using the torsion beam setup.

I would say based on my observation, nowadays too many cars and bikes on the road, population is too high and congested, and some driving recklessly thinking their car is bulletproof accident-proof because equipped with Active + Passive safety system, so likely that's the reason of high accident rate.

Can you cite example please?

Shhh, cannot talk bad of Toyota in public forum one, you never kena Toyota fans army shoot?
Funny thing is current Altis having wheel bearing frequent failure problem at very relative low mileage, nobody talk it on open public forum, they just keep complaining inside the private group only.

Same thing happened to last time Almera, wheel bearing was hot topic publicly that time..

still it doesn't correlates with CX30 using torsion beam

if you say due to CX30's brake pedal sensitivity.... maybe

if you say due to blindspots since the windows are small.... maybe

but those 2 reasons also ultimately boils down to the driver
iinm toyota steering issue is weird clicking noise when turning the wheel, unlike the sticky issue in hondas

i could be wrong though, only observed some cases in corolla cross owners group. so far havent seen anyone complaining about sticky steering
i think nowadays its hard to expect a 100% problem free car especially when it comes to fit and finish, CKD models you should probably even give up on this expectation

minimum expectation would be a reliable drivetrain, and warranty claim able to solve the issue then its fine. In Honda's case I believe many are frustrated because steering rack issue keep returning despite several warranty claims and replacements
