The first time my steering wheel locked was at a shopping parking lot. luckily my husband was with me to jerk it around and get it to work again. the second time it happened was 2 days later. this time i was with my 3 year old toddler running errands. i was lucky enough to have it parked in my driveway when it happened. i came out to go pick up my husband from work and it wouldn't move. i called honda the next day they couldn't understand why it wasn't moving either. i towed it to their service center and receive a call that it will cost me 1200 dollars to replace the eps unit. why it happened? they don't know... a 3 year old car that i am still making payments on just decided to fry its eps unit!!! how frustrating! i am grateful that i wasn't on the highway or on the road and it for it to stop. where in other cases i've read online that it had happened to parents!
