Steering vibrates when braking at highway speed.
Had problems starting the vehicle earlier in the day - info display showed a warning about multiple systems and wouldn't start the engine. honda investigated, no fault found, but "two cells in battery low." they provided a probable cause of "some light left on in the car which drained the battery" (which we knew not to be the case). same fault occurred after leaving dealership, turned off and on a couple of times, and then it restarted. driving home at approximately 45mph the car turned itself off - no power steering assist and no gas pedal. managed to wrestle the car to the side of the road. managed to start vehicle again after 5 - 10 minutes, but towed to the dealership this time. *tr
