What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The steering function failed. It is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The steering wheel is very heavy to turn. I can turn it at most 10 degrees to the left and right. Basically, I couldn't make a left turn or right turn and could only go straight. The vehicle is not drivable. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The problem persists and confirmed by my repair shop. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has been inspected by the repair shop and a Statefarm representative. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Not prior but a lot of warning light simultaneously turned on when the problem appeared (off-road light, electronic power steering, to name a few) I'm aware there is a recall for Honda Civic in 2018 related to steering gearbox but my car is not among the recalled. I'd like to have the manufacturer examine this situation and determine whether my car should be recalled as the issue is related to the steering part. The insurance representative believes this should be part of the recall.
