Description of the problem	After noticing a whining noise coming from the engine compartment i began to experience difficulty controlling the steering wheel during turns at any speed. After a day or two it became worse and much louder. A straining noise could be heard every time the wheel was turned whether in motion or at rest. I topped off the power steering fluid until i could get to the dealership, but the leak is so bad it only stays full for 24 hours. There were several times that week where turning was difficult and erratic as if the wheel was not wanting to steer in the direction i was pointing it. Brought to rick hendrick honda of charleston south carolina and was told the same as the other 50 complaints reported to the nhtsa. The power steering fluid is leaking onto engine belts that now need to be replaced. That the power steering hose, pump, switch, and various steering parts need replacement. Total cost? 1200 dollars parts and labor. This is a safety concern. Hazards are loss of control of steering while driving. Leaking flammable power steering fluid on to high temp surfaces (catalytic converter). This is not normal wear and tear this is a manufacturer defect that should be addressed and resolved by honda or their dealerships at no cost to the owner.
