    Hard to steer at low speed. At idle, can not turn wheel very well unless you put in neutral and increase the rpm. Power steering pump used to squeal and dealer replaced some seals on power steering system. Honda repair shop said " many honda cars steer hard" if i need to turn wheel at low speed to get out of way of danger, forget it! *tr
