The 2016 Honda CR-V has had certain problems with its Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPS) system. The EPS may suddenly fail, resulting in difficulty in steering. Some drivers have reported instances of sporadic power steering problems, where the warning light illuminates briefly before turning off. A faulty EPS controller or wheel could trigger an EPS error. Mechanical issues in the Rack-and-Pinion system may lead to EPS malfunction and potentially damage the motor. If the electric power steering fails, you can still steer the vehicle, but it will be more challenging at low speeds, improving as you accelerate. Replacing the EPS control unit typically costs between $500 to $600, with the parts priced around $400.
