THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT OR CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT, AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS (LIKE TIE ROD ENDS) -- IT'S JUST THE STEERING THAT IS SUDDENLY UNRELIABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A TURN, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPERATE WITH THE KEY OR FOB. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,500. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
ENGINE WIRING WAS CHEWED AND HEAVILY DAMAGED BY RODENTS. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE ENGINE BAY IS EASILY ACCESABLE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, THERE IS NO SHEILDING. I ALSO READ THAT ON THIS PATICULAR MODEL THE WIRING INSULATION IS SOY BASED, POSSIBLY ATTRACTING RODENTS TO SAID EAT WIRING.
KEY WILL NOT GO IN ALL THE WAY TO THE IGNITION, SO CANNOT START THE ENGINE. PART: 06351TF0A11 (LOCK CYLINDER) WAS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED

Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing either the left or right drive shaft, if necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk with an interim letter mailed February 2, 2021. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available.
