I own a 2007 Honda Fit sport and just yesterday the EPS indicator light came on, steering wheel locked, and car would not start. Was told a few things to try; bypassing battery cables clearing the circut, checked the fuse and neither worked(worth a try just to say we did so we would know). Finally had it towed to automotive shop, left over night only to find out as right now, the car started right away with no warning light on (EPS Indicator) for the mechanic. They drove it around, turned off, restarted and it started right up. Letting it sit for a few hours and will try it again later this afternoon. Also hooked up to their code tool and no codes came up. My concern here is that this will happen again to myself, my 16 year old son, my 13 year old son riding as a passenger, or other passengers while driving (our only form of transportation) and cause an accident, harm, injury, or possibly death to ourselves and others around us. THIS IS NOT SAFE and HONDA should fix this issue regardle

I have taken it to my dealer for this recall. When I got it back it still doesn't work. Who can I contact for this problem? They also left my Driving wheel cover open. Please let me know what can I do.
Thank You,
