Default 09 tsx turning steering wheel and power shuts on and off

Hey guys I need some help with my wife 09 tsx. Everything is stock except for the rims, since this is a family car I don’t want to do much to it. But lately and not every time I’d does it but when it does it scares me because my wife has to drive it with our 3 kids... so when I go to turn the steering wheel the power goes on and off but engine doesn’t shut off. It doesn’t do it all the time but when it does I lose power steering which makes it hard to turn for few seconds and power shuts on and off. I’ve never seen this before and never heard of it but it seems like something in the steering column or power steering goin bad or something if anybody else experienced this or know what would be causing this let me know please.


Ill I’ll try to post a video of it

Sounds like something that happened to my SIL's Honda Fit. The culprit ended up being a bad positive battery terminal. The secondary power cable wasn't making a firm connection, so I rearranged it to make sure it'd stay tight.

I would get this issue fixed before you drive the car again, I wouldn't take the risk of this happening and your column locking while turning like some gm vehicles with the ignition switch recall.

i checked the negaitve cable cable on the battery and found it was a little loose, enough to where I can turn left and right. I tighten it up more and hasn’t happen again yet so I’m hoping that was it. Goin on 3 days now and so far it’s good. Mayb it had something to do with the weather being cold cause it never happened when it was summer.

thanks a lot🤞👍
