pry the plastic trim off from inside the back window.

"I turned my steering wheel full lock bout 15 times while stationary in drive. to try and get some potential air out of the rack."

What made you suspect there was air in there to begin with? Air only gets in if fluid has leaked out, and a leak is a serious matter. Follow the instructions in your vehicle handbook and check the power steering fluid level.
"The car is fairly new, only about 8 months old."

So it's still under warranty. Don't waste time with this if there's evidence of a potential problem, get the dealer to check any faults.

"could this have potentially damaged something?"

It won't have done the tyres any favours, but you'd be unlucky if you've done this on one occasion and suffered damage to anything else. Regular stationary steering causes excessive tyre wear and can delaminate the tread blocks from the tyre carcase.

"Heck, most people have to stationary steer several times when parallel parking right?"

Ummm, no. Not unless they were taught to drive by an idiot or have picked up bad habits since then. There's a vast difference between steering when the wheels are moving, even at the very slow speeds involved during parallel parking, and stationary steering.

"Shouldnt cars be designed to handle this? Especially new cars? Especially a new honda for that matter? I understand that it is generally not advisably to do this but considering the hell a lot of people put their cars through I thought tuning the steering wheel would have been nothing!"

Nothing has happened to your car, has it? Otherwise I'm sure that you'd have mentioned it. So stop panicking and don't worry. Don't do it again and treat what your friend says with caution in future.

None of what I've said is intended to upset or offend, but occasionally I just like to answer in a lighthearted style. The advice is sincere even if you don't care for the style of delivery. ;-)

Most cars has at back under look left or right side.

Unlock car, disconnect battery and leave fo 10 mins. Reconnect battery and see how you get on

You need to grease the speedometer cable

lighter will most probably be on its own fuse, which in your case is blown. radio and clock will probably be on the same fuse, which has blown. Its important to remember that most radios have their own fuse which is found at the back of the radio.(radio will have to be removed) but try the easy fuse first (in the fuse panel replace the bulb in the overhead light. the light cover should just pull off (may be a small clip to free it, flathead screwdriver )

If you drove it without oil and it heated up enough you seized the engine and you are out of luck. Engine rebuild or replacement is your only option. Check this out with a mechanic first before getting crazy though.

This should really be done by a good auto electrician with experience of alarms. Disabling it incorrectly could disable your car if not done correctly

You need a new mechanic! Use a piece of old hose (fuel line, heater hose, even old garden hose) about 4 or 5 feet long and CAREFULLY pur one end to your ear and the other under the hood and try to find where noise is coming from. Does car have a mechanical fan with a fan clutch? listen near there. Electric fuel pump? Heater/A/C blower fan turned on?

When was the last time you flushed your radiator?Start with a radiator flush. Could be that simple

Hello, My usual Brands are Ford products, but Foreign cars usually use simple, less expensive ways to do things. Assuming the brake pads are good, there should be a cable connected to the handbrake. You would usually pull the handbrake up to engage about 1/4 the way to engagement and lock it there. Then you would go underneath the car and find the cable that stretches from the handbrake lever to a juction with a second cable. There should be an adjusting thread somewhere at this intersection.With the rear wheels off the ground, you would tighten the nut on the threads of the handbrake cable until you hear rubbing in the rear brakes. Then get inside the car and pull back on the handbrake lever and you should not be able to move the rear wheels with the handbrake set. You then release the handbrake 100% and the rear wheels should turn mostly without noise.Now if you can not find an adjustment nut under the car, it is possible the handbrake adjustment nut is under the handbrake cover/boot inside the car. Still use the same process of setting the lever 1/4 engaged and tightening the threaded cable until the rear wheels start dragging.I hope this helps you.

You have not mentioned 2 important things. 1, have you checked for leaking head gasket'? It can blow in any of 3 ways. a) between cylinders, which will result in a misfire, sometimes slight. b) between compression chamber and water jacket, which will cause a gassy smell in the cooling system. Open the radiator cap and start the engine, check for water bubbles when the engine reaches operating temp, and smell the water. 3) between water jacket and oil channels - there will be water in the oil. Check the dipstick for emulsified oil in the sump (a greyish colour). And then 2 - engine timing. If the timing is fast, the engine will tend to run hot, especially when under load as in uphills etc.You will also hear pinging (spontaneous combustion). If the timing is slow, it will also tend to run hot when under load under certain circumstances. Let us know more.

Your list is missing the water pump. I'd also check belt tension.

Probably there is a big leak in your trans lines, trans pan gasket or radiator trans cooling lines. trans fluid become yellow mix with snow or ice. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/flavio_517b938f50183b92
