Steering wheel and brakes got still when I turned the car on?
I drive a 2008 Honda Civic with 240k on it, today, I parked my car, put her in park and shut her off. I got back in later on, started her up and put her in reverse. When I tried to back out the steering wheel almost wouldn't move and the brake was the same way. I put her back in park, shut her off, turned her back on and everything was good. I have all new parts on it, or just about, and this is the first time it's happened as far as I know. Any advice on what this could be?
The engine either stalled the first time, or didn't actually start running.
You THOUGHT it was running, but it was off.
The motor never started the first time you tried starting it.
- Does power steering fluid get hot if the car is just running and the steering isn't being used? If the pump is just spinning, recirculating fluid and nothing else… Would it still get hot? I had to bypass the pump from the rack and have the fluid recirculate. Would the pump get hot from just spinning? I know 8th gen Honda's don't have a cooler for the power steering anyways.
- Why does my 2014 Civic Si have red honda badges on front and back and on steering wheel? I bought a new Honda Civic Si from the dealership and the guy said that it was one of 10,000 models of that year, it looks nice but i want to know how accurate this is. Why does it have red badges? And why does my engine cover look white instead of black like they are on other Si's? Please answer!

- Steering wheel locked, brakes locked, and ignition key won't turn? Wow has this car given me headaches, anyways I just recently replaced the alternator and I drove around for about an hour. After I get home I park the car and lock the steering wheel as always so I can put the club on. Later I come back out and try to turn on the car but the ignition key won't turn, my steering wheel won't unlock and for some weird reason my brakes locked up too. What happened? 96 Honda Accord EX
