ever heard of speed sensitive steering? you don't need power steering
on the freeway, so assist is reduced to give you more road feedback. at
low speed manoevering however, you /do/ need power assist, so that's how
the system is set up - the "fix" is to keep your foot off the gas. if
you want sloppy steering at all speeds, sell the honda & buy a buick.
