EPS issues 2012 4 cyl

I have a 2012 civic 4 cyl
having major issues with the EPS. It all started about 3 years ago when the “check power steering” warning came on. You could steer the car but it required a lot of effort. I replaced the steering rack with a used one which lasted about 1-1/2 yrs before the exact same issue occurred. Again I replaced it with a used part and it lasted about 1 year and again the same issue except was getting a VSA error message. Again I purchased another used steering rack with only 75,000 miles (supposedly) on the vehicle and it didn’t make it 2 days and I’ve lost power steering and also getting the VSA error message. I know used parts are not the best way to go but a new or reman rack was extremely expensive and used was all I could afford.
I wondering if anything else be causing the total loss of power steering and the VSA error like the EPS CONTROLLER.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this lengthy post.

EPS should report fault codes that can be read by a scanner. That would give you a place to start.
