2012 ACURA TSX Complaints

I WAS DRIVING LOCAL,STOPPED AT THE LIGHTS WHEN THE "CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM" SIGNAL CAME ON MY DASHBOARD SUDDENLY.I STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET,TURNED OFF THE ENGINE THEN TURNED IT ON,THE WARNING LIGHTS DISAPPEARED.CONTINUED DRIVING HOME WHEN THE SAME HAPPENED AGAIN.THE WHEELS BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN ,SO I PARKED THE CAR.THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTEN UP ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED, I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEICHLE AND SEVERELY INJURED MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT ACURA HAS TO LOOK AT AND MAKE IT A RECALL BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPEN TO SO MANY OTHER 2012 ACURA TSX OWNERS, I, MYSELF INCLUDED. P.S IT HAS AROUND 53K MILES ON IT

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON A FOUR LANE, DIVIDED HIGHWAY, THE "CHECK POWER STEERING" LIGHT CAME ON, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED. STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE AS CAR WAS GUIDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING 30 MINUTES, CAR WAS RESTARTED AND THE ERROR CLEARED. THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FUNCTION RETURNED AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. CHECKING ONLINE FORUMS AFTERWARDS, DETERMINED THAT FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS VERY COMMON IN THESE CARS BETWEEN 75,000 AND 80,000 MILES. THIS CAR HAD 77,900 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURRED.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON 2012 ACURA TSX WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 1580 TO REPAIR IT AS THEY NEED TO DO THE WHOLE POWER STEERING REPLACEMENT. THE CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. NOT TO MENTION IT WAS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE WHEEL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE.

MY 2012 ACURA TSX WITH 69000 MILES. STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FROZE AND LOST POWER STEERING. IT IS A WELL MAINTAINED CAR AND HAVING A STEERING PROBLEM WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE IS UNACCEPTABLE. SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. ON DIAGNOSIS, IT IS EPS UNIT AND IT WILL COST ME $1200+ ? ACURA, LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL.
