I was driving all of sudden power steering system light comes on and cant steer the car have to get it towed home.verry dangerous for whoever makes this steering wheel like this.for this car.with only 100k miles.
Car with 94k mikes. power steering stopped working while driving. almost impossible to turn wheels. "check power steering" light on. fuse for eps is working, which indicates that eps unit has failed. with the number of the same complaints over last few years acura should issue safety recall, as lack of steering could lead to fatal incidents.
I got check power steering system indicator on and power steering jammed , cannot turn. this happened all of sudden, fortunately it happened while driving back home on driveway. car has 75k miles, never heard for such thing, bad quality from acura.
Car started and right away power steering light flashes repeatedly and steering wheel is almost impossible to turn
While driving on the freeway 65+ mph the eps alert came on and the steering wheel was extremely hard to turn. luckily i was able to get the car home safely. i see many many complaints for the same issue, this is a huge safety issue and very dangerous. my car has just over 90k miles.
When i drove to a parking lot, the steering suddenly locked. the car had to be towed to a dealer for repair
While i was driving to work the steering wheel got real tight and was very hard to move. luckily i was not on the highway yet and was able to pull over safely. this was very scary and dangerous. i had to leave my car there and find a ride to work. i then had my car towed to a car shop to have it checked out. they are telling me it is an electrical problem but going to do a full diagnostic on it and get back to me tomorrow. after seeing all these complaints there should be a recall for this situation.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 acura tsx. while the vehicle was parked, the steering wheel failed to turn left or right. there were no warning indicators illuminated and the service power steering message displayed. the vehicle was towed to island acura (3350 sunrise hwy, wantagh, ny 11793, (516) 679-5400) where it was diagnosed that the control module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 09555329; however, no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 80,000. the vin was not available.
I lost power steering driving to work at interstate speeds a couple of weeks ago. i have been driving this route to work for many years and this experience startled me. this situation could have become fatal very quickly with a less experienced driver.the replacement cost is expensive and the eps module needed for repair is not easy to find. none of the local acura dealers will work with me so my car is sitting in a storage yard while i try to figure out what to do. as a result, i am without a car to get to work everyday. to add insult to injury, i just got the car out of the shop for a "soft pedal" brake failure, that happened at highway speeds too. this issue also could have ended very differently with less experience behind the wheel. that repair was expensive and it did not restore the braking system to original feel. the car stops better but just not as well as it did before. let me reiterate, the car does not have that many miles on it. i might expect these problems from a vehicle with twice this mileage,but not from a car with ...
Check power steering system alert flashes on when i was driving on highway during rush hours. i can barely make any turns when this happens. this is a huge safety hazard and puts my life as well as others at risk. others with same year and model have posted about this online. my mileage is about 65k. this needs to be recalled.
My 2012 tsx power steering failed this weekend while driving and it was a very dangerous situation. i was able to get the car home but was quite lucky that none of our teenage drivers were using it at the time. the dash warning signal came on for the electrical power steering. i followed the instructions in the car manual and tried to reset the warning by turning the car on and off and it did not make the issue go away. upon making an appointment today and doing some research on the problem, i found that this has been reported many times on several websites. i believe this is a significant safety issue and you should take action to prevent future, more serious incidents.
Check power steering system alert flashes on and off constantly and does not allow me to steer. i can barely make any turns when this happens. sometimes it is not there but it pops back randomly. i went to the dealer and they told me nothings wrong but clearly something is wrong. this is a huge safety hazard and puts my life as well as others at risk. others have posted about this online. this needs to be recalled.
Power steering module went out at 90,000 miles for a 7 year old car and cost for parts alone is $900
The power steering went out all of a sudden while i was driving home on the freeway. i was driving at normal speed with no traffic when my steering wheel went stiff and the car became very difficult to steer. my dashboard flashed a warning light and a message reading 'check power steering system!' i had to exit the freeway carefully as my steering wheel would barely move. i narrowly missed hitting several cars as i exited the freeway. my car just hit 70,000 miles like the other people who have experienced this issue. i have yet to get a repair estimate from acura, but it appears to be a very expensive issue. please help as this appears to be an ongoing issue with these particular acura models.
Steering went out during driving. dash is displaying 'check power steering system!' and acura says the part is $1200. this is ridiculous! i could have been injured by this. it's apparently a known issue in these cars.
