Consumer Description

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY ROADTRIP FROM TAMPA TO BUFFALO, IN ONE OF THE REST AREAS CLOSE TO FLORENCE, SC ON I-95 MY STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN, REALIZED THAT THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY DUE TO A LEAK IN MY NEW ACURA MDX 2011( ~7000 MILES). FILLED IT UP WITH POWER STEERING FLUID AND DROVE TO AN ACURA DEALER, WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE/FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE HE DID NOT HAVE A TECHNICIAN ON SATURDAY, DROVE TO THE ACURA DEALER FALLS CHURCH, VA ( SINCE HE WAS OPEN ON SUNDAY) AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAK WAS FROM THE POWER STEERING RACK AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RACK AND IT HAS NOT LEAKED EVER SINCE. THIS IS FOR AN ACURA MDX 2011 ADVANCED PACKAGE ( CANNOT FIND ACURA 2011 INFORMATION ON VEHICLE TAB). *TR
