Consumer Description

MY POWER STEERING HOSE (WHICH IS CONSTRUCTED OF THE SAME MATERIALS AND ROUTED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE ACURA TL) BEGAN LEAKING FLUID ONTO MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER AT THE REAR OF THE ENGINE AND A GREAT DEAL OF SMOKE BILLOWED FROM THE HOOD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE HOSE OUT OF IT'S DESIGN POSITION AND AWAY FROM THE EXHAUST AND DRIVE HOME. THIS ENGINE IS IDENTICAL EXTERNALLY TO THE ENGINE IN TL. THE HOSE ROUTING AND MATERIALS ARE THE SAME AS WELL. THE TL RL TSX HAVE BEEN RECALLED, WHY HASN'T MY ACCORD V6? *TR
