Consumer Description

12/19/2012 9AM, I WAS DRIVING CALIFORNIA FREEWAY (110) ABOUT 30 MILES/HR. WEATHER WAS CLEAR, ROAD WAS DRY AND NO POT HOLES. I GOT "POWER STEERING WARNING" LIGHTS/BEEPS AND I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. IT WAS VERY STIFF TO STEER AND I BARELY PULLED OVER TO THE CURVE.(ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING). AND I STOPPED THE ENGINE AND TURNED BACK ON THEN THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. BUT IT WAS THE SCARY EXPERIENCE ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, SANTA MONICA ACURA AND LEFT OVERNIGHT FOR TROUBLESHOOT. NEXT DAY, THE SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, RAN ALL THE TESTS AND CONTACTED "TECH SERVICE" BUT NOTHING ABNORMAL FOUND. THEY SAID IT IS OK TO DRIVE. MY CONCERN IS WHAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN ON THE CURVY ROAD AT HIGH SPEED AND I LOSE THE CONTROL OF STEERING. *TR
