Consumer Description

POWER STEERING RACK FAILED UNEXPECTEDLY. CAR DEVELOPED A NOISE WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AND THE STEERING BECAME HARD TO TURN. MADE IT TO THE REPAIR CENTER (DEALERSHIP) WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REALLY HARD TO TURN BY THE TIME I GOT THERE (WITH A DRIVE NO LONGER THAN 10 MILES). LOOKING AT ONLINE FORUMS, IT APPEARS THAT AN ABNORMAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE NEEDED POWER STEERING RACKS BETWEEN 90K-130K MILES DUE TO LEAKS. THIS APPEARS ABNORMAL, AS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT A RACK SHOULD LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THIS MAKES ME WONDER IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING LEAK TSB THAT ACURA HAS FOR THESE CARS. *JB
