Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE ONLY ACURA DEALER IN TOWN, THE TROUBLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A RACK AND PINION FAILURE. WHEN WE SUGGESTED THAT WAS AN ATYPICAL PROBLEM FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 87, 000 MILES THE DEALER AGREED IT WAS NOT TYPICAL. TWO DAYS LATER WE LEARNED THAT THE SAME DEALER HAD JUST DONE THE SAME REPAIR ON THE SAME MODEL WITH LESS THAN 50, 000 MILES. AFTER DOING SOME SEARCHING ONLINE WE DISCOVERED THAT THE ACURA TSX RACK AND PINION SYSTEM HAS FAILED IN A NUMBER OF THE VEHICLES WITH AT LEAST ONE ACCIDENT CAUSED BY IT. SINCE STEERING LOSS CAN CREATE A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT RISK, I THINK THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *JB
