NHTSA Complaint #10808739 — 2010 ACURA MDX

WHILE MAKING LEFT TURN INTO A ROAD AT A SIGNAL TRAVELING AT 30 MPH - 35 MPH IN MOTION, ENGINE RUNNING - ALL OF A SUDDEN VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED AND COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN AGAIN. MY WIFE ENDED UP CRASHING INTO A ROAD DIVIDER LUCKILY IT WAS AROUND 10:30 PM IN THE NIGHT AND DIDN'T HAVE VEHICLES EITHER ONCOMING OR BEHIND. SHE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED AGAIN, VEHICLE ACTED NORMAL. SHE PULLED OVER TO THE CURB FOR SAFETY. DEALERS REPORTED THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THIS ISSUE. BUT DEALER SAID CONTROL ARM WAS VISIBLY BENT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED WITHOUT LINKING REASON FOR THE MAIN ISSUE. I SPOKE TO ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS TO HEAR THEY CANNOT DO MUCH EITHER SINCE DEALER CANNOT REPRODUCE. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE MAY BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE AT HOME WANTS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AFTER THIS INCIDENT.
