Consumer Description

I HAD JUST FINISHED RIGHT TURN AND WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD, THE WARNING LIGHT FOR EPS CAME ON AND ALL ASSIST LOST. DROVE 3 MILES HOME, TURNED CAR OFF IN DRIVEWAY WHILE CALLING DEALER AND WHEN IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED, ASSIST RETURNED. DRIVE ABOUT ONE MILE AND LOST ASSIST AGAIN. ON WAY TO DEALER, STRAIGHT HIGHWAY DRIVING, SOME ASSIST RETURNED BUT WHEEL WOULD NOT CENTER STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO INDICATION BEFORE HAND. MY TSX HAS 52,078 MILES ON IT. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THE EPS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED @ ~$1200. WITHOUT SIGNIFICENT STRENGTH, DRIVER'S SAFETY AT SIGNIFICANT RISK.
