NHTSA Complaint #11002006 — 2012 ACURA TSX

LAST WEEK DRIVING MY ACURA TSX 2012 CAR HOME FROM WORK, SUDDENLY THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS DRIVING ON A WINDING ROAD AND MID SHARP TURN THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND CAME CLOSE TO CRASHING INTO THE TREE LINE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD STOP SINCE MY HEART WAS PALPITATING SO HARD. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE TREE LINE AND WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. LUCKILY MY INSTINCTS KICKED IN AND I WAS ABLE TO WITH ALL MY MIGHT SLOW DOWN THE CAR AND TURN THE WHEEL AS HARD AS I COULD TO AVOID CRASHING. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND I AM LUCKY THAT I CAME AWAY UNSCATHED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ELECTRONIC MODULE WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1200 TO FIX/REPLACE. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.
