Consumer Description

I HAVE A ACURA TSX 2012 - ABOUT 70,000 MILES. ONE EVENING LEAVING WORK MY CAR NOTIFIED ME THAT I NEEDED TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. MY WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO AN ACURA SERVICE CENTER. I THEN LATER LEARNED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY EPS UNIT AND MY COST WOULD BE $1028!!!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS MY VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW AND WELL MAINTAINED!!! ACURA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND REIMBURSE ME! IT COULD'VE BEEN LIFE CHANGING FOR ME IF THIS HAPPENED WILL ON A MAIN HIGHWAY, ETC!!! UNACCEPTABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE!
