NHTSA Complaint #11015993 — 2012 ACURA TSX

I DROVE FOR 20 MINUTES TO MY DESTINATION AT A SPEED OF 40 MILES PER HOUR. MY CAR WAS RESTING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHILE I WAS AT MY APPOINTMENT. WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE LOCATION, I STARTED MY CAR AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ALERT CAME ON, AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN MY WHEEL, SO I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. I LOOKED AT MY CAR MANUAL, AND IT STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE MY CAR IN IMMEDIATELY FOR MAINTENANCE. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT THE CAR SHOWS A "32-09 MOTOR CURRENT CORRELATION FAILURE," AND ADVISED THAT THE CONTROL UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE MODULE CONTROLS ARE CONTAINED, AND THAT CONTROL UNITS TYPICALLY NEVER GO BAD (60% OF CARS WAS QUOTED). HE ADVISED THAT "THEY TYPICALLY GO BAD IF SOMETHING HITS IT BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH YOUR VEHICLE." IS THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND/OR SHOULD THERE BE A RECALL?
