Consumer Description

MY TSX IS CLOSE TO 80K MILES. I HAVE HAD NO SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR UNTIL NOW. I STARTED MY CAR ONE MORNING AND SAW A "CHECK POWER STEERING" NOTIFICATION AND THE POWER STEERING ICON ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. ONE SHOP ATTEMPTED TO RESET THE EPS (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) SYSTEM AND MAKE SURE THE VOLTAGES LOOKED OK. THIS WORKED FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE I HAD THE SAME "CHECK POWER STEERING" NOTIFICATION AND LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THIS WILL RESULT IN A FIX IN THE REALM OF $2000 FOR A TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK. I'M VERY UNPLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT ACURA HAS NOT ISSUED SOME SORT OF RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE LARGE AMOUNT OF ISSUES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO MINE. ACURA WAS VERY PROMPT WITH FIXING MY TAKATA AIRBAG, BUT AFTER THIS I HAVE TO SAY I AM NO LONGER IMPRESSED.
