Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, THE "CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM" WARNING CAME ON. I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS ERRATIC AND FELT I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CONTROL ANY LONGER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED ASIDE AND TRIED TO SEARCH FOR THE WARNING. I TOOK IT TO MY ACURA DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $1200 TO FIX THE EPS MODULE. I WAS SHOCKED BY THE COST AND HOW QUICKLY THE SYSTEM FAILED. MY CAR IS 2012 ACURA TL WITH ABOUT 95K MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OF MY OTHER CARS. I HAVE OWNED TWO ACURA IN THE PAST. WITH THIS ISSUE, I HAVE TO GET IT FIXED. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA/ACURA. DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE TO BEAR THIS COST...BUT RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
