Consumer Description

I HAD JUST PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND MY CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL, AND THEREFORE, DRIVE THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW EPS SYSTEM TO THE TUNE OF $1,550! THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED! FORTUNATELY, FOR ME, I WAS NOT DRIVING WHILE IT HAPPENED. SO MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! WHY HAS ACURA NOT RECALLED AND FIXED THIS PROBLEM???!!
