NHTSA Complaint #11113399 — 2012 ACURA TSX

I HAVE A 2012 ACURA TSX THAT HAS HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES BEFORE THIS ONE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE MESSAGE CHECK POWER STEERING CAME ACROSS THE DASH. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MODULE FAILED CAUSING MY STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I NO LONGER HAD CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 100 COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS, AND WHILE DRIVING. I LIVE IN THE UPSTATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND THERE IS MAJOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION GOING ON. THIS MEAN NO EMERGENCIES LANES, ONLY TWO LANE AND CONCRETE DIVIDERS SO THERE IS NO WAY TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THEREFORE THIS IS A FATAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT FOR A RECALL SO THAT NO ONE LOSES THERE LIFE BECAUSE ACURA WOULD RATHER KEEP CHARGING PEOPLE $1,500.00 TO FIX IT INSTEAD OF REPORTING A RECALL FOR A FAULTY PART.
