NHTSA Complaint #11115170 — 2011 ACURA TSX

MY "CHECK POWER STEERING" LIGHT CAME ON WHILE MY CAR WAS MOVING 5MPH THROUGH A PARKING GARAGE. INSTANTLY MY WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO MOVE. AFTER PARKING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF. 5 DAYS LATER I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD THE EPS FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $2000 IN REPAIRS, AND ACURA SAID THERE WAS NO WARRANTY OR CAMPAIGN COVERAGE FOR THE COSTS. BETWEEN THE 2011 AND 2012 MODEL YEARS THERE ARE 60+ COMPLAINTS FOR LOW MILEAGE FAILURE OF EPS WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO INVESTIGATION AND SAFETY RECALL.
