NHTSA Complaint #11115619 — 2012 ACURA TSX

I WAS DRIVING MY TSX AND ROUNDED A CORNER AS THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL AT THIS POINT. LUCKILY, I WAS CLOSE TO MY HOUSE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NEAR MY DRIVEWAY. MY BOYFRIEND LATER WENT OUT AND STARTED THE CAR AND THE WARNING SIGN HAD DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR SEEMED TO FUNCTION AT THAT TIME. THREE DAYS LATER MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND HE NEARLY LOST CONTROL AS WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN ON THE ROAD. WE FELT VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO OTHER CARS WERE NEAR AT THE TIME. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM UTTERLY SHOCKED THAT ACURA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PART. MY CAR IS A 2012 WITH ONLY 53K MILES ON IT. I BUY ACURA VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RELIABLE AND SAFE. THIS IS JUST VERY SHOCKING THAT ACURA DOES NOT SEEM THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.
