Consumer Description

TWO DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING ACURA TSX 2012 ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD A MESSAGE WARNING CHECK POWER STEERING AND THE DRIVE WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED. IT LASTED A COUPLE OF MINUTES. TOOK THE CAR TO AN ACURA SERVICE CENTER AND HAD TO REPLACE THE ESO UNIT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH PRIORITY BEFORE PEOPLE DIE OR A TRAGEDY HAPPENS. IT IS NOT BEING ATTENDED AS IT SHOULD AS A HIGH LIFE THREATAMING ISSUE. ACURA HAS THE NUMBERS OF THE REPLACED UNITS AND NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION. I EXPECTED MORE FROM A HIGH QUALITY COMPANY. WHAT DOES IT NEED IN ORDER TO BE CALLED IN RECALL, THIS IS AN ANTICIPATED DEATH THAT CAN BE AVOIDED.. PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATELY ACTION!
