Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HWY COMING HOME FROM WORK IN THE DARK & RAIN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO TAKE CONTROL. I VEERED OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED I COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL. AFTER GETTING IT HOME & LOOKING WHAT IT COULD BE I READ THE POWER STEERING. AFTER READING SEVERAL FORUMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE & YEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS BEHIND DANGEROUS & I COULDN'T IMAGINE IF I COULDN'T TAKE CONTROL. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? IT'S A WHOLE FORUM ON THIS WHERE PEOPLE COULD HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT JUST TAKE POWER STEERING FLUID SO IT WOULD NOT BE AN EASY FIX. NOW IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN MY WHEEL. I REACHED OUT TO ACURA BUT GOT NO RESPONSE.
