Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED WITH NO TRAFFIC WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL WENT STIFF AND THE CAR BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. MY DASHBOARD FLASHED A WARNING LIGHT AND A MESSAGE READING 'CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM!' I HAD TO EXIT THE FREEWAY CAREFULLY AS MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD BARELY MOVE. I NARROWLY MISSED HITTING SEVERAL CARS AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY. MY CAR JUST HIT 70,000 MILES LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I HAVE YET TO GET A REPAIR ESTIMATE FROM ACURA, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP AS THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE PARTICULAR ACURA MODELS.
