Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND I ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AS I COULD NOT TURN MY CAR. I WAS LUCKY BUT MY LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS DANGER BECAUSE OF ACURA. THIS IS NOT A VERY OLD CAR AND DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF MILEAGE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND SAID IT WOULD COST $1850 TO FIX. RIDICULOUS.
