Power steering light started flashing when I turn on the car this morning, steering wheel hard to turn
Driving straight road in town going maybe 40 MPH, alert came on saying check power steering. Wheel extremely hard to manuever, barely turned into closest parking lot. This is extremely dangerous and needs to be recalled. My car is currently sitting at a shop waiting to be fixed, whatever that means.... $$$$$$$
Cannot turn wheel, it's very difficult
Steering locked up and power steering light came on dashboard. Turned off the engine, restarted, it was ok. It happened again and extremely difficult to turn the steering. Real safety hazard.
Check power steering system displayed and the vehicle power steering stopped working completely. Had to move steering with force.
As I was driving down a straight road, the steering wheel locked and I got a message on the dashboad. It said that the electrical power steering system may not be working. I turned off the car. I turned it back on and continued to drive. However, within 1 min, the wheel locked again. Thank god I hadnt gotten on the freeway. There could've been serious consequences as this is an extremely dangerous situation while driving. I slowly brought it back home as I had to continuously turn off and on the car to unlock wheel for 1 min. To make some turns. This should not have happened to this car that I bought less than 10 years old. I had just taken it in a couple of months ago for an oil check and inspection.
On my way to work last night while driving in the highway, my steering wheel locked, making it impossible for me to turn. Then lights starting flashing on the dashboard saying check power steering system. I was afraid for my life as this is dangerous. I did safely make it to work. At this time I am unable to find a recall for this problem which is odd because this is definitely not a consumer's fault. It's a system failure.
The automatic steering stopped working when I was trying to reverse out of the parking lot. Car was only parked for 15 minutes in the lot. Car only has 32k
Our non-moving vehicle was involved in a hard rear-end collision at a in city traffic waiting to make a legal turn. A week later vehicle lost steering mobility. We had baton rouge, la acura dealership run a diagnostic. They failed to determine if the failure was directly associated with rear-end collision. I would say so. That is fine lil tough car. We are the second owners. All we have had to do is preventive maintenance and change a battery. Acura cars at 88k miles do not have electrical component steering problems. At the time an owner of a 2008 tsx had 179k miles with no problems. Our household had to experience more than a$1700 unexpected expense. Spoke with an the federal safety agency rep last week. She mentioned the steering system is under warranty for that model year (2013). Help
