2013 Acura TSX steering complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 acura tsx. The contact stated that the steering wheel seized without warning and became difficult to turn in either direction. Spreen acura (8101 auto dr, riverside, ca 92504, (951) 335-8955) was notified and indicated that the manufacturer had not issued a steering recall. The vehicle was not covered by a warranty for servicing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
While I was in motion and turning my car right to park, the power steering light went on and the steering wheel stopped responding. After starting the car three times, the power steering worked again. I drove the car on the street for 10 minutes and my power steering suddenly stopped working. My car could not turn and could only go straight while I was in motion. I was on a very busy intersection, so I tried to turn right into a small road. The turn was very wide since the steering wheel didn't work and I almost hit another car head on. My car was stuck on a busy city street.
The electronic steering module failed at 45000 miles. It is a very expensive fix and acura is not willing to help. It appears to be a common problem because vehicles seem to be computers more than anything these days.
Power steering system abruptly cut out as I was driving down the highway. Stop and go traffic. I was forced to try and get the vehicle off to the side of the road with no power steering in rush hour traffic.
The power steering light went on when I started the car. Tried to drive the car and it was very stiff.the car was hard to drive above 20 MPH. The next morning the light was off and the steering was normal. Went to dealer and they stated the eps needed to be replaced at $ 1,700
Takata recall I was driving home with my little brother from 4th of july activities when the power steering eps system gave out. The steering wheel locked up making it impossible to turn. Besides my car only having 61,000 miles, this could have ended very bad as I was on a very busy road. My car warranty was up to 60k, I have seen multiple people having the same issue right around the same mileage.yet for some reason this is not a recall. People are at risk and it's only a matter of time before something tragic happens. This does not make you trust in a brand you thought puts the customer and brand name first.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 acura tsx. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering waring light illuminated.the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electrical system failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000. ......updated 12/17/15 *bf; updated 04/20/18*jb *cn the conusmer stated the power steering failed while driving.
Eps steering issues first reported to acura approximately 250 miles. Hood vibration issues at 3800 miles. Electronic power steering stability tracking issues, automobile cannot be driven in straight line. The eps system in this VIN platform and many other manufacturers has serious & well documented straight line driving and crosswind stability issues due to inherent design and engineering flaws in the eps system as compared to hydraulic steering systems. Passing big rigs traveling in opposite direction on two lane highways, car being pushed excessively toward outside right edge of road due to eps stability tracking issues & entire hood assembly lifting and vibrating vertically about 1" very fast especially at leading edge closest to windshield as if flexing and trying to pull from its hinges and front locking latch. Occurred 5 times on one highway and 4 times on open cross country interstates in crosswinds and accompanied by loud howling sound from hood vibration when winds travel through engine compartment. "flutters" often on open interstate highways when not vibrating violently. Have talked with 4 owners that have experienced same issues. Acura has known of problem for 5 years and issued carefully worded tsb10-103 in april 2009 with cheap "band aide" fix of adding rubber gasket that didn't solve real problem of hood flexibility engineering flaw. Very scary experience when not expecting. Hood is 19 square feet of very flimsy braced sheet metal weighing 42#. If structure detaches while driving at interstate speeds it basically becomes a flying guillotine. Can provide more detailed information on factory body weld assembly issues, hood vibration issues and eps issues but character limitations on this form will not allow space.
