2007 Acura TSX Complaints

I BEGAN HEARING A NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING BECAME "HEAVY". I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS LOW ON FLUID. I CHECKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THAT THERE A LEAK FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE BOOT ON THE STEERING RACK. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP AND HAD THE PART REPLACED WITH AN AFTERMARKET RACK FOR $1200. THE RACK FAILED WITHIN A WEEK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE LOCAL SHOP AND THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WAS JUNE 2017. TODAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN AND NOW THE RIGHT BOOT IS LEAKING. I HAVE NOT HAD TO PAY FOR THE WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS, BUT THE FACT THE ORIGINAL PART WAS DEFECTIVE IS TROUBLING. I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH ACURA TSXS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER REPLACEMENT FREE OF CHARGE TO THE OWNER.

THE CAR HAD NOT GIVEN ME ANY WARNING OR NOTHING. DRIVING FINE DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONE DAY GOING ABOUT 45 MPH, I GO TO MAKE A TURN AND ITS HARD AS HELL. MY CAR STARTS SOUNDING ALL CRAZY AND IM STRUGGLING TO TURN THE WHEEL. I PULL OVER AND ALL MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS GONE, LEAKED OUT! NOW I HAVE READ REPORT AFTER REPORT OF THIS HAPPENING. OVER AND OVER FOR THIS SAME YEAR AND TYPE OF CAR. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?????!!!!! THE BOOT JUST BUSTED. AND ITS GONNA COST ME WAY MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION! *TR
