2011 Acura TSX Complaints

WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR DID NOT HAVE POWER STEERING. TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. WARNED LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND NOT POWER STEERING. TURNED CAR OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 MINUTES, WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON AND POWER STEERING SEEMED TO BE WORKING. PULLED CAR INTO PARKING LOT AND DROVE AROUND PARKING LOT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. POWER STEERING WORKING AND NOT WARNING LIGHTS ON. PULLED BACK ON MAIN ROAD (9:30 P.M.) AND WHEN REACHED APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, WARNING LIGHTS CAME BACK AND NOT POWER STEERING IN CAR. PULL OVER AND HAD CAR TOWED IN FOR SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 ACURA TSX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED ACURA OF HONOLULU AT 808-829-3073 (3251 N NIMITZ HWY, HONOLULU, HI 96819), BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE OR RETURN CALL FROM THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

I AM INSTALLING A THIRD EPS MODULE AND THEY KEEP FAILING. ACURA NEEDS TO INITIATE A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE. THERE ARE SOME MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

I HAD RETURNED HOME FROM VISITING MY DAUGHTER, AND PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIRTY MINUTES LATER I RETURNED TO MY CAR TO DRIVE IT TO TOWN AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR WAS LIT UP. I HAD LOST POWER STEERING. CAR IS SEVEN YEARS OLD WITH 100K MILES. I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER SINCE WE DON'T HAVE AN ACURA DEALER. THEY QUOTED ME 3K TO REPAIR. I SAID THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE. SHORT OF REPLACING THE ENGINE IN A CAR, NO REPAIR SHOULD COST THAT. I BOUGHT ACURA BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE RELIABLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. SERVICE PERSON SUGGESTED I TRADE IT IN INSTEAD OF PUTTING THAT MUCH INTO IT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! SO, I GUESS I WILL BE DRIVING WITHOUT POWER STEERING.

STEERING WHEEL CLICKS WHEN I TURN AND WHEN I START MY CAR UP AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, IT MAKES A RATTLE SOUND IN THE ENGINE. THE RATTLE SOUND IS THE SOUND A ENGINE MAKE WHEN THE OIL IS LOW OR NOT GETTING TO THE PISTONS.
