Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I make a left turn, my wheels and steering wheel get out of sync and this causes the car to temporarily become hard to steer. At this point, the car doesn't respond to normal steering gestures. It feels as if the car is going to veer out of the lane and it doesn't respond for me to correct it from veering off unless I turn the steering wheel completely towards the left hand traffic which is very unusual and very scary. When to correct itself, the car jerks itself as the steering wheel and tires re-allign themselves. …”
NHTSA complaint #11246196, filed 2019-08, 80,000 miles“I have a 2015 Acura RLX equipped with precision all wheel steer(PAWS). According to Acura, PAWS allows the rear wheels to move independently of the front wheels for better control and handling. The system often malfunctions and moves the vehicle in a path other than what is intended based on my steering wheel input. It is very dangerous as I do not know when the system will malfunction and I have to quickly adjust the steering wheel to correct the PAWS malfunctioning. I have brought this to the attention of my local Acura dealer and American Honda. …”
