2007 Acura TL Steering Problems

“I was driving to the store today and as I drive into the lot my steering wheel started making a buzzing, whining sound, I popped the hood to find that the power steering hose was leaking a lot of fluid. After I parked the car the fluid was leaking a lot more and drippun all over the catalytic converter, engine, axles. I've already spent over 250.00 replacing it at firestone before I found out the car has a recall for the exact same issue and part. It is a used car.”

“I was at the dealership to get my car service and found out that my power steering hose is leaking which in 2004 -2008 Acura TL recall but since I have 2007 Acura TL type s it is not under recall. Well it seems like my hose deteriorated and got worn out after 63,000 miles and now there is a leak which could potential cause major damage and lead to a fire. Dealer is telling me its not under recall when it happens to be the exact same hose pipe.”

“Nhtsa recalls 12v-222 and 08v-091 were enacted to address safety concerns about the power steering pump and associated hoses for certain 2007-2008 Acura tls. For some reason, my VIN is not included in the recalls. However, I am experiencing the same symptoms as described by both recalls. So I have questioned Acura as to why my vehicle was not addressed as part of the recall but I have received no satisfactory answer other than to point out that my vehicle is outside of the warranty period and therefore the responsibility of the owner.”

“The main power steering hose developed a leak. I own a type s model and according to the local dealership the recall does not apply to my vehicle. This is odd do to the fact that my hose deteriorated in the same manner described in the recall. Many other 2007 and 2008tl type s owners reported the same problem. The new hose installed has a heat shield in the area affected. Obviously they are aware of the problem. Heat caused by the engine near the hose is causing the deterioration. I understand that this also a fire hazard. This was reported online and by the service rep at the dealership. …”

“Power steering leak causing smoking, & squeaking along with difficult steering. There is a current recall on 2007 Acura TL but american honda says it does not apply to the s-type. Not true, myself & several other TL-type s owners have had the same problem. If this leads to a fire, I will seek punitive damages against all parties who fail to address this high priority safety recall.”
