“Took the car for a test drive before I purchased it, no leaks and everything worked fine. The next morning I noticed a wet spot under the car, took it to the nearest shop and found out the power steering rack was leaking.”
NHTSA complaint #11298222, filed 2020-01, 110,000 miles“After getting off work my car sitting for about 8 hours, on my commute home which is approximately 6-8 minutes (city streets) my steering became very heavy and difficult. The car started to make funny sounds under the hood. Once I arrived home I notice a trail of fluid leakage so I checked the power steering reservoir and it was tapped dry, absolutely no fluid. I had to replace the entire rack and pinion because the passenger side boot had a leak due to the seal. This was not an inexpensive repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11331390, filed 2020-06, 175,000 miles“I own a 2007 Acura TSX. There is a squeaking noise coming from the steering column that is getting progressively worse. The dealer claims that Acura knows about the issue, but as of yet does not have a solution. Many owners have blogged and posted comments regarding the same issue on various websites. I am surprised that Acura has not done something about this.”
NHTSA complaint #10290780, filed 2009-11, 9,900 miles“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!”
NHTSA complaint #10930278, filed 2016-12, 120,000 miles“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. …”
