2012 Acura TSX Electrical system Problems

“While I was driving, the power steering malfunctioned and I almost got into a car accident as I could not turn my car. I was lucky but my life could have been in serious danger because of Acura. This is not a very old car and does not have a lot of mileage. The car had to be towed to a mechanic and said it would cost $1850 to fix. Ridiculous.”

“I had an accident in the snow and slid into the guardrail while turning. Not much body damage, but the steering completely locked. Was stuck in the road for 2 hours with the police having to block off around me. Had it towed to my mechanic. He could not do anything with it because he said it was electrical and could not clear the code that was coming up and needed to go the dealership.had to have it towed to the dealership. They are replacing the steering.”

“While driving on the busiest freeway in cleveland, ohio (7/23/17); an error popped up on my Acura TSX saying check power steering system, and I immediately lost all power steering of my vehicle. I was able to pull the wheel (with great force) to the side of the road, and read the owner's manual. It said that there's a problem with the electrical power steering of the vehicle and to shut off the car and turn it back on to see if the error resets. Thankfully the error went away. …”

“I was driving on a side street, roughly 25mph when my power steering light came on and the vehicle's steering locked up. I pulled over and quickly read the manual, which said to restart the car and if the light goes off, the car is ok. After doing so, the car was steering as expected and I was able to return home safely. The car was fine for 2 days. The third morning, I am leaving for work and driving on a side street and the same thing happened - the light came on and the vehicle's steering seized, except this time restarting did not help. …”

“I have a Acura TSX 2012 - about 70,000 miles. One evening leaving work my car notified me that I needed to check the power steering system. My wheel was completely locked and I had to get it towed to an Acura service center. I then later learned that I need to replace my eps unit and my cost would be $1028!!!!! This is unacceptable as my vehicle is fairly new and well maintained!!! Acura needs to fix this issue and reimburse me! It could've been life changing for me if this happened will on a main highway, etc!!! Unacceptable for this vehicle!”
