general problems of the 2007 Acura TL

I currently own a 2007 Acura Tl and my power steering consistently goes in and out. It is extremely difficult to steer when traveling at slow speeds, such as in a parking lot. My vehicle's VIN doesn't show that the power steering recall associated with many 2004-2008 Acura Tls affects my car, however I believe that may be the reason my power steering doesn't work very well at all. I recently had my car inspected at bianchi Honda in erie, PA for my annual inspection and they said that the only way to fix the issue that I'm having with my power steering is to replace the power steering hose etc. Can you please let me know if my car's power steering problem can be fixed? thank you.

The contact owns a 2007 Acura Tl. The contact stated that smoke started to emit from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the high pressure power steering hose was leaking over the catalytic converter. As a result, the power steering hose needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,800 and the current mileage was 64,000.

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. I think that this should be enough to include my model car as part of the recall.

Power steering leak causing smoking, & squeeking 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 priorty safety recall.

The contact owns a 2007 Acura Tl. The contact stated that smoke was seen coming from under the hood of the vehicle as the steering wheel was turned accompanied by a loud buzzing noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that there was a leak in the high pressure power steering hose and that the hose would need to be replaced. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 08v091000 (steering: hydraulic power assist: hose, piping, and connections) but was advised that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 74,000.

Same defect as 2007 Acura Tl with power steering hose has occurred in my and apparently many 2007 Acura Tl type-s recall does not include type s even though hose is same and in same location as the Tl please inform as to why.

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.
