Steering Problems of Acura TL - part 2

February 2020 going downhill at 30mph on a curved road, and my wheel snaps to the right thanks to recalled ball joints!!!!!!!!! hit the curb, snapped my rotor in half and the brake line. Lower control arm went thru my cradle. Spinning out of control with no steering and no freaking brakes at all. Out of nowhere! totaled suspension all the way around. Only freakin airbag to go off was the passenger window airbag. Whole car was fucked because of manufactor issues! sounds like Acura should replace my freaking car. Oh wait. . I did. And today the one im driving right now randomly had the power steering explodeeeeee and I almost got hit by a semi while turning and randomly losing steering out of nowhere once again!! which fried my cooling fan, and overheated my motor on my attempt to drive home with no power steering. . . . So yeah. Never buying another Acura again,.

2006 Acura Tl issues with component suspension:front: control arm: lower ball joint- steering: hydraulic power assist: hose, piping, and connections- cracked dashboard leaves exposures to the actual airbags on the vehicle.

Several times over a couple of days while in the middle of driving the steering wheel just froze and would not turn. The first couple of times shutting off the car and restarting brought it back however, the last time it froze completely and never came back. This car is a 2013 however it only has 30,700 miles on it. We had it diagnosed and it is the entire electronic power steering system module that needs to be replaced. I have read that others have reported this issue. Considering one of the times this happened to us was on the highway I feel this is a serious safety issue and that Acura knows about it. If it doesn't warrant a recall there should at the least be an extended warranty on this system. Not only the high expense to replace this system, more importantly my son was put into a very dangerous situation on the highway and I feel this is unacceptable.

The airbag on the passenger side has two deep cracks around the perimeter. My concern is the airbag will not work properly. My car was parked when the first crack appeared. The second crack happened while driving and I sitting on the passenger side. The steering has a loud knocking sound when the steering wheel is turned left and right.

While driving straight on rural road alarm panel displaying check power steering system, alarm and audible and visual alarm blinking repeatedly, complete loss of power steering control while driving, luckily I had just pulled off a major busy highway onto a backroad when the problem occurred.

I purchased a new 2012 Acura with 20 miles on it in sept 2012. My power steering went out in Apr 2015. I could not steer the vehicle going down a winding road. It took a lot of effort just to steer it slightly. Acura dealership where I bought it was able to replace the power steering rack and control unit under warranty. On 3/29/2019 I experienced the same issue. Thankfully I was in my driveway at the time. I turned the vehicle off and turned it back on a few minutes later. The power steering error code went off however when I steered the vehicle which in park the steering wheel would move to the left or right without the wheel turning. I then turned it off for a while and tried again and it seems to work. However, I am not comfortable with this issue as it is a real safety concern while driving. I called the recall line for Honda and they said there is no recall for this issue on this make and model. I called the dealership and they said the fix they did in 2015 is not under warranty.

My 2005 Acura Tl has lost power at least a dozen times while I have been driving on the freeway. The battery also completely drains after the car has not been driven for a day or two. I just replaced the battery and have had the alternator tested at least half a dozen times by 3 different mechanics. My issues sound very similar to the fuse box recall but my VIN does not fall under the recall apparently.

Came off work last night got into my car start it up and got a check power steering warning on my dashboard. Vehicle steering wheel is almost impossible to turn. Vehicle is not drivable. Problem occur while vehicle was stationary in a parking lot. Turn vehicle off after a few minutes and restart vehicle and problem went away. Same exact thing happened again this morning while vehicle was stationary.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Acura Tl. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle became difficult to steer without warning. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 240,000.

Power steering spit out oil everywhere.

I own Acura Tl 2012. Last week when I was driving I suddenly saw the steering wont turn all of a sudden. It became so hard to turn the steering. Luckily I was able to stop the vehicle without an accident. I later got the vehicle towed to Acura dealer and they diagnosed that the eps unit (electrical power steering) failed. I later did research on NHTSA's website and found that lot of Acura Tl and tsx customers of 2012 also have reported the exact same issue. This is a serious safety issue and might result in serous accidents and injuries. Shouldn't this be a manufacturer recall with so many Acura Tl 2012 customers reporting the same problem? the Acura dealer where I got the problem fixed charged me about 1000 bucks to fix the issue while it truly should be a problem that manufacturer should recall and fix.

The electric power steering went out while driving on the highway. I almost crashed when trying to move the car to a safe place. Luckily I had enough strength to steer the car without power steering but a smaller weaker person could have crashed hurting themselves and others. No warning or indication it was wearing out. The car has relatively low miles and all of the maintenance has been done on time. Acura (Honda) is aware this is a known issue and according to the dealership service department they are even willing to cover the costs of some of the repairs. They know about this issue but will not issue a recall.

On startup, power steering does not work. Very difficult to turn the wheel. Error code 32-09 came up when taken to Acura dealership, and dealership claims they cannot duplicate issue after car was towed there. Issue reoccured after 8 short trips. Low mileage on the car.

I have some suspension related issues that have recently been diagnosed that are included in the NHTSA campaign # 11e022000 but when I type in my VIN# on your website it says there are no recalls for this item on my 2008 Acura Tl. I have another diagnosed issue with the steering from your recall # 08v091000 and there is no listing for this recall on my vehicle on your website. I was told that I was losing power steering fluid due to intense heat and that the power steering hose is deteriorating. This is very dangerous for me to drive my vehicle, yet see the recall is for certain 2008 models. Who can help me with this? another diagnosed issue is the powertrain recall # 04v176000 that is also not listed for my vehicle. I am having problems with the gears and am worried about the safety of this vehicle. I have problems with the 2nd gear. I will be notifying Honda, on all these issues, but the public needs to be aware on the determination of "certain 2008" models.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Acura Tl. The contact stated that that there was an abnormal noise when the wheel was turned in either direction. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer maguire Honda of ithaca, 315 elmira rd, ithaca, NY 14850, 607-273-1926 who had initially indicated that the front axles had corrosion, the front axles had been replaced due to a grinding and popping noise in the front of the vehcle but the faiure continued. The next repair of the carrier bearing failed to provide a permanent fix as well. The contact notified the dealer several times that the multiple repairs had failed to fix the problem because the abnormal noise continued. The contact had a warranty however the dealer had not verified if the vehicle may be repaired by a warranty. The manufacturer was notified of the failures to determine if they may be able to provide a remedy for the dealers repair. The manufacturer had issued 1 TSB on steering, 1 recall for the steering and 1 recall for the suspension. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

I am the original owner of this vehicle, and have routine maintenance performed on it at regular intervals. On July 23, 2018, approximately 4:15pm, I was exiting via reverse from a parking space at a local shopping center. I shifted the car into drive, proceeded forward at a speed of 3mph, for less than ten feet to make a slight left turn, when there was the sound of breaking metal, and the car came to a halt. The car was in drive, foot on gas, but would not move. I struggled to shift the gear into park, then restarted. The car would not go into drive, with great difficulty I got it into reverse, then rolled backwards into a handicapped parking space. The gear was now stuck in reverse, and key was locked in ignition. I immediately applied the emergency brake, turned on hazard lights, and exited the vehicle. I placed phone calls to a towing company, and my mechanic. Upon inspection, it was determined "the driver's front axle assembly snapped in two. The axle shaft had rusted underneath the vibration damper. The passenger front axle assembly looked rusted". At my direction, the mechanic replaced both front axle assemblies. Both myself and the mechanic searched for a recall, or even an update to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance/service, but found nothing. Car axles should not randomly snap in half. I have had absolutely zero issues with my vehicle leading up to the event. Thankfully, no one was harmed when this occurred. Had I been traveling in a drive lane, whether it was in the shopping center or interstate, no doubt there was going to be a catastrophic situation, resulting in bodily harm and vehicle damage to myself and others. A copy of the repair bill is attached in the record for your reference. On August 7, 2018, I reported this to Acura, reference case # 08888084.

Although my car is about 20 years old now, I've done a lot of research about the problems I've experienced and it appears cars made from 1997 experienced malfunctioning ignition switches. My key will not start my engine and has gotten stuck inside the cylinder many times. I just replaced the battery as well due to my vehicle stalling when I turn it on. There should be no reason other than the faulty machinery that's giving me all this trouble. Many of the people who have this make, model, and year have expirenced these exact issues. I believe you guys have issued a recall which is why I'm informing the company. Hopefully you can help. Thank you .

The warning lights came on and then the steering completely went out while driving. This was a very dangerous situation. My wife was barely able to get the car off the road. This happened twice. The first time, the service department replaced the battery and two days later it happened again. It turned out to be the eps module. This was very scary and dangerous.

While driving the electric power steering became tight and couldn't move steering wheel left or right. The electric power steering control module.

While sitting at a stoplight the eps (elec power steering) light came on and no power steering was available. Drove to a parking lot and turned car off/on with no effects on the error code. Was able to maneuver car to the dealer and awaiting a eps module to be replaced. The appears to be a recurring problem in this model Acura based on other reports.

Was driving at 45mph on highway when electronic power system failed on car making it incredibly difficult to steer.

My dash board keeps cracking over time in several places,new ones just pop upping up everywhere. This did not start until last year sometime around 100,000 mi. I talked to local dealership,Acura CO. And the manufacturer of their parts. They said they wont help me. This is not right. I barely drive anywhere. My car stays in garage and is very well taken care of. Never been owned/driven on the coast or FL,anywhere like that. I live in ms. All over the internet,on Acurazine,and youtube this is happening to 3rd gen Tl Acuras. Can u help me? the cost for a new dash is very expensive $3000. 00+. This is a faulty product on their part. There is no way they should get away with this or not make a recall. Are recalls a thing of the past? iv had several problems not of my making that I just paid to have fixed but I am sick of this. Car manufacturers should not be allowed to do this to people. They just blow us of!and with those of us who take care of our cars, this means their defects arent goin to occur until much later after any warranty has passed. I assure u this is not from general wear or user error. My car stays inside garage,I very rarely drive it and I keep it waxed just as ones look on a car lot. Because I have a truck that I drive mainly the car is rarely used. Iv hardly put any miles on car since iv owned it. Everywhere everyone that owns this model Acura says its happening. I assure u this car does not stay in sunlight,has never been around harsh environments. There is nothing that any driver does to create user error that concerns"cracking all over the dash board"from left side all the way to rt side, top and bottom. Just long big cracks appearing out of no where every other month now. Never have I seen this on any car with well over 100,000 miles. Never. Many others say the same thing. This type of theivery and quality should not go on.

While driving to work on the highway, the "check power steering system" warning came on. I noticed the steering was erratic and felt I didn't have much control any longer. I immediately pulled aside and tried to search for the warning. I took it to my Acura dealer and was quoted $1200 to fix the eps module. I was shocked by the cost and how quickly the system failed. My car is 2012 Acura Tl with about 95k miles. I have never had this happen to any of my other cars. I have owned two Acura in the past. With this issue, I have to get it fixed. It seems like this is a manufacturer defect and should be covered by Honda/Acura. Disappointed to have to bear this cost. . . But rather be safe than sorry.

I was driving my vehicle on the highway to work and my electronic power steering went out I almost hit a tractor trailer and it caused me to have a panic attack because it all happened so fast I did not know what to do besides slam on the brakes. This issue could of potentially caused my death or other peoples death or injury , this could of ended out bad. Can you please contact me ASAP regarding this issue. And there should be a recall on the electronic power steering system because any Acura owners with high miles on the vehicles could end up having this same issue and could end up being a law suit.

Over the years since I purchased the Acura 06 Tl I have been having problems with the battery- car won't start sometimes. I purchased a few batteries already. Finally on 7-24-2017 I was out of town (west palm beach) when my car won't start. I went to closest Acura dealer where I learned that the issue was a defective hfl that had a parasitic drain on the battery from defective hfl. Had to purchase another battery. Acura never informed me that there was a defect of hand free link. In past I had to replace the starter and power steering. Certain features still does not work- passenger front window, heating element for car seat passenger, power outlet in console box.

Vehical slips out of gears while driving on the hwy also feels like the car wheels or maybe even the transmission locks up while on the hwy . A very bad jerk , it seems like the gears are locking up for a quick second after the jerk it will proceed on . The jerks. These jerks are starting to damage my suspension and also my gears. .

Power steering leak into catalytic converter and system malfunction. Smoke from the engine.

Nhtsa 12v-222. Acura says there isn't any recall on this matter. Meanwhile, the smoke that is causing this problem makes it unbearable for us to turn on the heat or a/c because of this faulty manufacture problem.
