Power steering system malfunction. Warning light went on with no other warning and rendered vehicle undrivable due to no steering function.
While driving my 2011 Acura Tsx wagon on 10 July 2021, the power steering failure indicator light came on while crossing a bridge and my power steering immediately failed. After the vehicle was towed home, I searched the manual and found there is no power steering reservoir to check for fluid. So I researched youtube and found that this power steering has been a major problem with this vehicle. This is extremely dangerous and as I was on a bridge the danger was even greater as I could not pull over. I managed to safely exit but could not pull into a parking lot as there was not enough distance to keep the vehicle moving and I was unable to turn the wheel while the vehicle was almost at a standstill. When I got the car home, I researched how to correct the problem. Since the manual was useless, I turned to youtube and proceeded to check the fuse first. It was not blown. The steering control module needs to be replaced and the authorized dealership wants $1500 to $2000 to replace. My car has been well maintained and just turned 80,000 miles. This is a safety issue and could have put me in a very dangerous situation since I was unable to steer my vehicle! please contact my husband as soon as possible about replacing the power steering module as I need the use of my car! you can reach him at (860) 250-4751 or email austinh3@msn.

On 11/19/19 my car was parked at a grocery store. When I got in to start it I got a flashing message regarding the electric power steering: 51. I couldn't really move the steering wheel and thankfully I was not driving. I had to had the car towed home. Upon looking into this I can see this has happened to a lot of people. The same year, make and model within the same mileage range as me. I have a 2011 Acura Tsx with 75,000 miles. There is no reason this should be happening, I have had every required maintenance. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. Acura needs to do the right thing and recall this so they can fix it. Why would anyone owing this car ever buy another Acura knowing that with no fault of their own this can happen to them. Needless to say I have an appointment on 01/02/2020. The dealership said there is a "bulletin" regarding this issue. They are clearly aware of this problem.
The contact owns a 2011 Acura Tsx. While driving approximately 67 mph, the power steering seized without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that an appointment was pending with hendrick Acura (located at 6824 e independence blvd, charlotte, nc 28227, (980) 242-5667). The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000. Piir=y.
I have a 2011 Acura Tsx. The electronic power steering keeps malfunctioning while driving in moving traffic. It appears the electric power steering (eps) module is malfunctioning. This is a known problem with this model Acura. Acura is well aware of this issue, yet has done nothing to remedy this safety issue. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of complaints about the eps. Acura still has not issued a recall. This is a serious (and dangerous) problem. The steering can just working without notice at highway speeds making the car uncontrollable. Will it cost someone's life before Acura issues a recall for this known problem with their vehicle? if Acura does not fix this problem, someone will get killed driving their Acura, and by then it will be too late.
Power steering completely went out while driving. Steering wheel won't turn at all. Light going off about power steering malfunction.
While driving and almost ending up in a accident to where I could injury myself or someone else my car immediately said check power steering and the steering wheel locked as well then the dealership chargers 1500. 00 just not safe and over priced repair to something that gives you know warning.
My "check power steering" light came on while my car was moving 5mph through a parking garage. Instantly my wheel became very hard to move. After parking and turning the car off/on the problem resolved itself. 5 days later I was traveling down a residential road the eps failed again. The dealership quoted me $2000 in repairs, and Acura said there was no warranty or campaign coverage for the costs. Between the 2011 and 2012 model years there are 60+ complaints for low mileage failure of eps while driving. This problem should be subject to investigation and safety recall.
I am installing a third eps module and they keep failing. Acura needs to initiate a recall for the power steering issue. There are some many people having this same issue.
Got my eps system replaced about 1 years ago paid 1300 to fix now it seems to be a known issue recently my steering gets hard some days and other days its smooth dont know what to do I cant afford another 1300 for something that is know to be failing.
Steering wheel clicks when I turn and when I start my car up after letting it sit for a couple of hours, it makes a rattle sound in the engine. The rattle sound is the sound a engine make when the oil is low or not getting to the pistons.
The steering went out in my car when I was driving on the interstate. My car is 6 years old with 100,000 miles and I had to replace the steering module for $1300. This seems odd to me for this to happen in a newer car.
