ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VISIBILITY/WIPER
TAKATA RECALL: PROBLEMS OCCUR ON REGULAR ROADS, LOCAL AREAS, CITIES. THE CAR'S WINDOW, THE LEFT PASSENGER SIDE BEHIND THE DRIVER, IS FAIL. IT DOESN'T GO UP OR DOWN ANY MORE. IT BEGAN COUPLE YEARS AGO, AND WE HAD TO TO PAY FOR THE CAR REPAIR PERSON TO PULL IT UP ONLY. YET, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY PULLED DOWN AGAIN AND LEAVES A SPACE THAT CAN'T NOT PROTECT PASSENGERS INSIDE. AIR, HEAT, ANY WEATHER PROBLEM OR ANY CONSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTS INJECTING/FLOWING FREELY IN/OUT. OTHER PROBLEM IS "VSA" AND "TRIANGLE" LIGHTS ON. IT STARTED FROM LAST YEAR WHEN I HAD ITS TIRES REPLACED. MECHANICS DOUBLE CHECKED AND CONFIRMED ME THAT THIS CAR WAS TOO SENSITIVE TO DO ANY TIRE JOB. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE SENSOR SYSTEM, IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM.

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE RIGHT HAND (PASSENGER) SIDE OF THE DASH VERY CLOSE TO THE AIR BAG. I AM SCARED THAT THE AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE AT ANY MINUTE. ACURA SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS VEHICLE IS KEPT IN A GARAGE AND NOT DRIVEN EVERYDAY.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN JUNE OF 2014. I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. AS I WAS DRIVING A SUBURBAN (BELIEVE) TURNED IN FRONT OF ME. TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY BUT DIDN'T QUITE MAKE IT. I HIT THE SIDE OR BACK OF HIS VEHICLE . I FELT LIKE I HIT A BRICK WALL WITH MY FACE. THAT WAS MY FACE HITTING THE AIR BAG.I WAS ON THE SERVICE ROAD LEAVING THE MALL. I DON'T THINK THE DATE I WROTE IN ON THIS FORM IS CORRECT. I'M NOT SURE OF THE DAY.

STEERING
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE "ELETRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM" LIGHT WENT ON. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER AT ALL. I HAD TO USE ALL MY ENERGY ALONG WITH BODY WEIGHT TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT SO THAT I COULD PARK ALONG THE CURB. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE LANE. I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOOK ME THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE 32-09 (POWER STEERING MODULE FAILURE). THEY QUOTED ME $900. VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA AND ACURA. IT CAN BE LIFE THREATEN ISSUE TO SOME PEOPLE.

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.
