File date | 06/10/14 |
Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Steering rack is popping loudly and rapidly going out. Car is barely 100k. I've seen several reported cases where the steering rack requires replacing in this model vehicle and all cases were at or below 100k. This is certainly a safety issue and several acuras have this issue and there are a few related tsbs for power steering, but no recall or further action has been taken to date. This is an expensive issue that requires attention. No vehicle's steering or related parts should fail so soon. It's unrealistic to hope for a vehicle that lasts forever, but a recall warranty to 150k should be issued. |
