THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND ALTHOUGH ITS A 2011 IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES. RECENTLY WE WERE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE (WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN) AND THE "CHECK POWER STEERING" MESSAGE CAME ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY, AND RIGHT AFTER THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN/LOCKED UP. WE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE NEXT EXIT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, AS IT SUGGESTED - AND IT FIXED IT TEMPORARILY. BUT IT DID THE SAME THING TWO MORE TIMES ON SECONDARY ROADS AS WE LIMPED THE CAR HOME. LUCKILY WE WERENT FAR AWAY. HER MECHANIC…

2012 ACURA TSX SPORTS WAGON (~31K MILES) - FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS). LAST WEEK I PARKED THE VEHICLE WITH WHEELS TURNED TO THE LEFT AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER FEW MINUTES, THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK. DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN (COMPLETE FAILURE) A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET WITH MY FAMILY.

WHILE OUT ON A SHOPPING TRIP I STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR AND ALARM DISPLAYED. I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL OF THE CAR TO EXIT MY PARKING SPACE SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR ONTO THE FLATBED. MY MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MODULE HAD FAILED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. THE CAR HAS 59K MILES AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. THE WEATHER WHEN THIS OCCURRED WAS CLEAR. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH ACUR…

LUCKILY I WAS MAKING A VERY SLOW LEFT TURN WHEN MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED IN MY ACURA TSX WAGON. I WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE SITTING HERE WRITING ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE IF I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. MY HEART WAS POUNDING OUT OF MY CHEST AS A STRUGGLED TO PULL OVER. THIS IS SO UNACCEPTABLE AND THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
