The vehicle's electronic power steering system fails and the car is near to impossible to steer when driving due to the system failing. Difficult resistance is experienced in motion on city streets, highways and being stationary.

Takata recall. After taking my car in to the Acura of orange park fl to have airbag system checked related to the recall the repair was made and a week later the indicator light came on again. I called the dealership to advise and was told to bring it back which I did and was told the recall repair was made. However, the switch is faulty and needed to be replaced for a cost. I then called the corporate office and was told to return it at which time I was told that isn't covered in the recall. Now I don't know if the airbag system indicator is accurate or not because the light comes on and off daily as I drive.

Turned corner in large center city and hit a construction large pot hole and/or obstruction on the left rear. After completing turn onto a narrow one-way street acceleration increased, brakes did not work, engine could not be turned off, gears could not move. After going through two major intersections without accident I kept pulling on the emergency brake. The car slowly stopped and was then perfectly normal. Could use the brakes, shift, etc. I parked overnight in a garage. Had the car towed to dealer the next day (7/21/12), where it is still unresolved. Dealer said car is ok, but is now being analyzed by Acura corporate engineers. I had three other people who were in the car at the time, including my wife, who will not ever go into this car. The car was only 10 days after purchasing.
