. I have a 2014 Rlx with paws. After turning left I have a problem where the rear wheels turn while the car was going straight down a street causing the rear end to kick out, kind of like what happens to the rear wheels when driving a car losing traction while turning on a wet surface.

I had both actuators replaced a few years ago. Recently and suddenly the steering wheel went 90 degrees right as I was driving over 60 mph, while tracking straight, and all the computer sensor warning lights started flashing--brakes, power steering, paws, lane departure, etc. Very scary. It has happened three times in the last two weeks. Took to dealer service today, and told actuators need to be replaced and perhaps the control unit. Repair xpensive, but more importantly, a potentially very dangerous situation, particularly if one attempts to correct steering wheel off center situation.

Vehicle will not shift into 3rd gear at random times - this can be when under moderate load to light load. This will limit the car to a speed to approx. 50mph, the transmission will not shift until the vehicle has slowed down 10+mph and sometimes will require you to come to a dead stop to function correctly. This has caused a handful of safety risk as you cannot force the vehicle to come to a complete stop in some instances - like merging on a highway or a highway without a shoulder. This has happened to 4 other Rlx that have been documented - Acura's response was we don't see it being a problem and will not authorize repairs at this time. - no matter my safety concerns. This has been very hard for the dealer to reproduce - it can be forcibly reproduced with heavy load - but the random lighter load examples can take 1-2 week to happen.
