While driving on local road approaching an intersection that leads to an onramp in oakland ca, the steering became extremely rigid, it was almost impossible to control the car by turning the steering wheel. A warning light flashed rapidly on the display panel "steering system failure". luckily I was driving at 5 to 10 mph and able to pull over. After about 30 seconds, the warning light stopped and the car's steering then performed normally. The problem occurred again within minutes and driving less than 2 miles. The mileage on the car is 66,100, the car auto oil change / B1 reminder was showing 5% remaining for the B1 service. I contacted Acura they would not accept responsibility for repairing the car even though this seems like a manufacture's problem,

Last week driving my Acura Tsx 2012 car home from work, suddenly the electronic power steering failed. I was driving on a winding road and mid sharp turn the power steering failed and I almost lost control and came close to crashing into the tree line on the side of the road. I had stop since my heart was palpitating so hard. I almost crashed into the tree line and would have been seriously injured or worse. Luckily my instincts kicked in and I was able to with all my might slow down the car and turn the wheel as hard as I could to avoid crashing. This is really dangerous and I am lucky that I came away unscathed. I took my car to the dealer and they told me that I needed to replace the whole electronic module which will cost approximately $1200 to fix/replace. This type of failure is very dangerous and something needs to be done about it.
