February 2020 going downhill at 30mph on a curved road, and my wheel snaps to the right thanks to recalled ball joints!!!!!!!!! hit the curb, snapped my rotor in half and the brake line. Lower control arm went thru my cradle. Spinning out of control with no steering and no freaking brakes at all. Out of nowhere! totaled suspension all the way around. Only freakin airbag to go off was the passenger window airbag. Whole car was [xxx] because of manufactor issues! sounds like Acura should replace my freaking car. Oh wait.. I did. And today the one im driving right now randomly had the power steering explodeeeeee and I almost got hit by a semi while turning and randomly losing steering out of nowhere once again!! which fried my cooling fan, and overheated my motor on my attempt to drive home with no power steering.... so yeah.

Brakes feel spongy even after multiple brake bleeding as well as a master cylinder replacement. People on Acura TL type S forums are reporting that air is being introduced through the vsa/ABS modulator.

The contact owns a 2008 Acura TL. The contact stated the brakes made a loud squeaking noise while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure and the dealer advised that the noise was normal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was found that the vehicle's rotors were not the correct size and caused brake pad to become misaligned. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 95,000. The VIN was not available.
