While driving straight on rural road alarm panel displaying check power steering system, alarm and audible and visual alarm blinking repeatedly, complete loss of power steering control while driving, luckily I had just pulled off a major busy highway onto a backroad when the problem occurred.

While driving, the electric power steering failed not allowing a safe pull over to the side of road. Car was then stopped in a busy morning commute traffic. The system failed on three separate days. The first two days restarting the vehicle reset the power steering but the third time there was no reset. Car was towed to an Acura dealership where the electronic power steering control unit was replaced at a cost of $1,026.29. The vehicle has 59,711 miles. No trouble code was recorded and was considered intermittent by aaa service center and likely to return. Because we were driving in city morning commute traffic, the speed was low but this could have occurred while driving the posted 45 mph speed or on a local interstate highway at 70 mph that could have been catastrophic. This is a major safety defect on my vehicle.

The power steering on the car failed without warning. It appears the eps system has failed without warning. This is very dangerous and will cause a death or accident on the road.

The car lost power steering completely while highway driving. Steering almost impossible to manage and a weaker/smaller/frail individual could not. Turning from a stop even more difficult. No warnings were given and the car was maintained religiously. The vehicle did have 109,000 miles but I have noticed numerous incidents reported online about the same problem with fewer miles. Power steering should be something that lasts the life of the car. This particular power steering involves a "module" that appears to fail frequently and can result in repairs totaling $3500. Most people will not be able to afford that cost. My mechanic also states he believes this is a much more frequent issue than is being reported since most just consider it a maintenance item. Power steering failure is not a routine issue.

Lost power steering while driving. Also at the same time tire pressure monitoring system lit up saying tires were low, when checked the tires were at proper pressure.

Eps failure while driving the car started to beep and the steering failure light turned on in the dash. The steering felt like it locked up, but it was just very very very hard to turn the wheel. I had to stop in the middle of the street and wait for help. When the car was turned back on everything was fine!! (crazy). 2 days later stopped at my mailbox after work and it went crazy again. Turned the car off and back on and it whent away again. Took the car to the Acura dealer but they could replicate the problem. On the way home stopped for food and I got stuck in the drive through (I could not turn the wheel to manuever out of the drive through).

The contact owns a 2013 Acura TL. While driving approximately 40 mph, the steering warning indicator illuminated and the steering seized. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 111,000. The VIN was not available.
