I was driving and a lot of warning lights came on, on the dash and 10 different warning messages in the message center. The alignment instantly messed up jerking my car to the right and I had to try to gain control and correct. Luckily, I was only going about 25-30mph and was able to correct. If this would have occurred moving faster the outcome could have been very different. Dealership is stating it is the P-AWS actuator on my 2018 Acura TLX that have gone out and caused this to occur. Appears to be an issue many have encountered with two different Acura models according to what I have found online and a costly repair of $6,000. Someone could really have been hurt with this issue if going at a speed of normal driving or on a freeway.

There are so many lights flashing, my vehicle will not go over 50MPH, My steering wheel is no longer straight its actually to the left. I brought it to Acura and they are stating its a REAR TOE ACTUATOR issue and refuse to cover the $5,100 fee to fix this issue that has had a SAFETY BULLETIN posted for a 2015 TLX. There has been a bulletin about this according to Carvana so ACURA is aware of this issue but refuse to recall this issue. Warning lights are as follow, BRAKE SYSTEM ISSUE, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, Adaptive Cruise Control problem, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, PRECISION ALL WHEEL STEER PROBLEM, POWER STEERING FAILURE. This vehicle only has 46,987 miles.
