Owner report 10555825 · 2013-12-12 (December 12, 2013)
DEER WERE CROSSING THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE ON THIS VEHICLE TO TURN OFF OR DIM HEADLIGHTS UNLESS VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR PARKING BRAKE IS ON (HENCE A COMPLETE STOP). DEER FROZE IN THE HEADLIGHTS AND I HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO HAVE THE DEER SAFELY MOVE ON (ONCE LIGHTS WERE OUT). THIS IS A HAZARD TO ME, ANYONE BEHIND ME AND OTHER DRIVERS TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. TURNING OFF THE HEADLIGHTS WHILE MOVING WILL KEEP THE DEER MOVING MOST OF THE TIME. ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS HAS …

AT LESS THAN 1000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED TO INTERMITTENTLY ALERT ME TO BRAKE WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND THERE IS A CAR IN THE BLINDSPOT WHEN NONE THERE. THESE ISSUES HAVE CONTINUED FOR THE TWO YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR WEEKS AT THE TIME AND CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING A LOUD SQUEAL BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THIS WAS NORMAL. AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, THEY REALIZE THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ONE OF THE COMPUTER SCREEN FREEZES A…

Owner report 11322747 · 2020-04-29 (April 29, 2020)
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…

CAR RANDOMLY STEERS ITSELF INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES OR ONTO THE ROADSIDE. ACURA DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT, REPAIR COST IS EXTREMELY HIGH. TOO DANGEROUS TO TRUST THE VEHICLE WITH THESE ISSUES. LKAS, LDW, ACC, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF. HAPPENS IN PARKING LOTS, AND COUNTRY ROADS, ON HIGHWAYS. STEERING IS ERRATIC AT ALL SPEEDS WHEN THIS OCCURS, NOT NECESSARILY OVER OR UNDER 50MPH. AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A PARKING LOT. ALL TOGETHER WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE 14 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 6 WEEKS. *TR

THE LAST MONTH OR SO, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE REAR END FISHTAILING FOR A FEW SECONDS THAT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. TODAY AFTER I PULLED OUT OF WORK, THE CAR FISHTAILED WHEN I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING-PAWS, BRAKE ASSIST,POWER STEERING, HILL,LANE DEPARTURE,ETC. THE POWER TO ENGINE WAS CUT, STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT OFF. VERY SCARY ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY. I GOT TO MY GARAGE AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT. THE ERROR CODES SHOWED REAR WHEEL STEERING BUT NOTHING FURTHER. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED AND HOW TO FIX…
