2013 Acura TL owner complaints

I was driving my 2013 Acura Tl on my way to work and suddenly I got an electronic power steering error that resulted in my steering wheel stiff and I had to use all my strength to pull over to the emergency lane. The vehicle's steering became very heavy and was very hard to turn. I am fortunate not to be in an accident when it occurred. There is so many people with Acura TL having this issue and Acura need to do something about it.

2013 Acura tl steering got locked after check power steering system, this is very risky if I was on highway and would have happen during driving. Such problems needs to be addressed by co asap as this is life threatening to driver including passengers in vehicle during problem. Steering is locked and can't move in any direction.

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 ro

In july 2020, with 82143 miles, my power steering completely stopped working.

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.

I was driving home with my kids and the steering practically locked up, but I was still going about 50 MPH. Thankfully, we didn't get hit while I guided the car over to stop safely. The panel just told me to check the steering system... While I was trying not to get hit after losing all power to my steering with no warning while driving. Had vehicle towed home, as it was nighttime. Now I have to get it sent to someone who might tell me anything. This looks like a serious trend based off of what I've read on this sight. It's dangerous and I'm sure getting it fixed will be costly. This is a serious issue on many levels.

Could had an accident I was on the freeway and all of a sudden the light on my car came on saying that the power steering had gone out at that time I realize that I could not control the car it was hard I had to get a feel for it to turn it so I could pull off to the side and then that's when I called aaa to come and tow the car because I could not steer it. My car has 75,000 miles only. That's a major part that was a very frightening experience

I was driving my 2013 Acura tl on the interstate when I got an 'electronic power steering ' error that resulted in my steering wheel required me to use all my strength to pull over to the emergency lane. The vehicle's steering became very heavy and was very hard to turn. I am fortunate that my wife was not driving, because she would not have had the strength to pull over to the emergency lane without power steering. Acura should be ashamed of themselves to not have issued a recall for this issue.

While crossing median ahead of oncoming traffic, electric power steering lost power, leaving me unable to steer to avoid collision. Steering warning began to flash but gave no advance warning. I was not strong enough to steer the car. Engine was running. Car is available for inspection. Honda dealer said they had never seen this problem. Power steering is still inoperative and the dealer says no recalls for t his problem.

While backing out of my garage the check "electronic power system" indicator light came on as I was backing into the street out of my driveway. As I entered the street the steering wheel locked and would not let me turn the wheel to complete turning to straighten the wheels to drive forward. I was literally stuck in the middle of the street and I live on the downside of a hill so cars can't see me until they top the hill, fortunately my husband was home and helped push the car back into the driveway. Although not as scary as some of the incidents I have read about the eps module failing, I understand the fear they must have had with this happening on a busy highway or street. I now have to have my car towed to the nearest Acura dealership which is 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffi

Received diagnostic message to check power steering system. Loss control of the vehicle because I could not turn the wheel on the vehicle which almost caused an accident. My mechanic indicated that this was a computer issue and recommended that I take it to the Acura dealership for service.

The airbag warning indicator keeps appearing. When message is pressed it says that airbag may not deploy when needed. States to turn car off and restart to see if indicator disappears- if reappear take to dealership to inspect.

Pronounced "clunk" noise coming from rear of car at low speeds - between 15-40 MPH. This is a consistent issue that many people have reported in various Acura tl, tsx, and Honda accord internet forums. Many people like myself have take the car back to the dealer multiple times to have the issue researched and they either say it is "normal" (as if it is a characteristic of the car) or there is no issue. Have claimed that everything in the rear suspension is "firm" or "solid", yet the issue still remains. I have never been in a car that had such a noise when driving over street cracks, speed bumps, etc. As I said, numerous people have reported this across the internet, yet no action that I can determine either from Acura or Honda. I am worried that there is a safety issue that is being

My vehicle is equipped with HID headlights for the low beams, and halogen headlights for high beams. I have observed that when the low beams are on, the forward illumination cast by the headlights is negligible. When driving and using the highway's dividing lines as a point of reference, my car only illuminates about two "dashes" in front of the car, which is a serious safety concern. I have measured the illumination when my car is parked on a flat surface, and the lights only shine approximately 52 feet in front of the car. My understanding is that low beams should typically shine at least 160 feet in front of the car. Furthermore, I have taken my car back to the Acura dealership's service department twice since I bought the car on 3/31/13 and have complained about the headlights, an

Appears to be transmission related problem. I currently have approximately 47,xxx miles on my vehicle which I had purchased brand new. I've taken my vehicle into the dealer multiple times for the same concern but they have not been able to fix the problem. The first couple of times I took the vehicle in, I was advised there's nothing wrong with the vehicle. I took it in again and Acura stated the computer needs to be updated. Once they updated the computer it still did not fix the problem. Then Acura stated it was a torque converter and they replaced it with a new one. Instead of fixing the problem, my vehicle have gotten worst due to the whole car vibrating when the a/c is on. The problem still exist, vehicle hesitates and clunking noise and vibration comes from the engine are when drivin

The fly by wire throttle system is inconsistent in application. Sometimes in traffic when you need to accelerate, instead of lighter application of the throttle, the car waits several heartbeats before anything happens. Then catches up to the pedal position , which if you've tried to move forward and nothing happened and you've keep pushing the pedal now you're instantly at half throttle in heavy traffic. Acura says this is the way the car was designed and there's nothing they'll do about it. *jb

According to state farm, the rubber boots in the front door jams were defective. This caused the car to have a water leak into the floor boards causing all of the wiring, including the airbags wire harness to be subject to moisture, leading to future corrosion, including what is referred to gfs - green fuzzy *$#!. *tr
