What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 acura tl. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle began to smoke. There was no fire and the fire department was not contacted. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the power steering pump fluid was leaking into the catalytic converter. The contact was advised that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 08v091000 (steering).
The steering wheel stop functioning while driving without any reason. It's scary situation when driving on the road.
