What owners wrote
Tl* 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.
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.
