What owners wrote
My vehicle's steering wheel makes a moaning noise when the steering wheel turns left or right a low speeds. The acura dealer replaced the cable reel inside the steering wheel hub but the noise continues. I am afraid this noise is an indication that something inside the steering wheel will wear out eventually and cause loss of vehicle control.
Rack and pinion (steering rack) leaking. Multiple acura tsx from 2004-2008 will most likely run into this problem. Seen a few complaints on social media from various acura tsx owners from 2004-2008 models. Very high cost to replace and dangerous if steering rack fails. Bought from dealership a few months back at 111k miles, now at 115k only.
