What owners wrote
I am installing a third eps module and they keep failing. Acura needs to initiate a recall for the power steering issue. There are some many people having this same issue.
While driving at approximately 45 MPH my power steering abruptly failed. The "check power steering" indicator came on. The steering wheel immediately locked up. I was able to get the car into a nearby store parking lot but steering ability was almost nonexistent. I had the car towed to my acura dealer who looked at the car and told me the electronic power steering component had failed and would need to be replaced. I researched this online and found that this seems to be a common problem with this make and model.
