2019 Acura Rdx

While driving on a congested highway, my steering wheel lost power making it impossible to control the truck's steering. The truck spun around multiple times before crossing lanes of traffic and hitting a guardrail head on. Thankfully, others avoided hitting my vehicle which would have caused more serious injuries. As of yet, the issue hasn't been reproduced or confirmed. The insurance company will conduct the Inspection. There were no warning lamps, alerts or symptoms prior to the steering wheel losing power. The insurance company has possession of the truck.

LKAS SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS - WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT THEN SHIFT TO LEFT DRAMATICALLY AND THEN OVERSHOOT MARKERS. WILL TAKE YOU OFF THE ROAD, CAR WILL NOT STAY IN THE CORRECT LANE. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE DOUBLE YELLOW LINES AND CUTS RIGHT ACROSS THEM, SOMETIMES UNEXPECTEDLY. PAYS NO ATTENTION TO THEM DRIVING ON A 8 LANE HIGHWAY, IN THE FAST LANE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. I AM PASSING A CAR/TRUCK GOING SLOWER IN THE NEXT LANE TO MY RIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR JUST HITS THE BRAKES AND SOUNDS AN ALARM. VERY DANGEROUS, CAN BE HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO SUDDEN UNEXPECTED BRAKING. MY CAR WAS NOT CLOSE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE ONLY APPROACHING IT. I'VE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN WHEN I'M MOVING TO AN EXIT LANE WITH THE BLINKER ON. WHEN APPROACHING AN ENTRANCE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR SEES THE GUARD RAIL AS A HAZARD AND AGAIN, BRAKES HARD WHILE FLASHING THE WARNING LIGHT. E CAR, I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE SERVICE GROUP BUT AS ALWAYS THE PROBLEMS OCCUR RANDOMLY I'VE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WITH A LONER, A 2020 MODEL. WHEN APPROACHING AN ENTRANCE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR SEES THE GUARD RAIL AS A HAZARD AND AGAIN, BRAKES HARD WHILE FLASHING THE WARNING LIGHT. STUPID! THE TURN SIGNAL IS IN USE. THESE ARE VEHICLE HAZARDS CAUSED BY THE SO CALLED, ENHANCED SAFETY FEATURES, BUT WHICH, IN FACT, CREATE A SITUATION THAT IS DANGEROUS. IF ANYONE ELSE DRIVES THE CAR, I HAVE TO SPEND TIME EDUCATING THEM OF THE 'PROBLEMS' THEY MAY ENCOUNTER DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE SERVICE GROUP BUT AS ALWAYS THE PROBLEMS OCCUR RANDOMLY AND NEVER WHEN THE CAR IS IN FOR SERVICE. I'VE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WITH A LONER, A 2020 MODEL.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON, STEERING BECAME HARD ETC. GOT IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BARELY. CAR WOULDN'T RESTART, GO INTO NEUTRAL OR ANYTHING. APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE RADAR WAS FAULT AND KILLED THE CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISABLE THE RADAR. IF THE RADAR IS FAULTY IT WILL KILL ALL PROPULSION AND ALSO THROW MULTIPLE ERRORS IN THE CAR CREATING A HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH, ON A CITY STREET, AND I FELT THE CAR VEERING TO THE RIGHT. THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS SIDE SWIPING A PARKED CAR AND REALIZED THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AND OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC, SEVERAL WITNESSES CAME OVER TO MAKE SURE I WAS OKAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS, HOWEVER, WE ALL SAW THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE WHEEL WELL AND THE TIE ROD WAS BROKEN IN TWO. WITNESSES, POLICE OFFICERS WHO RESPONDED TO THE SCENE, AND THE AAA TOW TRUCK DRIVER WERE SHOCKED TO SEE THE DEFECT IN THE TIE ROD, AND ALL COMMENTED THAT HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE, OR CAUSED A FATAL CRASH AND HARM TO OTHERS. THANKFULLY THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, BUT THE FACT THAT THE TIE ROD BROKE IN A RELATIVELY NEW CAR MAKES ME EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT EVER DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN, EVEN IF IT IS SOMEHOW 'REPAIRED'.

MY 2019 RDX AWD TWICE NOW UNDER 4600 MILES HAD STEERING LOCK UP WHILE TRAVELING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. COLLISION BRAKE MITGATION SYSTEM WARNING STARTED FLASHING ON DISPLAY AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING THE CAR! LUCKY BOTH TIMES THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC!! DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THE FIRST TIME AND SAID NO RECALLS OR INCIDENTS REPORTED. HAPPENED TODAY AGAIN 7-13-29 AND HAVING CAR TOWED BACK TO DEALER.
