I have a 2015 Acura RLX equipped with precision all wheel steer(PAWS). According to Acura, PAWS allows the rear wheels to move independently of the front wheels for better control and handling. The system often malfunctions and moves the vehicle in a path other than what is intended based on my steering wheel input. It is very dangerous as I do not know when the system will malfunction and I have to quickly adjust the steering wheel to correct the PAWS malfunctioning. I have brought this to the attention of my local Acura dealer and American Honda. I now understand there is a known defect with the PAWS systems but Honda does not deem this a safety issue. There is a national backorder to have the appropriate part(s) in to remedy the issue. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle due to it's unpredictable nature and risk of causing a collision.

I have had the exact same experience as #11246196. On several occasions when making a left turn, my car steering loses control, fish tails, then all dashboard errors light up. This has happened when changing lanes on a highway and on city streets also. The car goes into limp mode, with all errors flashing. Steering wheel is in a turned position when moving forward, brought it to a friend who had a code reader, two codes were found, 27-21 steering angle sensor internal failure and 86-23 F-can communication with acc (adaptive cruise control) malfunction. This can only be cleared if battery is disconnected for a few minutes, then the car returns to normal as if nothing happened. I have researched the internet on this subject and have found many others with this same issue including #11246196. See attached error codes. This has occurred on 7 or 8 occasions. The fishtailing that occurs can be scary on the highway!

When I make a left turn, my wheels and steering wheel get out of sync and this causes the car to temporarily become hard to steer. At this point, the car doesn't respond to normal steering gestures. It feels as if the car is going to veer out of the lane and it doesn't respond for me to correct it from veering off unless I turn the steering wheel completely towards the left hand traffic which is very unusual and very scary. When to correct itself, the car jerks itself as the steering wheel and tires re-allign themselves. This makes the car swerve towards the other lane and I then have to violently turn the steering wheel with the opposite way to regain control of the car. Just seem to only happen when I make left turns. The deeper the left turn the more noticeable it is. I have not seem to notice it when I make right turns. This seems to be wearing out the tread on the left rear tire. I am not sure if this is a problem with the steering, the all-wheel steering or computer calculations. I'm going to take it to you looked at this week. This just became more noticeable this past week. Priority is I assumed that there were some imperfections on the street that causes this like a small sinkhole or an uneven section of the road. I've owned two tls, and I own a rl and this Rlx, and I have never experienced this issue or anything like this.
