This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My power steering hoses have been leaking and now there's fluid down under the motor and under the car.. the car will not hold power steering fluid but for one day and my car is now become undrivable. I see there was a recall but I did not receive the recall notice and started looking online and saw that actually I have experienced the same problem but now it's gotten to the point where it's worse than just the hoses. I've tried to get it fixed and they say no you're not included in the recall I have all the problems that were stated and now it's become exacerbated. I need help immediately.
Power steering has been affected due to defective rack and pinion. Car pulls to the right and poses a safety issue on highway. Steering has also locked up due to the power steering leak while driving. A very frightening situation when going faxt speeds. Also, the front passenger airbag started cracking a few years ago and am questioning weather it would deploy in a collision.
My wife lost control of our 2006 Acura Tsx and hit a concrete barrier head first at approximately 50mph. The airbags did not deploy. Both frame rails were bent and everything at the front of the car was pushed back towards the engine. The fenders were bent, the bumper was destroyed, the doors didn't open and close properly. My insurance declared the car a total loss B/C of the severe damage. Despite the severe accident, the airbags failed to deploy. My attempts to contact Acura and get a response from them regarding the matter has been unsuccessful. They just said "the car determined they weren't necessary" and blew me off. Their response is not appropriate to me, especially since my wife sustained neck and back injuries as a result of the crash. I want to find out what happened, and make sure other vehicles out there are safe B/C this could happen to anyone. Safety features should be functional.
