Acura RL Steering problems by year

About 2013 the 2000 acura rl vsa and abs lights came on then the tilt on the steering wheel up and down stop working then the srs lights and seat belts light came on and want go off. So from then till now I have spent about 15k to correct the vsa and abs issues. Replace rotors bearing wheel sensor tires rack and pinion ball joints and power steering pressure hose. But I found out that the problem is the driver side motor mount. Cost is 100 for the part. The part to fix the issue is discontinued. I talk to daisy at...

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2002 acura rl. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v027000 (air bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the steering warning light was illuminated. The contact called acura of augusta (1760 gordon hwy, augusta, ga 30904, (706) 426 9817) where it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure milage was unknown. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

While driving the car made a left turn on it's on real fast then all my dash lights lite up like a christmas tree. The steering wheel as also stuck in a right hand turn but still driving straight. This was a very scary situation.

The power steering line is pouring out the fluid and burns under the car causing smoke

Failure of power steering tilt/reach. Power steering tilt/reach stopped working. The gears acura have used are plastic and fragile. Acura does not sell the gears, they want people to buy new steering column. One person can get steering positioned at comfortable place but then if a person of different size has to drive he/she gets tired that can lead to accident and fatality. Searching web shows that problem is common in acura rls. Acura should fix this issue asap.

The adjustable steering column quit working in a position that isn't good for me to drive, you can't buy a part to fix this you have to replace the steering column. This is a $2,500.00 Repair. It is not safe to drive in the position it quit working for me. I feel acura should fix this or replace it with a column that can be repaired instead of replacing the whole column. This could be a serious safety issue. The vehicle was stationary when I tried to adjust it.

The steering wheel column will not adjust. It is stuck in the highest position. The plastic gear is broken and the local acura dealer wants over $2000 to replace the whole thing. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 acura rl. The contact stated that there was a clicking noise upon turning the steering wheel and it seized several times. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

I have purchased this vehicle and upon examination noticed that there is a common problem with the telescoping mechanism in the steering column. I did a search of this problem online and found that this is a fairly common issues with these vehicles and may be well known by the manufacture as they do not sell the individual piece to fix this issue but instead sell the whole column as a unit which is $2500. The problem exist because they managed to merge plastic and metal together to create a screw-drive motor in the steering column. *Tr

Driving down steep "s" turn in mountains when battery cable disconnected and all of car's systems shut down. No brakes, no steering, no power. Worst part was that doors locked and we could not unlock them nor the windows. Extremely frightening. There was no cell phone service where we were. If not for forest ranger who came along, because of car being partly into one of the lanes of this two-lane road, we would have roasted to death. Nobody else stopped in spite of "help" signs. There was no inside manual...

We were traveling west on route 76 in my 2003 acura mdx just outside denver colorado. Debris came across the road. The driver swerved to avoid the debris. We then swerved back to straighten out. The back end of the car broke loose onto the median. The car then rolled once, flipped up into the air and revolved three times and landed upright. The back seat passenger was ejected and miraculously just bruised. The driver was only bruised as well. The passenger however was taken to two local hospitals and has a broken...
