| Over a month ago, i noticed a sound whenever i would steer the vehicle. i checked the power steering fluid level and noted it was low. i added more fluid to the appropriate level and in a week or so, the sound returned. after repeating this process, i then noticed smoke coming from under the hood. after checking some online forums and visiting a service shop, i have learned that my power steering pressure hose has a leak that could potentially start a fire. the acura recall does not include my model year even though i am experiencing the same issue. i'd like for acura to correct this widespread problem on my 1999 3.2 tl before it gets worse.

| Driving normally on city street when suddenly engine died & all electrical on console turned off. car was diagnosed with faulty ignition switch. there had been a recall for this part. i've confirmed that my car was serviced by dealer under that recall & the ignition switch had been replaced some time ago; the replaced part failed. incident placed my family in seriously dangerous situation--in middle of road/traffic without power or instruments & barely able to steer. | |||

| When you take your eyes of the road to read the odometer, and try to read the odometer, you sometimes nearly cause an accident. *ak | |||
