Check power steering 2011 tsx

So on wednesday morning on the drive to work on the freeway the steering wheel like locked up on me while going 60 mph. Luckily I was a mile away from work and was able to exit but I had to literally tug on my steer wheel with both hands to have it slowly turn. I eventually was able to park. A few hrs later I went outside to check my car and the check power steering light wasn't on anymore and my car was fine. Dropped it off at acura after work and next day they told me they saw that the light did go on but they couldn't find out what the problem was and gave me back the car. Now this morning I went outside n started my car then I came back to leave and my check power steering is on again. And I can't steer. It's at 47k miles under warranty still. Any thoughts?

Have the dealer come and tow the car. Do not try to drive it. You'll need a whole new assembly.

Had that happen to me as well. They had to replace the entire part with the computer. Mine was only 2500 miles over warranty At least they were kind enough to cover half the cost.

Are you shitting me? The power steering is failing?

Is this a widespread issue?

Are there any modifications to the chassis? Different rims or anything?
