2013 Acura TL Power steering rack gone bad with just 68000 miles
I bough a 2013 Acura TL brand new from Paragon Acura in 2014. I currently have 68000 miles and the power steering rack has gone back, how is it possible with so little miles? The dealer is asking for $3500 to fix it since I’m out of warranty which I’m definitely not paying for it rather get a different car but for sure not buying an Acura again after this issued.

cars are machines. machines have moving parts. moving parts fail.
it's not uncommon for the steering rack to develop leaks.
It's a big job!! if you go to a dealer, of course they will ass rape you. They arent called stealerships JUST because!
also, you have the option of having another mechanic look at it for much much cheaper...
OR you can do it yourself, FOR WAY LESS!
if you get another car, just know you will never escape things breaking. it's a machine.
p.s. you're making a mountain over a mole hill as it is a very small issue

Get a mechanic to look at it. Not an Acura mechanic. It’s not that big of a job. You ask us how it’s possible for the steering rack to have gone bad when it’s only got 68,000 on it? You drove it since new, you tell us. I’m not saying that to be rude, but you are the only person who can say how it’s been driven. If you buy a Toyota or a Bugatti, issues can pop up. There must have been other issues with the car, because no one would be giving up on a car brand just because a steering rack had a problem, am I right?

Thank you.. the car has an eps I know this stuff brakes down after a while but I haven’t beaten the car badly for it to be having these problems so early just makes me realize the real reason why acura discontinued the TLs...
