[TL07]

Hey all,

I just purchased our first Acura TL last night. It's in good shape and has only 70,000 miles on it. we're really happy so far.

But on the drive home a few questions popped up.

When the car is in Drive or Reverse with your foot on the brake it becomes extremely difficult to turn the wheel.

I initially assumed low power steering fluid or bad power steering pump. then a friend of mine said that there is some sort of speed sensing power steering that's supposed to help reduce tire wear.

What do you guys make of this?

And, is there any other typical issues or quarks that I should be aware of?

thanks for your help in advance.

Micah.

Call up your local Acura dealer and ask then to run a VIN number check to check to see if your car has any open recalls because there is a recall on the power steering feed hose (feeds fluid from pump to rack/pinion) - if its still open then take it to them and have them perform the recall and see if that helps
