2007 Acura TSX 4-DR. w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2007 Acura TSX 4-DR. w/SAB

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i began hearing a noise when turning the steering wheel and the steering became "heavy". i checked the power steering fluid reservoir and it was low on fluid. i checked under the car and saw that there a leak from the driver's side boot on the steering rack. i took the car to a local shop and had the part replaced with an aftermarket rack for $1200. the rack failed within a week. i took it back to the local shop and they replaced it under warranty. this was june 2017. today i took it to the shop again and now the right boot is leaking. i have not had to pay for the warranty replacements, but the fact the original part was defective is troubling. i have found that many people with acura tsxs have the same issue. i believe it should be a manufacturer replacement free of charge to the owner."
