SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
GOING 5 MPH IN PARKING LOT, COASTING TO A STOP AT END OF AISLE WITH FOOT OFF THROTTLE PEDAL. PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND THE ENGINE REVVED TO HIGH SPEED. BARELY HELD CAR WITH BRAKE. SHUT OFF IGNITION. CAR RESTARTED FINE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN A WEEK IT HAD HAPPENED. PREVIOUS INCIDENT WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN. ACURA DEALER AND ACURA TECHLINE SAY THE PROBLEM CAN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE THE THROTTLE CONTROL IS A HARD CABLE, NO ELECTRONICS INVOLVED.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
THIS CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE SRS SYSTEM, WHICH HAS RENDERED IT INOPERABLE. APPARENTLY, THERE ARE DESIGN ISSUES WITH THE SEAT BUCKLE AND SEAT SENSOR THAT HAVE BEEN THERE ALL ALONG. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OWNER COMPLAINTS HERE AND ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS. THIS APPARENTLY MAKES THE ENTIRE SRS SYSTEM INOPERABLE, INCLUDING THE DRIVER AIRBAG. THIS ALONG WITH THE WELL DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION ISSUES MAKE THIS A "ROLLING COFFIN"-- I AM NOT SURE WHY HONDA IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS OWNERS. I GUESS IT WOULD TAKE MAJOR INJURIES AND LAWSUITS AND PUBLICITY TO GET SOME ACTION.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY SRS LIGHT IS ON, AND ALWAYS ON, DRIVING, IN PARK, ETC. HOWEVER, MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I READ THAT IF THE SRS LIGHT IS ON THE SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK, HOWEVER THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT IN BOTH FRONT SEATS AND SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR BOTH WORK. DEALER SHOULD EXAMINE, DETERMINE PROBLEM AND FIX AT NO COST. MY NAVI DVR SYSTEM ALSO WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE THE MOST RECENT DISC. MOSTLY IT IS A BUNCH OF LINES ACROSS THE SCREEN, BLACK AND WHITE, SOMETIME BLUE AND WHITE. I WOULD SAY ONE IN 20 STARTS THE NAVI SYSTEM WORKS.

ENGINE
ERRATIC/RAISED ENGINE IDLE CAUSED BY WORN IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE CREATES A CONDITION WHERE ENGINE IDLE IS SUDDENLY HIGHER THAN 2000RPM IN GEAR WHICH RESULTS/RESULTED IN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION (VEHICLE SPEEDS UP WITH NO ACCELERATOR PEDAL INPUT) AND THE ENGINE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE BRAKING SYSTEM (WITH VEHICLE IN DRIVE GEAR, BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, VEHICLE WILL STILL MOVE FORWARD.) CONDITION HAPPENS TO MY VEHICLE WHEN ENGINE IS NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, WITH WARM TO HOT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, ON ANY ROAD CONDITION.

SUSPENSION
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): 19UYA42441A... SUMMARY: THE VEHICLE SUB-FRAME IS ROTTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CAUSED BY THE AIR CONDITIONER OUTPUT DIRECTLY ABOVE THE FRAME DRIPPING ON IT TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS OK AND SHOWING NO SIGNS OF RUST. I FEEL THIS IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE NOT CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ACURA LOCAL SERVICE AND CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT DISAGREE WITH MY CONCLUSION BUT WILL NOT OFFER ANY REPAIR COMPENSATION TO HAVE THE SUB-FRAME REPLACED. I DISCOVERED IT WHEN INSPECTING THE FRONT BRAKES WITH THE FRONT WHEEL REMOVED. OTHERWISE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN UNTIL A CATASTROPHIC FRAME COLLAPSE.THEY SAID THE FRAME SEEMED TO BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND AT THIS TIME BUT IT DEFINITELY WILL NEED REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THEY SAID THEY FOUND ONLY TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT A SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 01 TO 04 CL'S. ACURA TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLE AGE, NO COMPENSATION CAN BE OFFERED. I AM A LOYAL ACURA CUSTOMER HAVING PURCHASED 4 OF THEIR VEHICLES IN THE PAST, THE PRESENT ONE A 2015 TLX MODEL. THIS DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO THE ACURA CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE. MY HOPE IS THAT BY IDENTIFYING THE ABOVE PROBLEM, IT WILL HELP PRESERVE PRESENT AND FUTURE ACURA BUYERS AND SAVE AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A FRAME COLLAPSE WITH LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. SINCE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN CAUSED BY AN ENGINEERING DEFICIENCY, I FEEL ACURA SHOULD AGREE TO SUPPORT ALL OR SOME REPAIR COSTS AND NOTIFY CURRENT OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE PICTURES OF AFFECTED AREA.

SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS
WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WAS FASTENED, THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) WARNING LIGHT LIT UP. THE SRS LIGHT REMAINED ON UNTIL I ERASED THE SCS BY ENTERING THE APPROPRIATE MEMORY ERASE SIGNAL. AFTER THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WAS BUCKLED AGAIN, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN REQUIRING ANOTHER SCS ERASURE TO TURN IT OFF. AFTER EVERY SCS ERASURE TO TURN THE SRS LIGHT OFF, IT TURNS BACK ON EVERY TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLE IS FASTENED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IN THIS CAR (2001 ACURA CL TYPE S), THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM IS INACTIVATED WHENEVER THE SRS LIGHT IS ON.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
DRIVING INTO WORK ON THURSDAY THE 16TH OF APRIL, 2015 I WAS ROUNDING A DESIGNATED U-TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 3-5MPH. AS I WAS MIDWAY THROUGH THE TURN, MY CAR DROPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND A SCRAPPING NOISE STARTED TO SOUND. MY CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND A GRINDING NOISE MADE ME WEARY TO MOVE. BECOMING STATIONARY, I WAS SIDEWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH CARS APPROACHING. I PROCEEDED TO SLOWLY INCH MY CAR OUT OF THE ROAD AND INTO A SAFE LOCATION WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I LIFTED MY CAR UP USING THE JACK IN THE TRUNK I COULD VISIBLY SEE MY LOWER BALL JOINT HAD COME OUT OF THE SOCKET AND THE SUSPENSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS COLLAPSED. IF THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY HALF A MILE BEFORE THE LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT I WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY 75. I AM LUCKY THAT THIS COMPONENT FAILURE DID NOT RESULT IN THE WHEEL BUCKLING UNDER THE PRESSURE OF THE BREAK. ALSO I AM LUCKY THERE WERE NO MORE THAN A FEW CARS APPROACHING ME WHEN THIS OCCURRED (T-BONE SITUATION). I HAVE BEEN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE TO CONFIRM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 99V069000 HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND IS FOR THIS EXACT SAME CONSEQUENCE, WHICH IT SEEMS TO BE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY BE CATEGORIZED AS A WEAR COMPONENT BUT THE BALL JOINT ON ANY CAR SHOULD NEVER COME OUT OF PLACE OR FAIL AT ALL. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER ITEM THAT WAS ALREADY RECALLED AND REPAIRED DONE AGAIN DUE TO THE RECALL NOT HOLDING UP. THE ISSUE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 02V120000 WAS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH CONTACTS SPREADING RESULTING IN A STALL CONDITION AND IN COME CASES A NO-START CONDITION POST STALL. THE ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED AND JUST RE-COMPLETED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE FIXES THAT ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED BY ACURA SEEM TO BANDAGE THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF A ROBUST FIX THAT WILL NOT PRESENT THE ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED ACURA WHOM STATED THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME.
