BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY AND REDUCES STOPPING POWER DUE TO AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE VSA MODULATOR. (2004-06). I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE, AFTER NOTICING MY BREAKS WERE SOFT AND LESS EFFECTIVE OVER THE PAST FEW TIMES I DROVE. THEY WANT TO CHARGE 2.6K TO REPAIR THE MODULE, DESPITE THEM CLEARLY HAVING ISSUES IN THE PAST. I'M HOPING YOU WILL ISSUE A RECALL SO WE CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE FEW CAN AFFORD.

TAKATA RECALL. 2004 ACURA TL DASH BOARD NOTICED A LONG CRACK THEN THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG LIGHT NO LONGER TURNS ON. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE ON 6/20/17. CHECKED ONLINE AND MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THE CRACK IF VERY CLOSE TO THE AIRBAG AND I AM AFRAID IT MAY DEPLOY AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING IT TO BE UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. SOME TO MOST OWNERS ARE RECEIVING A RECALL OR REPLACEMENT FOR THE ERORR ACCORDING TO TAKATA RECALL.

POWER TRAIN
RECALL NUMBER 04V176000 POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN YOU TYPE IN YOUR MAKE AND MODEL THIS IS THE RECALL THAT SHOWS UP, BUT WHEN I USE MY VIN IT DOES NOT SHOW THIS RECALL BUT IT SHOWS THE SAME SYMPTOMS/ ISSUES THAT ARE ON THIS RECALL. MY CAR WHINES AFTER CERTAIN RPM. I CALLED ACURA AND EXPLAINED THE SAME AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO MY VIN. I ASKED A DEALER AND THE EMPLOYEE EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS COMMON AND PEOPLE HAVE DRIVEN THEIR CARS WITH SAME ISSUES UP TO 400K MILES. IS THIS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WHEN I KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS. HOW CAN THE MANUFACTURER GET AWAY NOT HONOR WHEN THE EXACT PROBLEM EXISTS. I HAVE READ A FEW COMPLAINS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPRESSED ON THE WEB. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO SO ACURA CAN HONOR THIS ISSUE?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE
I PURCHASED MY 2004 ACURA TL FROM AUTOLAND USA IN SELDEN, NY ON APRIL 5TH, 2016. THE VEHICLE IS IN GREAT SHAPE. NO TORN SEATS, INTERIOR ISSUES OR ANY OTHER VISIBLE ISSUES AT TIME OF PURCHASE. JUST ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED THESE CRACKS FORMING ON MY DASHBOARD. I KNOW THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING COMPLAINTS ON QUITE A FEW MESSAGE AND COMPLAINT BOARDS AND WEBSITES. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT WILL ACURA DO TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE, BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE A 1992 HONDA ACCORD IN MY DRIVEWAY, THAT STILL HAS A PERFECTLY INTACT DASHBOARD AND THE ACCORD IS MUCH OLDER THAN THIS ACURA. I HAVE ATTACHED A FEW PICTURES TO CONFIRM MY CLAIM. THANK YOU. [XXX] UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
