STEERING
2005 ACURA TSX PRESENTED AT DEALER WITH PREMATURELY-DETERIORATED POWER STEERING HOSE. POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING ON HOT ENGINE PRESENTS FIRE HAZARD, PER DEALER SERVICE MANAGER. HOSE WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL ON TL AND RL MODELS, BUT NOT THE TSX. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
LITTLE TINY CRACKS HAVE APPEARED ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRES NEAR THE RIM, WHICH I BELIEVE ARE CREATED DUE TO THE TIRES BEING DRY ROTTED. DOES THIS MEAN THE TIRES ARE TOO OLD WHEN THEY WERE PUT ON THE CAR? THE CAR DEALERSHIP MAKES IT SOUND LIKE THIS IS NORMAL WEAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 ACURA TSX. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE SENSOR FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC WOULD NOT PROVIDE AN ERROR CODE. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY WITH THE DEALER. THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN THE VEHICLE, BUT ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER CONTINUE TO STATE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,050.

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE REAR BUMPER WAS DISCOLORED AND THE ACURA DEALERSHIP, STERLING MCCALL ACURA, ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION. LATER WHEN THE BUMPER PEALED OFF AND SOME OF THE ORIGINAL PAINT WAS SHOWING THROUGH THEY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FIX THE CAR. THE CLAIM AT 4K MILES THERE WAS A LITTLE FENDER BENDER, BUT I'M DOUBTFUL THAT IS THE TRUTH. THE REAR DOORS DON'T CLOSE RIGHT AND SQUEAK AS IF ITS HAD A REAR END COLLISION. I COMPLAINED TO THE BBB, ACURA CLIENT SERVICES (NO HELP) AND STERLING MCCALL THEMSELVES. THEY SIMPLY SLAPPED ON MORE PAINT AND NOW ITS PEALING AGAIN! *TR

TIRES:SIDEWALL
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, TAKING A RAMP FROM ONE ROAD TO ANOTHER, NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM RIGHT REAR TIRE. WHILE TRYING TO REACH AN EXIT, FELT THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT, AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON SHOULDER. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A REST, THE TIRE WAS SITTING ON THE ROAD BEHIND THE CAR, STILL IN AN INTACT CIRCLE. THE TIRE WAS INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED TIRE DEALER WHO COULD FIND NO ROAD HAZARD METHOD OF TIRE FAILURE, AND THE MANUFACTURER DECIDED THAT ALTHOUGH THEY NORMALLY DO NOT COVER THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE UNDER WARRANTY, THEY PAID 35% OF THE REPLACEMENT COST OF A NEW TIRE. THE DAMAGE LOOKS LIKE A SIDEWALL FAILURE. *JB
