SEATS
PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT SECURE! IT FALLS STRAIGHT BACK WHEN RECLINED FROM A VERTICAL POSITION. (GEARS ARE STRIPPED) THIS WAS A ISSUE BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. AND WHEN I FOUND THE DAMAGE, 2 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED IT, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CAR INSURANCE COMPANIES, ACURA CORPORATE HEADCORTERS, AND YOU, DOT, AND ALL PARTIES HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. IF I AM EVER IN A COLLISION, IN ORDER FOR THE SEAT BELT AND THE AIRBAG TO WORK PROPERLY, THE SEAT NEEDS TO BE SECURE COMPLETELY IN ALL POSITIONS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY (HIGH & LOW BEAMS) HAS CONDENSATION IN IT. THE CONDENSATION OBSTRUCTS THE NORMAL, EMITTED PATTERN OF LIGHT, AS WELL AS REDUCES NIGHT-TIME VISION. THE FIRST HEADLIGHT FAILURE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE MOST RECENT HEADLIGHT FAILURE WILL HAVE TO BE PAID FOR BY ME AS THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT IN AN INTERSECTION CAR WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND CAR DIED - UNABLE TO RESTART CAR AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. INTERIOR SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. ACURA DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS IGNITION COIL, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR AND REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING PARTS CAR CONTINUED TO DIE - DEALER SAID IT NOW APPEARS THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE DONE SOME SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET THAT POINT TO A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 96-015 RECALL;PROD.UPDATE CAMPAIGN 92-93 INTEGRA DISTRIBUTOR & TSB 96-022 WARRANTY EXTENSION '92 - '93 INTEGRA DISTRIBUTOR. THIS POINTS TO A DEFECT IN THE DISTRIBUTOR SYSTEM WHICH SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER.*AK

TIRES
I OWN A 1999 ACURA INTEGRA WITH MICHELIN TIRES (P 195/55 R15 84V XGT V4). IN AUGUST, 2000, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A QUARTER-SIZED BLISTER ON THE SIDE WALL WHICH APPEARED TO BE CAUSED BY AN INTERNAL AIR LEAK. AT THE TIME, THE TIRES HAD APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MILES ON THEM. UPON OBSERVING THIS BLISTER, I FIRST CONTACTED MY LOCAL ACURA DEALER. I SPOKE TO A MAN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO TOLD ME, WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE TIRES, THAT THE DAMAGE WAS A ROAD HAZARD AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. NOT SATISFIED, I NEXT CONTACTED MICHELIN'S CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO GO TO NATIONAL TIRE AND BATTERY (NTB) IN ELLISVILLE, MISSOURI. UPON WHAT I CONSIDERED VERY CASUAL OBSERVATION, AN NTB SALES REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THE DEFECT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT A NEW TIRE WOULD COST $180.00 BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE "HIGH PERFORMANCE". THE SALESMAN FURTHER STATED THAT THE BLISTER PRESENTED A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHICH I BELIEVED AT THE TIME AND TOOK SERIOUSLY. THE SALESMAN GAVE ME A 20% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CREDIT BECAUSE I WAS ANGRY ABOUT THE HIGH REPLACEMENT COST FOR A SINGLE TIRE. I WAS PARTICULARLY ANNOYED BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE RELATIVELY NEW AND DESIGNATED AS "HIGH PERFORMANCE" WHICH SHOULD MEAN THAT THEY ARE GOOD TIRES. LONG STORY SHORT, I GRUDGINGLY PAID $133.70 FOR A NEW TIRE. I ACCEPTED THIS AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD NO CHOICE. HOWEVER, I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS TRANSACTION AND FRANKLY, I AM SURPRISED (SUSPICIOUS) THAT THESE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES CAN SO EASILY FAIL TO PERFORM SAFELY UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. PLEASE ASSIST LOG THIS COMPLAINT IN THE EVENT OTHER CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR DIFFICULTIES. AS AN ATTORNEY WHO FORMERLY PROSECUTED CONSUMER FRAUD, I AM SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE CONDUCT OF MICHELIN AND NTB IDENTIFIED ABOVE AND RESPECTIVELY SUGGEST THAT YOUR OFFICE CONSIDER INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.( DOT NUMBER: )

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS SYSTEM STARTS PUMPING/BUZZING AND THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON. HAD IT CHECKED AND I AM TOLD IT IS A 1300.00 REPAIR. SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC ABS FLUID RECEPTACLE WITHOUR REPLACING THE WHOLE ABS SYSTEM. ON THE INTEGRA SECTION OF THE SUPERHONDA.COM WEB BOARD YOU CAN SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE DISCONNECTING THE FUSE TO OVERRIDE THE ABS BECAUSE THE REPAIR IS TOO COSTLY. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *AK

AIR BAGS
THIS WAS A 45 MPH FRONT END COLLISION AND NEITHER THE DRIVERS OR THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO HIT HEAD AND CHEST ON WINDSHIELD AND DASHBOARD (DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT-BELT). HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL ACURA DEALER WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR ACTION REGARDING THIS MATTER. I HAVE OWNED OTHER CARS WHERE A 15 MPH FRONT END COLLISION HAS CAUSED AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. ACRUA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.
