TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MY SON PURCHASED 4 COOPER COBRA G/T BL 39617 195/50SR15 TIRES ON 10/29/03. 2 OUT OF THE FOUR TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAVE EXHIBITED DEFECTS IN MATERIAL/WORKMANSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE DEFECT WAS CHARACTERIZED AS "BELT SEPARATION" BY PROFESSIONAL TIRE SHOPS WHERE THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST OCCASSION OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER 2005. THE TIRE STARTED COMING APART WHILE DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AVERAGE 35-40 MPH. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS JULY 2006. IN BOTH CASES THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND COULD NOT BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE SELLING TIRE SHOP WHICH WAS BIG BRAND TIRE COMAPNY IN THOUSAND OAKS, CA. IN ADDITION TO THE REPLACEMENT COST INCURRED, I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. OUT OF THE 4 TIRES PURCHASED, 50% EXHIBITED THIS DEFECT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
(1) I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY 95' ACURA INTEGRA 4 DOOR GSR DIED ON THE HIGHWAY (2)IF I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT WOULD START THEN DIE AS I LET THE KEY GO. I FOUND THAT IF I HELD THE KEY CLOSE TO III THEN THE ENGINE WOULD STAY ON. I GOT HOME AND TOOK APART THE IGNITION HARNESS AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SPOT WHERE THE CONTACT POINT WAS PITTED. THAT'S WHEN I FIGURED THE IGNITION HARNESS SWITCHING MECHANISM (BY THE KEY IGNITION CYLINDER) WAS NOT GETTING GOOD CONTACT. (3) I TRIED TO SAND OFF THE PITTED PART AND PUT A LAYER OF SOLDER OVER IT, BUT IT STILL DIES AFTER A WHILE. THEN I WOULD HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. I'M TEMPORARY DOING THIS TILL I CAN AFFORD A NEW IGNITION HARNESS. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
THE PLASTIC COMPONENT(S) ON THE RADIATOR BROKE ALLOWING COOLANT TO EXIT THE COOLANT SYSTEM AND SPLASH UPON THE MOTOR AND OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS. THE ACURA DEALER (IN OMAHA NEBRASKA; 84TH STREET) WAS QUERIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE INDICATED THEY HAD REPLACED THREE RADIATORS IN THE PREVIOUS FEW WEEKS. THEY STATED THIS APPEARED TO BE A HIGHER THAN NORMAL FAILURE RATE. THE INDIVIDUAL PROVIDED ME ACURA'S REGIONAL NUMBER AND I CALLED TO ADVISE THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. THE PERSON FROM ACURA REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS ADVISED ME THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN ACTION PREVIOUSLY. *LA

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.

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
