THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER IS CRACKED. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. THE CRACKED DASHBOARD MY PRESENT SAFETY ISSUES IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS TO INFLATE. NOW THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED, THE CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO GROW, AND POSSIBLY JEOPARDIZE THE INTEGRITY OF AIRBAG, AMONGST OTHER UNKNOWNS DASHBOARDS SHOULD NOT BE CRACKING, AND THEY SHOULD BE ENGINEERED TO WITHSTAND HEAT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SUMMER OF 2014 I CAN TO A STOP LIGHT AT A COMPLETE STOP. MY TL TYPE S KEPT IDLE AT 3500 - 3700 RPM. DROVE THE CAR ABOUT QUARTER OF A MILE BEFORE HAVING TO SHUT OF THE ENGINE. THAT FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME BEING. THIS WOULD HAPPEN 2-5 TIMES A WEEK FOR THREE WEEKS UNTIL I FIGURED OUT THE CAUSE. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL LEVER AT THE THROTTLE THAT WAS GETTING STUCK. EVENTUALLY JUST UNHOOKED THE CABLE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL. HASN'T BEEN FIX SINCE.

STEERING
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 ACURA TL AND MY POWER STEERING CONSISTENTLY GOES IN AND OUT. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS IN A PARKING LOT. MY VEHICLE'S VIN DOESN'T SHOW THAT THE POWER STEERING RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MANY 2004-2008 ACURA TLS AFFECTS MY CAR, HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT MAY BE THE REASON MY POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL AT ALL. I RECENTLY HAD MY CAR INSPECTED AT BIANCHI HONDA IN ERIE, PA FOR MY ANNUAL INSPECTION AND THEY SAID THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING WITH MY POWER STEERING IS TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING HOSE ETC. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY CAR'S POWER STEERING PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED? THANK YOU. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A PROBLEM IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF MY ACURA TL 2000 THAT I BOUGHT 2YEARS AGO. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD SOMETIMES IT DONT CHANGE THE GEAR. IT SEEMS LIKE SLIPPED. UPON SEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS MANUFACTURING FAULT. BUT THE OWNER DIDN'T TAKE IT MAY BE BECAUSE IT IS REGISTERED IN UAE AND ACURA DON'T HAVE MUCH APPEARANCE HERE. I WANT TO KNOW IF ACURA CAN DO SOMETHING NOW AT DEALERSHIP OF HONDA IN UAE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
RUST THROUGH CONDITION ON RIGHT SUB-FRAME SUPPORTING ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION. AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER DRAIN TUBE DRIPS CONDENSATION/WATER DIRECTLY ONTO THIS AREA OF THE SUB-FRAME CAUSING SEVERE CORROSION AND EVENTUALLY PART FAILURE LEAVING ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION WITHOUT PROPER ALIGNMENT AND SUPPORT THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED. ACURA DENOUNCED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM. LEFT SIDE OF SAME PART IS NOT EFFECTED AT ALL. INTERNET SEARCH HAS DISCOVERED NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM. TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 1999-2002 HONDA ACCORD CARS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. BUT MANUFACTURE'S SOLUTION WAS TO MOVE THE LOCATION OF THE DRAIN TUBE IN FUTURE MODEL YEARS OF THE CAR. I PAID AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP $2,600 TO REPLACE THE REAR SUB-FRAME SECTION. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AND REAR SUB-FRAMES BUT THE FRONT SECTION WAS NOT EFFECTED AND DID NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THE REPAIR SHOT I TOOK MY CAR TO TO HAVE THE WORK DONE PRAISED THE CAR FOR BEING SPOTLESS UNDERNEATH EXCEPT FOR THE EFFECTED AREA. PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED ON AUGUST 16, 2016.

POWER TRAIN
APPEARS TO BE TRANSMISSION RELATED PROBLEM. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 47,XXX MILES ON MY VEHICLE WHICH I HAD PURCHASED BRAND NEW. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME CONCERN BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN, I WAS ADVISED THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND ACURA STATED THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. ONCE THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER IT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN ACURA STATED IT WAS A TORQUE CONVERTER AND THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM, MY VEHICLE HAVE GOTTEN WORST DUE TO THE WHOLE CAR VIBRATING WHEN THE A/C IS ON. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST, VEHICLE HESITATES AND CLUNKING NOISE AND VIBRATION COMES FROM THE ENGINE ARE WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 20-45 MPH. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND I KNOW HOW IT DROVE FROM DAY ONE, NOW IT DOES NOT DRIVE THE WAY IT DID. ACURA STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. ALL THE WORK WAS DONE UNDER WARRANTY WHICH IS FOUR YEARS OR 50,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE IS FEW THOUSAND MILES AWAY FROM BEING OUT OF MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AND I AM AFRAID MY VEHICLE WILL BREAK DOWN OR THE PROBLEM WILL GET WORST AND I WILL BE STUCK WITH A BROKEN CAR. ACURA ALSO STATED THERE IS A BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ACURA IS WORKING ON FINDING A SOLUTION.
