ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM"IGNITION: DISTRIBUTOR- THE DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING CONTAINING THE BEARING IS MAKING A NOISE AND IS TOTALLY WORN OUT. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER -ACURA OF SERRAMONTE ABOUT IT WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP. THE CAR STOPS ON IDLING AND JERKS ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A PRODUCT UPDATE IN 1996 VALID FOR 6 YEARS/90,000 MILE. MY CAR IS 71000 MILES BUT MORE THEN 6 YEARS SINCE THEN. SO HAVE TO END UP SPENDING $300+ JUST FOR REPLACING A DEFECTIVE PART THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE HAD A LIFETIME RECALL ON. ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHY THERE SHOULD BE A TIME RESTRICTION ON FIXING THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. DEALER TELLS ME 4 UT OF 5 CARS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND SO FEEL HELPLESS THAT THE PERSON WHO OWNED IT BEFORE DID NOT GET IT FIXED WHILE IT WAS UNDER AN UPDATE NOTIFICATION. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 2000 ACURA INTEGRA NEW IN JAN 2000. APPROX 2 WEEKS AGO, WITH NO WARNING, IT STOPPED CHANGING GEARS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I'M LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP LAST FRIDAY. 2 DAYS AGO THEY CALLED TO INFORM ME A BOLT HAD COME OFF INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION NOT THE BOLT!!! IT WOULD COST $2550.00 AND WOULD NOT BE READY UNTIL NEXT WEEK. I INFORMED THEM I WANTED A DETAILED REPORT ON EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND ALL DAMAGED PARTS. I HAVE HIGH MILEAGE ON MY AUTO (82,000) AND IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DON'T THINK IT IS REASONABLE FOR A BOLT TO FALL OFF AND DESTROY A RELATIVELY NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS IS MY 2ND INTEGRA ... I PURCHASED MY 1ST NEW INTEGRA IN 1992 AND HAD IT 9 YEARS WITH 186,000 MI BEFORE I SOLD IT. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I HAD THE ENTIRE TIME I OWNED IT WAS REPLACING THE RADIATOR. THIS IS THE REASON I PURCHASED THE 2ND ONE. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
1997 ACURA INTEGRA STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 5 OCCASSIONS, TWICE ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE STARTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STALL. I CHECKED THE MANUFACTURER RECALL LIST BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS ONLY RECALLED BY THE MALAYSIAN DOH AND NOT BY AMERICAN HONDA. IT WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE 1996 TO 1999 RECALL TIMEFRAME FOR THE RECALL TO APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE.
