  ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE

  ENGINE CONSUMES ONE (1) QUART OF OIL APPROXIMATELY EVERY 4,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. IF YOU FOLLOW THE OIL LIFE MINDER (PER THE OWNER'S MANUAL) AND CHANGE THE OIL WHEN THE INDICATOR LIGHTS UP (TYPICALLY AROUND 7,000 MILES) THE ENGINE OIL IS WELL BELOW THE NORMAL DIPSTICK OPERATING RANGE. *TR

  SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT

  THE NEW VEHICLE HEADREST RESTRAINTS ARE AWFUL AND MOST PEOPLE, INCLUDING CAR SALES MANAGERS ARE TURNING THEIR HEADRESTS AROUND OFFERING NO SUPPORT. WHILE THIS MAY SOLVE YOUR INSURANCE PAYOUT ISSUE (BC TURNED AROUND HEADRESTS NEGATE PAYOUTS), IT WILL NOT IMPROVE CRASH OUTCOMES, WHICH REALLY SHOULD BE YOUR GOAL BUT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT. *TR

  POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION

  I HAVE 2010 TL AH-AWT WITH 6 SPEED MANUAL. THE THIRD GEAR ON THIS CAR HAS BEING ACTING UP. DURING A COLD START, WHEN THE CAR HAS BEING SITTING OVER NIGHT, IN THE MORNING, THEN I'M SHIFTING FROM SECOND GEAR TO THIRD, ONE OF ALL OF THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS: CAR DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT TO 3RD GEAR. IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO PUSH IT INTO THE 3RD GEAR. 2. THE CAR SHIFTS INTO THE THIRD GEAR, BY THE SHIFT LEVER, IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SHIFTED INTO THE THIRD. ONCE THE CLUTCH IS LET OUT SLOWLY, THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO GRIND. SOMETIMES, IT EVEN PUSHED THE SHIFT LEVER TO NEUTRAL. I HAVE ABOUT 11,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THE END OF DECEMBER 2009. I TOOK THIS CAR TO DEALER IN MCGRATH ACURA, WESTMONT, IL TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE IS THAT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. I TRIED TO SEE WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT HAS NO REGULAR OCCURRENCE. I HAVE SEARCHED BLOGS ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE FEW OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE SEEING THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP ME.

  POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

  TRANSMISSION SLIPPING IN TRAFFIC WITH MULTIPLE CLOSE CALLS TO ACCIDENTS FROM BEHIND. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE KEPT PERFECT MAINTENANCE OF AUTO. TRANSMISSION IS FAILING ON EVERY SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST 2ND 3RD GEARS WHEN WARM. SAFETY ISSUE IS WHEN PEOPLE FROM BEHIND THINK I AM ACCELERATING YET I AM STALLED. THE FIX IS $4,000+. THIS IS A PATTERNED PROBLEM WITH ALL 2002 2003 ACURA TLS. OLD PART CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE IF NECESSARY FOR NHTSA. *TR
