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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
WHEN I PURCHASED THE 1992 ACURA INTEGRA THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO WORK ON MY A.C. BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN I DID TAKE THE CAR HOME TWO WEEKS LATER MY AIR WAS NOT BLOWING COLD SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY PUT CO2 IN IT. EVERY MONTH I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK SO THEY COULD WORK ON THE AIR. FINALLY IN JUNE THE NEW MECHANIC TIGHTENED UP A HOSE AND THE AIR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. THEN IN THE FIRST WEEK OF AUG. IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR AND SAID THAT HE NEEDED TO DO SOME REWIRING. I TOLD I COULDN'T HAVE IT DONE THEN BUT I WOULD BRING THE CAR BACK. ON MONDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK MY CAR WOULDN'T START. ON AUG. 17, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO FIRST CLASS AUTO SALES WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR SO THEY COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. I ALSO REMINDED THEM THAT THE AIR WASN'T WORKING AGAIN AND TO FIX IT WHILE THE CAR WAS THERE. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP ON THE 19 THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD PUT IN THE NEW BATTERY THAT I PURCHASED AND HE HAD ALSO DONE SOME REWIRING SO THAT THE AIR WOULD WORK. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOME AND I DECIDED TO STOP AT THE GROCERY STORE TO PICK UP SOME SPAGHETTI SAUCE. WE WERE NOT IN THE STORE 5 MINUTES AND WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE ON THE INSIDE. WHEN I GOT CLOSER TO THE CAR I SAW THAT THE DOORS WERE NOW UNLOCKED AND THE SEATBELT WAS MOVING BACK AND FORTH. I HAD MY CHILDREN STAND BACK AND I POPPED THE HOOD BUT THERE WAS NOTHING UNDER THERE THEN I HEARD A CRACKILING SOUND AND I SAW THE SPARKS COMING FORM UNDER THE DASH. I RAN INSIDE THE STORE TO ASK FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. BY THE TIME WE RETURNED OUTSIDE SOMEONE HAD PUT THE FIRE OUT AND A POLICE OFFICER WAS THERE AND HE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY FILLED OUT A REPORT.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
GAS TANK OF OUR 1997 ACURA INTEGRA DEVELOPED A LEAK AT THE SEAM. NO CORROSION NOTED. NO DAMAGE TO TANK HAD OCCURRED. THE CAR IS IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. THERE ARE NO PENDING RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL THAT WE COULD LOCATE. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN UNUSUAL AND UNSAFE OCCURRENCE. WE HAVE NO OPTIONS (ACCORDING TO THE DEALER OR ACURA'S NATIONAL OFFICE) BUT TO REPLACE THE TANK AT A COST OF $900 PLUS. *LA

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY, A SMALL PLASTIC CLIP DESIGNED TO SECURE AN ENGINE HOSE WORKED ITS WAY LOSE. THE PIECE LANDED ON THE THROTTLE SWITCH WHILE THE SWITCH WAS IN THE OPEN POSITION AND WEDGED ITSELF IN A WAY THAT PREVENTED THE THROTTLE FROM CLOSING. THIS LEFT THE CAR IN PERMANENT ACCELERATION. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO DROP THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND REMOVE THE KEY TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. DOING THIS THEN MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO MANAGE BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS WAS AN EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE THROTTLE SHOULD BE SHROUDED SO THAT NO FOREIGN OBJECT HAS ANY CHANCE OF INTERFERING WITH ITS ABILITY TO CLOSE PROPERLY. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR KEPT DYING WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. BATTERY WORKING, IGNITION NOT TURNING OVER AND STEERING WHEEL/TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP. HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS FOR SAME PROBLEM A DOZEN TIMES AND SPENT $1,848.52 TOTAL. THEY KEEP SAYING THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM, BUT CAR IS EVEN TODAY CONTINUING WITH SAME PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
I AM TOLD THAT A BOLT CAME LOSE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND I WAS VERY LUCKY IT NOT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS NO WARNING THE CAR WORKED FINE AND THEN IT DIDN'T. IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP. THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. AND SINCE I HAVE SUCH HIGH MILAGE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRENTY. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND IT WILL BE ANOTHER WEEK BEFORE I CAN PICK MY CAR UP. I KNOW FROM READING YOUR WEB SIGHT THAT MY MODEL ACURA IS NOT THE ONE THATS SUPPOSE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.. HOWEVER, A BOLT IS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO JUST FALL OUT AND DESTROY A TRANSMISSION IN A AUTO 3 YEARS OLD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MY COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAINT NO.10036644. I HAVE AN ACURA INTEGRA 1992 COUPE. I HAD MY CAR JERKING ON FREEWAYS & NOT IDLING RIGHT. I ASKED ACURA FOR THE UPDATE INFO FOR DISTRIBUTOR PROBLEM INTEGRA HAD & THEY SAID THAT MY CAR HAS CROSSED 6 YEARS & HENCE I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE DISTRIBUTOR. I AM STILL CONFUSED ON WHY A COMPANY, AFTER ACCEPTING THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS IN ONE OF ITS COMPONENTS CHARGES CUSTOMERS FOR REPLACING IT. I BOUGHT THIS FROM SOMEONE & HE HAD NEVER DONE THIS UPDATE FOR HIS CAR. *LA

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.
