#705789April 20, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
LAST YEAR I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE I`VE PURCHASED. I`VE CONTACTED THE DEALER WITH THE PROBLEMS, AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT REPAIRS WOULDN`T BE DONE AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED BY A MANUFACTURER`S WARRANTY. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, THE RIDE IS VERY STIFF, EVERY TIME THERE IS A CRACK OR A LITTLE BUMP ON THE ROAD IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING OFF THE ROAD. YOU CAN LITERALLY HEAR EVERY LITTLE CRACK IN THE PAVEMENT.I`VE DRIVEN MY FRIENDS ACURA INTEGRA 1995 SE, IT`S THE SAME CAR, MADE THE SAME YEAR WITH SIMILAR MILIEAGE, AND IT DIDN`T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE ONES ON MY CAR. I`VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP, AND I`VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE SHOCKS ARE FINE, AND THAT A CAR SUCH AS MINE SHOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THE ONES LISTED ABOVE. THE EXHAUST HAS ALSO BROKE. THE ALUMINUM COVER THAT GOES AROUND THE EXHAUST PIPE TO PREVENT IT FROM GETTING RUSTED OR GETTING DAMAGED IS BROKEN, EVERY TIME I CHANGE GEARS THAT BUZZING NOISE IS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET FIXED. I WAS JUST WONDERING, IF DEALER REFUSES TO MAKE THE REPAIRS ON MY CAR BECAUSE IT HAS RUN OUT OF WARRANTY, WHO SHOULD I CONTACT? I`VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY CAR, NEVER RACED IT . I`VE BEEN TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH MY CAR, DO NOT USUALLY OCCUR IN THIS YEAR`S MODEL ACURA WITH SIMILAR MILEAGE. *AK

BRAKES - I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 CALIPERS. EACH CALIPER FAILURE REQUIRED ME ALSO TO REPLACE THAT PAIR OF ROTORS. I AM CURREBTLY ON MY 3RD MASTER CYLINDER. EACH FAILURE HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY PEDAL FADING AT INTERSECTION AND CAR ROLLING INTO INTERESCTION. ACCIDENT AVOIDED BY PULLING UP THE HANDBRAKE OR PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE. FAILURE IN EQUALIZER RESULTS IN SEVERE PULLING TO ONE SIDE UNDER HARD BRAKING. ELECTRICAL - CAR STALLED AT 55 MPH. DESPITE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY AVOID OTHER VEHICLES, MANEUVER TO A SIDE STREET AND BRING VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. GAGES - THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAKING/RATTLE COMING FROM THE SPEEDOMETER GAGE. I AM UNCERTAIN WHETHER IT AFFECTS THE ACCURACY OF THE REPORTED SPEED. CAM SHAFT - OIL LEAK FROM SEAL ON LEFT SIDE JUST BEHIND THE DISTRIBUTER CAP

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE OWNER WAS MY NIECE JILLIAN TENNYSON, SHE AND HER SISTER ALLISON TENNYSON WERE BOTH KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT ON 1/2/99. THEIR CAR WAS SPLIT IN 2 DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FRONT SEATS. THE STATE TROOPERS SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAR DO THIS. IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS A HOT CUBE OF BUTTER SLICED IN 2. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ,THE CAR HAS A "UNIBODY" WHICH I UNDERSTAND TO BE ALL ONE PIECE. AFTER THE CAR SPLIT INTO 2. THE DRIVERS SEAT FAILED. IT FELL COMPLETELY BACKWARDS WHICH ALLOWED MY NIECE TO BE EJECTED OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CAR, OR LACK THERE OF. MY INTENT IS NOT TO GO AFTER ACURA. I WANT THE CAR INVESTIGATED TO BE SURE THAT IT WASN'T FAULTY. IF WE FIND IT WAS I ONLY WANT TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION TO AVOID ANY FURTHER SITUATIONS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR FAMILY. MAYBE A RECALL IS NEEDED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCIDERATION. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
MY CAR HAS A NOTICEABLE VIBRATION IN THE ENGINE WHEN IDLING DOWN, BUT A TREMENDOUS VIBRATION WHEN IN REVERSE AND WHEN THE A/C IS ON. IT ALSO HAS A VIBRATION WHEN IT IS DOWN SHIFTING TO SECOND GEAR. I HAVE HAD ALL OF MY MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED BY THE ACURA DEALER. I HAVE HAD MY CAR CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES, TO BE TOLD BY THE TECHNICIANS THAT THEY HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHY THE CAR IS STILL VIBRATING. IF YOU OFFER AND EXPLANATION OR ADVICE AS TO HOW TO HANDLE THIS, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS EXISTED UNRESOLVED FOR THE LAST PAST TWO YEARS. THANK YOU.
