STEERING, TIRES
I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 ACURA TL LAST DECEMBER. FROM THE GET GO, THE CAR HAS CONTINUOUSLY PULLED TO THE LEFT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK 5 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, TIRES REPLACED AND STILL IT PULLS TO THE LEFT. WE HAVE NOTIFIED ACURA AND A REP. CAME IN BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR I SIGNED A DOCUMENT RELEASING ACURA FROM THE "LEMON LAW" I ALSO CONSULTED AN ATTORNEY AS WELL AS WAVE TV 3 TROUBLESHOOTER AND WAS GIVEN THIS WEB SITE TO LOG OUR COMPLAINT. WE HAVE ALL DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS BEEN WORKED ON. THIS CAR IS VERY MUCH A LEMON. IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS THE BLOWER FOR THE HEAT ALSO HAD TO BE FIXED. BASICALLY THE REP. FROM ACURA CAME HERE AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR US. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM ANGRY. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. AND I WAS NOT AWARE THAT ACURA WAS EXEMPT FROM KY'S LEMON LAW. PLEASE HELP THIS CAR IS A HAZARD FOR THE CONTINOUS PULLING TO THE LEFT. *AK

WHEELS:RIM
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE APRIL 2004 AND HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH FRONT WHEEL BALANCE SINCE ALMOST NEW. EVERY TIME I HAVE REQUESTED DEALER SERVICE THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BENT RIM. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR AND SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RECALL OF HITTING ANY POTHOLES. AS A RESULT OF THESE FAILURES I HAVE REAL CONCERNS ABOUT THE STRENGTH AND INTEGRITY OF THE MATERIALS USED IN THE WHEEL DESIGN. THREE RIMS HAVE NOW FAILED IN THE 7 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2002 ACURA TL TYPE S THAT HAS TWO DEFECTIVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. TWO WEEKS AGO, TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL BY ACURA. NOW IT IS SLIPPING AGAIN. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE MAJOR.*AK I AM SCHEDULED TO RETURN THE CAR TO THE ACURA DEALER ON 12.1 TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AGAIN. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH BE QUITE PROBEMATIC AND HAS CASUED MY CAR TO NOW LONGER BE A SAFE AND RELIABLE MODE OF (EXPENSIVE) TRANSPORTATION. ONE ISSUE OF THE RECALL IS THAT THE SECOND GEAR CAN GET HOT AND CHIPPING AND COULD CAUSE THE TRANS TO LOCK UP RESULTING IN A CRASH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT IN THE HOPES THAT I CAN GET SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR MY VEHICLE AND GET A DIFFERENT ONE.
