TAKATA RECALL - I AM APPALLED THAT I JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM ACURA ON MARCH 28, 2016 REGARDING A PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED IN 2014. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES AT MY DEALERSHIP IN BOSTON, BERNARDI ACURA AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM, HOWEVER I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE LEVEL OF ATTENTION TO THIS. WHY HASN'T MY DEALERSHIP CONTACTED ME BEFORE THIS? ALSO, ACURA MENTIONS THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS UNTIL LATE SPRING OR EARLY SUMMER, THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE BASICALLY TELLING ME TO PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER UNTIL THEY CAN FIX IT IN A FEW MONTHS. THIS IS APPALLING.

STEERING
NHTSA RECALLS 12V-222 AND 08V-091 WERE ENACTED TO ADDRESS SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND ASSOCIATED HOSES FOR CERTAIN 2007-2008 ACURA TLS. FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. HOWEVER, I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED BY BOTH RECALLS. SO I HAVE QUESTIONED ACURA AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE RECALL BUT I HAVE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTORY ANSWER OTHER THAN TO POINT OUT THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THEREFORE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AS WELL. DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX. THE CRACKS ARE GETTING WIDER WITH TIME AND HAVE PROGRESSED WITH TIME.

TAKATA RECALL- TOOK CAR IN FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT. INFORMED OF RECALL. TOLD REPLACEMENT COULDN'T TAKE PLACE UNTIL SOMETIME IN SUMMER. OFFERED A CAR AS TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT. IT WAS INDICATED CAR WOULDN'T BE OF QUALITY OF MINE, WOULD BE OF ENTERPRISE RENTAL QUALITY. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNREASONABLE CONSIDERING THE PERIOD OF TIME. I DECLINED THE OFFER. WAS TOLD TO SIGN A LETTER OF REFUSAL. WASN'T TOLD DECLINE WAS AN OPTION (DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS). REQUIRED MY SIGNATURE ON THE DECLINATION. LATER I REALIZED THAT WAS MOST LIKELY A PLOY TO ESCAPE LITIGATION AGAINST ACURA AND/OR TAKATA IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT: OFFERING AN UNDESIRABLE OPTION AND LEAVING AN OWNER WITH REDUCED GROUNDS TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF HE SHOULD DECLINE. SHOULD THIS BE ALLOWED?

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING FAILS AT LOW SPEEDS. PARKING, REVERSING AND TURNING ETC. ONCE YOU ARE GOING ABOVE 10 MPH OR SO IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY.. BUT I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING FASTER AND SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPEN. WHEN I AM TRYING TO TURN OR PARK OR GET OUT OF A PARKING LOT... IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AND SCARY THAT I AM GOING TO HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE BECAUSE I CAN'T TURN MY CAR.
