  STEERING, SUSPENSION

  STEERING VIBRATES FROM 45 TO 75MPH, DEALER HAS TEST DROVE AND ALSO FELT THE VIBRATION, AND TOLD THAT IS THE TSX WAGON CHARACTISTIC, AND REFUSED TO DO A FURTHER DIAGNOSE. 2 WHEEL ALIGNMENT FOR THE 1ST 2 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP THEN 2 ROAD FORCE TIRE BALANCED AND STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, THIS IS ALL HAPPENED IN 4 WEEKS. THE STEERING VIBRATION COULD CAUSE BY BAD MOTOR MOUNT, TRANSMISSION MOUNT, AXELS, BAD SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, BAD ROTORS. NEW CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY STEERING VIBRATION, SPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

  FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR IN FRONT SLOWS DOWN, I LET OFF OF ACCELERATOR, THEN PRESS DOWN ON ACCELERATOR AGAIN WHEN APPROPRIATE, THE CAR STALLS AND THEN LEAPS FORWARD. THIS CAUSES AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM AND THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE APPLIED OR THE CAR IN FRONT GETS REAR ENDED. THE ACURA DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, BUT, THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ACURA WON'T FIX IT. *TR
