I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DUE TO A MECHANICAL RECALL THAT WENT UNDIAGNOSED.( OVER OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL, IN WHICH I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE UNTIL FINALLY RECEIVING THE LETTER PRODIVIDED) I WAS DRIVING OFF OF PLEASANT STREET IN HANSON MA, CROSSING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD WHEN MY VEHICLE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN AND FROZE THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO A POLICE OFFICER WAS ON THE SCENE TO HELP ME SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN CALLING ACURA OF HONDA AND THEY HAVE BEEN RUNNING ME IN CIRCLES WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON THE PHONE AND DENIED THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO COVER THIS PROBLEM, AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WHICH THE CLAIM SAFETY IS FIRST AND FOR THE CLIENT, BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO DELIVER ON THEIR OWN WORDS IN THE SAFETY RECALL. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY DOWN IN HOPES THAT THEY SUPPLY A REPAIR SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN MUCH AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I ACCELERATED, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WITH MODERATE THROTTLE. I HAD TO FLOOR THE THROTTLE TO MOVE, AND THE ENGINE RPM JUMPED TO ABOUT 6000. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT, EITHER AUTOMATICALLY OR THROUGH THE "MANUAL" FUNCTION ON THE GEAR SELECTOR. OVER THE NEXT 1.5 MILES, I NOTICED SMOKE IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND A BURNING SMELL. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE HOOD AND A TRAIL OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE CAR. CAR WAS TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE RUNNING TO THE RADIATOR HAD RUPTURED DUE TO CORROSION. TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES AND RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE SOME SUSPENSION RELATED ISSUES THAT HAVE RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 11E022000 BUT WHEN I TYPE IN MY VIN# ON YOUR WEBSITE IT SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ITEM ON MY 2008 ACURA TL. I HAVE ANOTHER DIAGNOSED ISSUE WITH THE STEERING FROM YOUR RECALL # 08V091000 AND THERE IS NO LISTING FOR THIS RECALL ON MY VEHICLE ON YOUR WEBSITE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS LOSING POWER STEERING FLUID DUE TO INTENSE HEAT AND THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE IS DETERIORATING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, YET SEE THE RECALL IS FOR CERTAIN 2008 MODELS. WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THIS? ANOTHER DIAGNOSED ISSUE IS THE POWERTRAIN RECALL # 04V176000 THAT IS ALSO NOT LISTED FOR MY VEHICLE. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GEARS AND AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2ND GEAR. I WILL BE NOTIFYING HONDA, ON ALL THESE ISSUES, BUT THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE AWARE ON THE DETERMINATION OF "CERTAIN 2008" MODELS.

VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY HESITATES, VERY HEAVILY, WHEN ACCELERATING UPHILL, LIKE ON FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMPS. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ABRUPTLY, OR FROM FIRST OF SECOND GEAR, IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS DOWN SHIFTING, WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS OR WHEN USING A FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

MY 2009 ACURA TL STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I CAN BE PULLING OUT FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, PULLING OFF AFTER PAUSING AT A STOP SIGN, CHANGING GEARS FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE, OR JUST SIMPLY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR A CITY STREET. MY CAR CAN HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS OR LESS THAN HALF OF A TANK OF GAS, IT CAN BE COLD OR HOT OUTSIDE, IT CAN BE THE FIRST TIME I MOVE MY CAR FOR THE DAY OR THE TENTH TIME, ETC. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE EXACT ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM GROWING MORE AND MORE CONCERNED THAT THIS STALLING COULD PLACE ME IN IMMINENT DANGER BUT UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY VEHICLE IS REAR-ENDED. PRAYERFULLY, THIS DOESN'T OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY (IN WHICH I DRIVE TO WORK DAILY!) IN WHICH SPEEDS COULD EXCEED 80-MPH. I INITIALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN LATE JANUARY/FEBRUARY. I JUST ASSUMED THAT IT WAS IN RELATION TO THE COLD WEATHER. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ACURA AT OXMOOR TWICE IN RELATION TO THIS PROBLEM - RESULTING IN ALMOST $700 WORTH OF EXPENSES. THEY COMPLETED A DIAGNOSTICS AND ENDED UP 1. REPLACING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR; 2. PERFORMING TRANSMISSION SERVICE; AND PERFORMING FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED. BASED ON MY REVIEW OF ACURA BLOGS ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY PREVALENT AMONGST OTHER ACURA TL OWNERS AND MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE PROBLEM COULD BE RELATED TO ACURA TSB #B16033. MY CAR HAS MORE THAN 120K MILES ON IT. BUT CONSIDERING THE MANUFACTURER, COST, AND CONTINUED PROPER MAINTENANCE (WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN PERFORMED AT ACURA OF OXMOOR), I WOULD EXPECT MY CAR TO LAST AT LEAST 10 YEARS WITHOUT MAJOR TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE PROBLEMS.

GROWLING AND VIBRATION FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN GOING 35-40 MPH. WAS TOLD IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER AGAIN. HAVE HAD IT REPLACED TWICE NOW, GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER LAST NIGHT AND IT'S DOING IT AGAIN. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW (REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER TWICE AND UPDATED SOFTWARE TWICE.) IT'S HAPPENING LIKE CLOCK WORK - EVERY 2 YEARS THE ISSUE RESURFACES.

MY 2008 ACURA TL CONTINUES TO DISPLAY A "TIGHTEN FUEL CAP" WARNING LIGHT. I'VE REPLACED THE FUEL CAP, BUT IT CONTINUES TO DISPLAY THIS LIGHT. IT IS VERY ANNOYING, AND I'VE BEEN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT MOTOR MOUNT AND TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING GEAR GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND IT TAKES MANY ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT GEAR WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS. GEAR GETS STUCK SO BAD IT IS CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE IT INTO DRIVE OR PARKING POSITION. I'VE HAD OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PAST, OLDER THAN THIS ONE, YET NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH EITHER ONE OF THEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR CAN STALL IN TRAFFIC AND CAN GET HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I'M TRYING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. *TR
