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

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 NISSAN 350Z AND I'M EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH SEVERE FRONT TIRE FEATHERING. I HAVE MADE NISSAN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH CAUSE A LOUD ROARING NOISE AND VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS MY BRAKES BUT AFTER JUST 10K000 MILES REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND REALIZED THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER MY SECOND TIME TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT TIRES WERE NO LONGER GOOD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT JUST UNDER 14000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE TIRES AND POSSIBLY A TOEING PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN 350Z'S. I REGISTERED A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN AT 1800-NISSAN-1 AND IT DOESN'T SEEM AS THOUGH THEY WILL RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURED WITH 2003 350Z'S.*AK
