1999 ACURA TL Complaints

SENT MY CUSTOMER'S ACURA TO DEALER LAST MONTH FOR QUITTING PROBLEM, THEY DID A TRANSMISSION REPAIR. LOOKED AT CAR HERE AGAIN AND FOUND A BAD IGNITION SWITCH CAUSING PROBLEM. IGNITION SWITCH APPEARS TO BE COVERED BY A RECALL, CALLED DEALER TO VERIFY. NOT ONLY DID CUSTOMER NOT GET LETTER BUT EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS AT DEALER FOR REPAIR RECALLS DO NOT GET DONE. CAR QUITS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING! . *JB

MY 1999 ACURA TL STALLS ON ME ON THE ROAD, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, MEANING MY CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC. I LEARNED ABOUT A RECALL FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY AUTHORITY. RECALL NUMBERS: - 02V120000 ON 05/16/2002 - 05V025000 ON 01/28/2005 - 03V423000 ON 10/27/2003 THESE ARE ALL RECALLS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE IN MY CAR. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILIES AS WE USE THIS CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS FAILURE BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED. *JB

ACURA CONDUCTED AN WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR TL TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF BEING FORCED TO RECALL. MINE IS ACTING UP AND THE WARRANTY HAS PASSED. I OWN A 1999 ACURA TL. *NM

ACURA AND ITS DEALER FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUIRED IN RECALL 02V120000 CONCERNING THE IGNITION SWITCH. INSTEAD, THEY REPLACED A COMPONENT OF THE SWITCH. IGNITION SWITCH FAILED A SECOND TIME. *AK

CAR QUIT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH IN RAIN...... NO POWER, WIPERS, HARD TO STEER...... 4 WAY FLASHERS DID WORK. *JB

DT: TRANSMISSION SURGE, INCREASE IN SPEED WHEN STEPPING ON ACCELERATOR. SLAMMED INTO GEAR, MOSTLY WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD, AND AT A STAND STILL, AND THEN SURGED INTO GEAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS UNDER RECALL. THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX IT. CONSUMER WILL CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. *AK THE DIFFERENTIAL GEAR WOBBLED. WHICH CAUSED THE AXLE SEAL TO BREAK. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK OUT FROM THE AXLE CASING. THE DEALER SIMPLY REVEALED A BROKEN GASKET SEAL, A DEFECTIVE AXLE AND NOT THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (DIFFERENTIAL WOBBLING). *SC *JB

PROBLEMS WITH IGNITION SWITCH ON 1999 ACURA 3.2TL.*MR ON SEVERAL OCCASION THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN TESTED AND REPLACED. THE CONSUMER DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL ON HIS VEHICLE. *NM

THERE IS A RECALL ON TRANSMISSION FOR A 1999 ACURA TL. ONE OF THE REASON FOR THE RECALL STATED ON ACURA WEBSITE IS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH LEAKED ATF TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT'S NOT COVER IN THE RECALL. I CALLED ACURA BUT THERE IS STILL NO REPLY. I WAS CHARGED $90.00 FOR DIAGNOSIS. *AK

HD HEADLIGHTS ON 1999 ACURA 3.2 TL HAVE BEEN STOLEN TWICE WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. CALLED DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT MAYBE PUTTING LOCKS OR SOMETHING PREVENTING THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I WAS TOLD UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. WITH THE NEWER MODELS THEY ARE NOT THAT EASY TO TAKE OUT. I ALSO CALLED SEVERAL ALARM COMPANIES TO INQUIRE ABOUT MOTION SENSOR ALARMS AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN WITH THAT, IF THERE IS NO IMPACT TO THE CAR, THE ALARM WON'T GO OFF, HOWEVER, IT WILL GO OFF ONCE THE HOOD IS TOUCHED BUT BY THAT TIME, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN STOLEN ALREADY. *NM

WHILE ACCELERATING GEARS JERKED. DEALER STATED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK
