1999 ACURA TL Complaints

WHILE STOPPED, WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I WAS WAITING FOR MY GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN. THE GARAGE DOOR STARTED TO OPEN AND IT WAS ABOUT HALF WAY UP WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THINKING I WOULD HIT THE GARAGE DOOR AND HAVE MY HEAD TORN OFF I DUCKED TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SEAT AS BEST I COULD. THE CAR DID HIT THE GARAGE DOOR A GLANCING BLOW OFF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE ROOF. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UNTIL IT HIT THE REAR WALL OF THE GARAGE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE CAR HALTED. SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CAR, MOST LIKELY TO BE TOTALED. SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY HOME. THE CAR IS A 1999 ACURA 3.2TL. I SUFFERED INJURY TO MY LEFT WRIST AND LEFT KNEE. *NM

I HAVE AN ACURA TL 2003 VIN [XXX]. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR (NEW, PURCHASED ON NOV 7, 1998) ON SEVERAL TIMES ITS 'CHECK ENGINE' INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF WITHOUT ANY REPAIR OR ANY CHANGE. ACURA HAD A RECALL ON EGR SYSTEM CLOGGING. BUT IN MY CAR THIS INDICATOR LIGHT STILL COMES ON AND THEN GOES OFF WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO SERVICE CENTER THEY TOLD ME THAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BAD, BEFORE I COULD GET IT FIXED THE INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF. BUT IN FEW DAYS "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME BACK AGAIN. THIS INDICATOR LIGHT OFF-ON CYCLE STILL GOING ON, IT GOES OFF FOR WEEKS AND COMES BACK ON FOR WEEKS. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THIS ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY INDICATOR. *LA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

1999 ACURA TL ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE EXECUTING A TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT TOOK HARD BRAKING TO BRING THE CAR TO A HARD STOP. THE CAR SUSTAINED BUMPER SCRATCHES BUT WAS OTHERWISE UNDAMAGED. THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME, A LARGE SUV HAD NO DENTS OR OTHER DAMAGE. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. I AM TAKING THE CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR CHECKING TOMORROW. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, ALSO WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I DID NOT REPORT IT AT THAT TIME, THINKING I MUST HAVE BEEN DISTRACTED SOMEHOW. THIS TIME I WAS ABSOLUTELY SURE THE ENGINE ACTED ON ITS OWN PRESUMABLY UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE COMPUTER.*AK

I OWN A 99 ACURA TL. RECEIVE A NOTICE FROM ACURA REGARDING AN EXTENSION OF WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. I WENT ON INTERNET TO DO RESEARCH, TO MY HORROR, THERE ARE PEOPLE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION REPLACED UP TO 6 TIMES. IN SOME OCCASION IT WAS REPORTED THE TRANSMISSON FAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE UTMOST SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY.*AK
