2006 ACURA TL Complaints

I was told by a mechanic that this 2006 Acura TL I bought from Joe's Garage here In Clovis Ca was a car I do not want to be driving. Now when purchased from Joe's Garage he stated he put engine didn't say new or used, He also said the car was practically brand new because previous owner was a high school kid who assume he cracked his radiator and was not the problem, but the kid bought a new car and left Acura there since. Since the purchased I had nothing, but engine problems told Joe never responded I did my own research come to find out Joe's business licensed was suspended and that where he got my car Acura to pass smog of course was a smog business already being investigated for passing car illegally. So I took my Acura to Acura dealer here In Fresno Ca I was told all motor mounts were cracked so they replaced all motor mounts and installed used motor charging me $7,000 at that time I was in the process of suing Joe's Garage however since I have had no car emotionally distress because I paid $2700 for Acura trusting this business man come to find out its Salvaged vehicle now you can understand how frustrated I am not including the losses in my life back to back not been able to just mourn rest etc because of cruel business companies intentions. I'm not asking for much all I want is for you to give Acura Dealer here in Fresno ca the ok to make sure my car is or passed the safety and drivable test making sure everything on car is safe to drive at no cost to me. I have grandkids who are my world and I need to have a good reliable car for them Nathan here at Acura Dealer called me yesterday asking me if I had money, I said no I will file my taxes and see but I honestly feel and would appreciate your help on closing the two companies for good and release my car to me at no cost.

I have owned this vehicle for about 9 years and been seeing major cracks in the IP trim, around passenger airbag area. The cracks started to develop about 5 years ago. They were insignificant in the beginning but have accelerated very quickly over the past year or so and seem to be getting worse by the month. I am concerned that these cracks would result in malfunctioning of passenger side airbag in an accident. I purchased this vehicle used and there has not been an accident since I have owned it.

I HAVE A 06 ACURA TL AND FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HEARD A VERY WINDING UP AND DOWN NOISE UNDER THE HOOD, WHEN I AM TURNING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IT GETS LOUDER . I NOTICED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT ACURA TELLS ME NO ! I TOOK IT TO A SHOPS AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT'S MY POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKING/ COULD BE BAD .. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR , BUT LATELY ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE COMING FULL CIRCLE. I FIND RECALLS AND WHEN I CALL THEM ABOUT IT THEY SAID IT'S NOT MY CAR BUT I SEE ON THE WEBSITE THAT IT IS , BUT NOT MY VIN # !

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I WAS COMING TO GET READY TO STOP I STARTED TO BREAK, AT THAT TIME MY BRAKE SYSTEM FELT LIKE I WAS SLIPPING ON BLACK ICE YOU COULD SAY . BUT THE ROAD WAS DRY ! MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP NORMAL I SOMEHOW BY THE GRACE OF GOD GOT IT PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET ! MY ABS AND VSA AND THE TRIANGLE WITH ( ! ) WITCH IS ORANGE ALSO ALL CAME ON . I SHUT MY CAR OFF ! AND HAD IT TOWED HOME .. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE LOOK AND SHOW ME BEHIND MY TWO FRONT TIRES THAT THE SPEED SENSORS ARE ON BOTH SIDES DETERRATED AND THE BOLTS ARE MISSING THAT CONNECT EVERYTHING IN PLACE . I HAVE LOOKED UP AND SEEN RECALLS ON THIS SAME SITUATION I AM NOW GOING THREW !

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, MY CAR'S BATTERY WOULD PREMATURELY DRAIN TO THE POINT OF MY HAVING TO PURCHASE SEVERAL BATTERIES IN A MUCH SHORTER PERIOD THAN USUAL. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM. BUT ONLY AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE WAS I ABLE TO DETERMINE THE TRUE ISSUE. APPARENTLY, A MODULE USED TO CONTROL THE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE, AND THE COMPANY HAD KNOWN FOR YEARS AND STILL REFUSED TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND FIX THE ISSUE. I AM AN AGORAPHOBIC PERSON WHO SUFFERS FROM BIPOLAR DISORDER AND OTHER ANXIETY CONDITIONS, SO SIMPLY STICKING A CAR CAN BE TRAUMATIC IN CERTAIN SITUATION. ONE SUCH SITUATION IS EXPECTING BOTH ONE'S NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND BATTERY PERFORM ADEQUATELY AND SAFELY ALL THE TIME; MY REASON FOR PURCHASING THE CAR WAS BECAUSE IT HAD THE PREMIUM NAVIGATION OPTION, WHICH, AT THE TIME, HELPED ALLEVIATE MY ANXIETY BY PROVIDING VERBAL DIRECTIONS IN REAL TIME TO MY LOCATION, WHICH REDUCES THE ANXIETY FROM THE AGORAPHOBIA. IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, MY ANXIETY LEVEL HAS INCREASED TO UNHEALTHY LEVELS SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE BATTERY CAUSED BY SOME PHANTOM DRAIN FROM A MODULE CONTROLLING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM. NISSAN LITERALLY PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER IN ITS FAILURE TO WARN ME ABOUT THE FAULTY MODULE. I DISCONNECTED THE MODULE AND PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY A FEW MONTHS AGO AND ALL SEEMED WELL, OTHER THAN NO NAVIGATION. NOW, IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC MY BATTERY IS DYING AGAIN IN THE MOST INCONVENIENT PLACES SUCH THAT I'M LITERALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP AND MAKE THEM FIX THIS. WHILE I KNOW LONGER NEED THE NAVIGATION WITH MODERN PHONES, HAVING THE BLUETOOTH THROUGH THE NAV SYSTEM IS CONVENIENT, PLUS, I'VE LOST A PREMIUM OPTION THAT WAS MY REASON FOR BUYING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!

WELL MY AIR BAG SENSOR, MY PSA LIGHT AND MY TPSA LIGHT IS ON. ALL DEALING WITH FAULTY SENSORS AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. AND MY AIR BAG SENSOR WILL COME ON ONCE IN AWHILE, SAYING IT'S OFF. AND FROM THE ACURA TL COMMUNITY 2003 TO 2006 HAVE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS. EVERYBODY I KNOW AND TALK TO THAT HAVE A TL THAT FALLS INTO THOSE YEARS, HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS EITHER REBUILT OR REPLACED. AND NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT IT. I WANT TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT THESE VEHICLES HAVE ONE OF THE WORST TRANSMISSIONS OTHER THAN THE HONDA ODDESSY BUT HONDA HAS A RECALL ON THERE TRANSMISSIONS. SO HOPEFULLY ONE DAY ACURA CAN DO THE SAME.
