1999 ACURA TL Complaints

THE REARVIEW MIRROR OF 1999-2003 ACURA TL SHOULD BE RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONCE IT FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY (WHICH IS MY CASE AT THIS TIME, 99 TL) IT MAY EXPLODE AT ANY TIME AND COULD CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS LEADING FROM PERSONAL INJURY TO DEATLY ACCIDENT IF WHILE ON DRIVING. IT'S ALREADY HAPPEN TO SOME ACURA'S OWNER RECENTLY. ACURA SEEMS TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM AND SO THE MANUFACTURE OF REVIEW MIRROR. ITS DRIPPING FLUID IS ALREADY DAMAGED PART OF MY PROPERTY, THAT'S A WARNING SIGN TO ME, MY CONCERN IS MORE ABOUT ITS EXPLOSION WHICH IS NEXT. THANKS FOR READING MY COMPLAINT. *TR

I HAVE BROUGHT AUTO IN TWICE TO DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR PARTS AND STILL IS NOT REPAIRED. RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 02V12000, 03V423000, 05V025000. *TR

REARVIEW MIRROR CONTAINS CHEMICALS THAT HAVE LEAKED OUT OF ITS HOUSING. THIS HAS CAUSED THE MIRROR TO BECOME DISTORTED AND DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF. THE CHEMICALS ARE A POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE MIRROR. *TR

I HAVE HAD TWO OCCASION NOW WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAS FAILED IN MY 1999 ACURA TL. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING LEAVING THE CAR WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. TO GO ALONG WITH THIS THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR EVERY YEAR SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR WHICH I BELIEVE IS RELATED. THIS IS UNSAFE AND VERY COSTLY TODAY'S BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH REPAIR IS $231.01. *TR

MY VEHICLE HABITUALLY DEMONSTRATES THE PERFORMANCE FAILURES DETAILED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER # 04V176000. ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THE RECALL IS LIMITED TO THE 2000-2004 MODELS, THE SYMPTOMS OF THE PRODUCT FAILURE ON MY VEHICLE MATCH IDENTICALLY. MY 2ND GEAR HAS BEEN RUINED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. *TR

I OWN A 1999 ACURA TL, MY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH WAS RECALLED IN 2002 AND REPLACED IS FAILING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN IT IS HOT. THE CAR WILL STALL FOR NO REASON. IT SEEMS TO STALL MOST OFTEN AT THE HIGHER RATES OF SPEED BUT NOW IS STALLING ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS
