2005 ACURA TSX Complaints

THE REAR BUMPER WAS DISCOLORED AND THE ACURA DEALERSHIP, STERLING MCCALL ACURA, ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION. LATER WHEN THE BUMPER PEALED OFF AND SOME OF THE ORIGINAL PAINT WAS SHOWING THROUGH THEY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FIX THE CAR. THE CLAIM AT 4K MILES THERE WAS A LITTLE FENDER BENDER, BUT I'M DOUBTFUL THAT IS THE TRUTH. THE REAR DOORS DON'T CLOSE RIGHT AND SQUEAK AS IF ITS HAD A REAR END COLLISION. I COMPLAINED TO THE BBB, ACURA CLIENT SERVICES (NO HELP) AND STERLING MCCALL THEMSELVES. THEY SIMPLY SLAPPED ON MORE PAINT AND NOW ITS PEALING AGAIN! *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, TAKING A RAMP FROM ONE ROAD TO ANOTHER, NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM RIGHT REAR TIRE. WHILE TRYING TO REACH AN EXIT, FELT THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT, AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON SHOULDER. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A REST, THE TIRE WAS SITTING ON THE ROAD BEHIND THE CAR, STILL IN AN INTACT CIRCLE. THE TIRE WAS INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED TIRE DEALER WHO COULD FIND NO ROAD HAZARD METHOD OF TIRE FAILURE, AND THE MANUFACTURER DECIDED THAT ALTHOUGH THEY NORMALLY DO NOT COVER THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE UNDER WARRANTY, THEY PAID 35% OF THE REPLACEMENT COST OF A NEW TIRE. THE DAMAGE LOOKS LIKE A SIDEWALL FAILURE. *JB

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT,WHERE I WAS REAR ENDED AND PUSHED UP AGAINST THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR SUSTAINED FRONT AND REAR DAMAGE, BUT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY, ALLSTATE. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW 2005 ACURA TSX. *AK

ACURA OF MEMPHIS IS SELLING VEHICLES PREVIOUSLY INFESTED AND DAMAGED BY RODENTS, PASSING THE COST OF REPAIRS TO THE CONSUMERS. I AM A VICTIM. HOW CAN THIS BE? THIS IS THE FIFTH BRAND NEW CAR THAT I HAVE PURCHASED/OWNED AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF OR EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WITH RODENTS NESTING UNDER THE HOOD THE CAR IS LESS THEN TWO YEARS OLD. MY CAR IS DRIVEN EVERY DAY IS ACURA MAKING CARS WITH PRODUCTS THAT ATTRACT RODENTS AND RACCOONS? WHERE WAS MY CAR PREVIOUSLY STORED BEFORE ARRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP? HOW LONG WAS MY VEHICLE IN STORAGE BEFORE ARRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BEING SOLD TO ME AND OTHER CONSUMERS? RODENTS NESTING AND CHEWING WIRES UNDER THE HOOD, THIS HAPPENED BEFORE I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AND NOW IT HAS MANIFESTED 17 MONTHS LATER. I WANT ALL REPAIRS DONE AT NO COST OR A NEW VEHICLE. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT ELSE IS GETTING READY TO STOP FUNCTIONING OR WHAT WILL BE THE NEXT WARNING LIGHT TO DISPLAY ON MY DASH BOARD. *JB
