TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA TL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MAGUIRE HONDA OF ITHACA, 315 ELMIRA RD, ITHACA, NY 14850, 607-273-1926) WHERE IT WAS INITIALLY DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT AXLES WERE CORRODED. THE FRONT AXLES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER THEN REPAIRED THE CARRIER BEARING, BUT IT ALSO FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE MULTIPLE REPAIRS FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE ABNORMAL NOISE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT HAD A WARRANTY, BUT THE DEALER HAD NOT VERIFIED IF THE VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED PER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CONTACT CALLED FOUNTAIN ACURA (8785 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32809) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

OVER THE YEARS SINCE I PURCHASED THE ACURA 06 TL I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY- CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES. I PURCHASED A FEW BATTERIES ALREADY. FINALLY ON 7-24-2017 I WAS OUT OF TOWN (WEST PALM BEACH) WHEN MY CAR WON'T START. I WENT TO CLOSEST ACURA DEALER WHERE I LEARNED THAT THE ISSUE WAS A DEFECTIVE HFL THAT HAD A PARASITIC DRAIN ON THE BATTERY FROM DEFECTIVE HFL. HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER BATTERY. ACURA NEVER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT OF HAND FREE LINK. IN PAST I HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER AND POWER STEERING. CERTAIN FEATURES STILL DOES NOT WORK- PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW, HEATING ELEMENT FOR CAR SEAT PASSENGER, POWER OUTLET IN CONSOLE BOX.

POWER STEERING RACK LEAKING INSIDE INTO THE BOOT. DEALER SAYS, THE RACK HAS FAILED AN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VERY UNUSUAL FOR A CAR WITH 70000 MILES ONLY TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING RACK LEAKING. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME COMPLAINT ON ACURAZINE FORUMS FOR ACURA TL CARS. HTTP://ACURAZINE.COM/FORUMS/THIRD-GENERATION-TL-2004-2008-93/ THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY.
