1. HFL LHAS CONTINUOUSLY DRAINED SEVERAL BATTERIES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2008. UNTIL RECENTLY I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THE HFL UNTIL THE ACURA DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT EITHER NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REMOVED. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR, SO I HAD IT REMOVED. I ALSO JUST PURCHASED A 2007 ACURA TL S AND WHILE I WAS SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP INPUTTING THE RADIO INFO AND ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH TO THE HFL LINK THE BATTERY BECAME COMPLETELY DRAINED IN LESS THAN 10 MIN. THE HFL HAS NOT WORKED IN THE 2005 SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND IT DOES NOT WORK ON THE 2007 EITHER. I HAVE A SEPARATE COMPLAINT FORM FILLED OUT FOR THAT CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ACURA TL, BUT NOT A RECALL YET. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. 2. THE POWER STEERING HAS SEEMED TO GO OUT OVER THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND IT HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO STEER. IF I CAN REMEMBER THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE POWER STEERING HOSE FOR THIS MODEL TL. I BELIEVE IT WAS REPAIRED DURING THE INITIAL RECALL, BUT THE ACURA DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE THE PART AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

MY ISSUES WITH MY CAR STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PUMP AFTER THE ACURA RECALLED THE HOSES, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE HOSES HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER, THE HEADLIGHT COMPUTER UNIT, AND BOTH IGNITORS IN THE HEADLIGHT. I AM ON MY THIRD BATTERY IN 2 YEARS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY MY BATTERY IS CONTINUOUSLY DYING. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING. IN THE LAST YEAR, MY DASHBOARD HAS STARTED TO CRACK FROM THE DRIVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND THE DAMAGE IS MUCH SEVERE AND PROMINENT OVER THE AIR BAG AREA. I WAS TOLD BY ACURA SUPPORT THAT IT SHOULD NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS TO THE AIR BAG, AND THE AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY APPROPRIATELY WITH NO PROBLEMS. PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING MY SO-CALLED "LUXURY" ACURA, I HAD A 2000 HONDA CIVIC, AND I NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH IT. THINKING THAT I PURCHASE AN ACURA, AND IT WAS THE WORST MISTAKE I'VE MADE IN MY LIFE. I HAVE ADVISED ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS NOT TO PURCHASE AN ACURA BECAUSE THE QUALITY SUCKS AND IT IS A WASTE OF YOUR MONEY DUE TO ALL THE MONEY YOU HAVE TO PUT IN FOR THE REPAIRS. IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, I'VE SPENT ALMOST $4000 ON REPAIRS FOR SIMPLE THINGS LIKE HEADLIGHT ISSUES AND SENSORS. I SPOKE WITH ACURA CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRING MY DASHBOARD AND I WAS OFFER A 50% DISCOUNT BASED ON THEIR CRITERIA WHICH I BELIEVE ARE RIDICULOUS. ONE OF THE CRITERIA THAT THEY LOOK AT IS TO SEE HAVE YOU BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS ARE CONCERNED. I INFORMED THE GUY THAT THE NEAREST ACURA DEALERSHIP IS AN HOUR AND HALF AWAY FROM MY HOME, AND IT MADE NO SENSE FOR MY TO DRIVE THE DISTANCE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. COMPLETELY FED UP WITH ACURA!! *TR
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling specific 2003 Acura 3.2CL, 2013-2016 ILX, 2013-2014 ILX Hybrid, 2003-2006 MDX, 2007-2016 RDX, 2002-2003 3.2TL, 2004-2006, and 2009-2014 TL, 2010-2013 ZDX and 2001-2007 and 2009 Honda Accord, 2001-2005 Civic, 2003-2005 Civic Hybrid, 2001-2005 Civic GX NGV, 2002-2007 and 2010-2011 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2007 Fit, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2008 Pilot, and 2006-2014 Ridgeline vehicles. The affected vehicles received a replacement driver air bag inflator as part of a previous Takata inflator recall remedy or a replacement driver air bag module containing the same inflator type as a service part. Due to a manufacturing error, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver frontal air bag, these inflators may explode.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag inflator with an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began April 10, 2019. Honda owners may contact customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is O41. Acura owners may contact customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Acura's number for this recall is U40.
HONDA IS RECALLING 273,000 MY 2004-2008 ACURA TL VEHICLES. PROLONGED HIGH UNDER-HOOD TEMPERATURES MAY CAUSE THE POWER STEERING HOSE TO DETERIORATE PREMATURELY CAUSING THE HOSE TO CRACK AND LEAK POWER STEERING FLUID.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING ONTO A HOT CATALYTIC CONVERTER WILL GENERATE SMOKE AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO AN UNDER-HOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW HEAT RESISTANT POWER STEERING HOSE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 28, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ACURA AT 800-382-2238. THIS IS AN EXPANSION OF A PREVIOUS RECALL (PLEASE SEE 07V551).
HONDA IS RECALLING 129,600 MY 2004-2005 ACURA TL VEHICLES. IF WATER ENTERS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BREATHER PORT, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE MOTOR TO VENT WARM AIR DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT CAN RESULT IN CORROSION INSIDE THE MOTOR HOUSING. THIS COULD CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BREAKER INSIDE THE MOTOR HOUSING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FAILS, IT WILL CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR TO BECOME INOPERATIVE, WHICH CAN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FOR SIGNS OF CORROSION. IF NO SIGNS OF CORROSION ARE PRESENT, A SNORKEL TUBE WILL BE ADDED TO THE WIPER MOTOR BREATHER PORT TO PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE WIPER MOTOR HOUSING AND FOAM TAPE WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE COWL ABOVE THE WIPER MOTOR TO DIRECT WATER AWAY FROM THE WIPER MOTOR. IF SIGNS OF CORROSION DAMAGE ARE OBSERVED ON THE WIPER MOTOR, THE MOTOR WILL BE REPLACED, AND THE BREATHER TUBE AND FOAM TAPE WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION ON THE NEW WIPER MOTOR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 28, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, A COIL WIRE INSIDE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MAY BREAK, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO LOSE POWER. IF THE FUEL PUMP BECOMES INOPERATIVE, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE FUEL PUMP LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE COULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING, AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 2, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, A LOOSE TERMINAL IN THE MAIN FUSE BOX MAY CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP TO LOSE POWER. IF THE FUEL PUMP BECOMES INOPERATIVE, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE FUEL PUMP LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE COULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 13, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
