2007 Acura Tl

SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIMES FOR THE "TIGHTEN FUEL CAP" LIGHT. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. I SWITCHED DEALERSHIPS AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE FUEL CAP, NECK AND ANOTHER PART THAT I CANNOT RECALL NOW. THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME, NOW I HAVE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC CODE, 2 ACTUALLY, P0171 AND P0174. THE MESSAGE CENTER FOR THE FUEL CAP AND THESE CODES ALL SAID IT IS RELATED TO MY EMISSION SYSTEM. I SEE ONE OTHER PERSON FILED A COMPLAINT ON HERE RELATIVE TO THE GAS CAP LIGHT COMING ON. I AM COMING CLOSE TO THE END OF MY WARRANTY AND ASKED ACURA TO EXTEND IT BUT WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK WHEN IT CLOSER TO EXPIRING. THIS IS NOT BOOSTING MY CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW ON 2007 ACURA TL WENT UP WITHOUT ME HITTING BUTTON, I HAD PRESSED TO GO DOWN, GOT OUT OF CAR AND WAS CLOSING THE DOOR WHEN WINDOW WENT UP AND CRUSHED MY FINGER BREAKING IT BADLY. I HAVE PURCHASED CAR FROM FLORIDA , LIVE IN NEW BRUNSWICK , CANADA , THE FORM DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CANADIAN ADDRESS SO I HAD TO PUT IN MAINE TO ALLOW TO CONTINUE ?? *TR

THIS WEEK MY ACURA TL 2007 4 DR SDN AT BEGIN TO MISS A LITTLE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. YESTERDAY AS I WAS PULLING FORWARD INTO AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. EVERYONE STARTED HONKING AT MY BEING IN THE WAY AND I WAS ABLE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE THE CAR VERY SLOWLY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD STARTED LIGHTING UP THAT I MUST TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND FOR SOME REASON MY CAR WOULD ACCELERATOR FAST ENOUGH TO DRIVE THE 10 MILES TO THE ACURA DEALER. THE ACURA DEALER CHECKED OUT THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY FOUND THAT THE P2138 APP SENSOR HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE. THEY REPLACED THE APP SENSOR. THE SERVICE PERSON EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR HAS A SENSOR THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE ACCELERATOR AND DID NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR LIKE OLDER CARS USED TO DO WHEN THEY WERE CONNECTED TO A CABLE. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND HE SAID, "ABSOLUTELY NOT." I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF THE WAY OF AN ONCOMING TRUCK AND THE SENSOR FAILED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA TL. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO THIRD GEAR. WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS RELEASED, THE TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER ON TWELVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR IDENTICAL FAILURES, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT TWICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000. UPDATED 07/28/09. *LJ UPDATED 07/30/09.*JB

WARNING ON MESSAGE CENTER OF 2007 ACURA TL "AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT" . THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT/FIX OF THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED JUNE 9TH OF THIS YEAR, THE PREVIOUS TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY JAN 3RD 2008. PARTS REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO SERVICE MANAGER. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH A SENSOR/ WIRING OR OTHER PART ON 2007 ACURA TL MODELS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS NO INJURY. I HAVE A 2007 ACURA TL TYPE S WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL. THE CLUTCH BEGAN TO SLIP AND NOT OPERATE LIKE IT DID BEFORE. I HAVE DRIVEN STICK SHIFT FOR 5 YEARS. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST MANUAL CAR BUT MY 7TH MANUAL CAR. I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE MANUAL. THE CLUTCH GAVE OUT AT AROUND 28,000. ACURA OF RIVERSIDE HAS LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE CLUTCH IS NO GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO SAID A FEW WEEKS AGO ANOTHER ACURA TL TYPE S HAS REPLACED THE CLUTCH. THE SERVICE TECH HAS QUOTED ME OVER $2,000 TO GET THE CAR WORKING. I BELIEVE THAT ACURA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION AS THEY DID WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE PASS. MY OTHER CARS LASTED BETWEEN 120K TO 150K WITH THE FACTORY CLUTCH. I HAVE RESEARCH ONLINE AND OTHER PROBLEM ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY FAIR THAT THEY FIX THIS ISSUE AS A DEFECTIVE INSTEAD OF MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEMS. THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT AND CONSIDER IT MY FAULT. I BELIEVE IT IS A ON GOING PROBLEM AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
