2007 Acura Tl

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK EARLY MORNING AROUND 3.AM ,DRIVING ON HWY 74ORTEGA WITCH CUTS THRU THE MOUNTAINS FROM RIVERSIDE COUNTY INTO ORANGE COUNTY. ITS A CURVY ROAD AND IT'S CLAIMED A LOT OF LIVES,AS I GOT CLOSE TOO EXITING THE CURVY ROADS AND MOUNTAINS. THE LAST CURVE IS REALLY BAD AS I WENT TO STEP ON THE BREAKS TO SLOW ON THE CURVE THE BREAK PEDAL SANK ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.AND I COULD NOT (STOP) .THE CAR REACHED 70MPH.ON THE HWY DOWN HILL .THEIR WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME .AS I WAS ABOUT TO SLAM INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME I REMEMBER TO DOWN SHIFT AND IT SKIDDED FOR A FEW FEET THEN I GOT SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR.I MANAGED TO PULL ONTO A SHOULDER AND I GOT OUT TO CHECK WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE BREAKS BUT IT WAS STILL DARK AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. I WAS ALREADY LATE FOR WORK AND SINCE THEIRS NO CELLPHONE SIGNAL.I HAD TOO KEEP DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR MORE TOGET TO MY JOB WHEN I GOT THEIR IT WAS A LITTLE MORE SUN LIGHT SO I CHECKED MY CAR AGAIN .I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AND SAW OIL SPILLING ONTO THE GROUND AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE BREAK LINE HANGING FROM THE SHOCKOBSORBER WHERE IT IS BOLTED ON TOO.I LOOKED AT THE LINE AND IT RUPTURED RIGHT OUT OF THE CALIPERS. THE END THAT SCREWS INTO THE CALIPER RUPTURED RIGHT OUT.THE HOLLOW BOLT STAYED IN THE CALIPER BUT THE BREAK LINE CAME OUT.I'M CONCERN ABOUT THE OTHER THREE LINES .I COULD OF KILLED SOMEONE.THANK GOD IT WAS NOT AT AN INTERSECTION OR BY A SCHOOL. PLEASE HELP TO HAVE MY BREAKS LINES REPLACED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A STATE ROADWAY STRUCK A POTHOLE AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HIT POT HOLE HOWEVER THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS AND SEAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND PULL OFF HIGHWAY. THE SEAT BELT ALSO LOCKED UP. THE BAGS DEPLOYING DID NOT CAUSE CRASH OR INJURY HOWEVER DEPLOYMENT WAS VERY LOUD AND CAUSE EAR RINGING FOR 48 HOURS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE HOME AFTER MAKING POLICE REPORT. AIR BAG LIGHT IS LIT UP ON DASH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE TODAY AND AS I DRIVE INTO THE LOT MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING A BUZZING, WHINING SOUND, I POPPED THE HOOD TO FIND THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS LEAKING A LOT OF FLUID. AFTER I PARKED THE CAR THE FLUID WAS LEAKING A LOT MORE AND DRIPPUN ALL OVER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ENGINE, AXLES. I'VE ALREADY SPENT OVER 250.00 REPLACING IT AT FIRESTONE BEFORE I FOUND OUT THE CAR HAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND PART. IT IS A USED CAR. *TR

THERE IS A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY. IF THE CAR SITS FOR JUST AN HOUR OR SOMETIMES A FEW DAYS, IT MAY NOT START BECAUSE THE BATTERY HAS DRAINED. WE HAVE HAD TO JUMP IT AND TRICKLE CHARGE IT MULTIPLE TIMES. FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM FOR ACURA OWNERS. ACURA SHOULD FIX THIS AS SO MANY CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

INITIALLY I OBSERVED A AIRLINE SIZED CRACK ON PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD RIGHT ON AIRBAG. SLOWLY IT ENLARGED AND NOW I SEE ANOTHER CRACK AROUND THE SAME AREA. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, I FOUND THAT IT'S NOT ONLY ME BUT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH ACURA TLS. WHEN I WENT TITHE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THE REPAIR COST IS ABOUT 2,000 USD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA TL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE ROADSIDE SERVICE CHANGED THE BATTERY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN A LOWER SPEED AND IT SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

VEHICLE'S BATTERY DRAINED WHILE SITTING FOR 2 WEEKS WITHOUT DRIVING IT. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER DIAGNOSED A BATTERY DRAIN COMING FROM THE HANDSFREE LINK UNIT. PART WAS $350+. DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THE LABOR WAS $150+ WHETHER THEY DEACTIVATED THE FAULTY UNIT OR WHETHER THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW UNIT. I OPTED FOR THE NEW UNIT. TOTAL BILL WAS ~$800 WHICH INCLUDED LUDICROUS "DEALER-COMPLIANT" TOWING COMPANY. DEALER ALSO REPLACED BATTERY AT THIS TIME (UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I'D HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM 4 MONTHS EARLIER - HOWEVER IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AT THAT TIME AS HFL UNIT). CAR SAT AGAIN FOR 1 WEEK. BRAND NEW BATTERY IS NOW COMPLETELY DEAD AGAIN. *TR
