(i have documented work orders) biggest problem was the faulty transmission i had previously heard from other acura owners and through a newspaper article. i was hoping and praying that i would not become a statistic. this is an uncomfortable feeling when you've paid $33,000+ for a new luxury vehicle and i feared for my safety since reading about the article. on 11/23/02, i would find out that i had become another statistic, thankfully i was driving at a reasonable speed and no one was behind me as the vehicle suddenly stopped. this is a serious and dangerous problem that needs to be address by acura. i am amazed that no one has been seriously injured. sadly, it will become a matter of time before that will happen. it is downright wrong for an automaker to knowingly know of a problem and not fix it. they are not protecting their customers and the occupants of said customers. i urged you to contact acura and implement a mandatory recall of this transmission problem. i feel that i have been ripped off and thankfully, not injured. what are my rights? dt.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):19UUA568X2A.

Acura Tl 2002 Suspension Front Control Arm Lower Ball JointAcura Tl 2002 Suspension Front Control Arm Lower Ball Joint Review #10223282 ACURA TL 2002 car safety problem was reported on Nov 19, 2007.ACURA TL 2002, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT . on november 19, 2007 there was a sudden, complete, and catastrophic failure of the front right lower ball joint on my 2002 acura. the failure occurred while the car was moving at five to ten miles per hour on a side street in south bend, indiana. when the failure occurred the car came to a sudden stop as a result of the lower ball joint digging into the pavement and the right front steering tire turned sideways. if the failure would have occurred at normal highway speeds or on the interstate, the result would have been the sudden and total loss of control of the car, resulting in death, or serious injury. acura's response was to ignore the complaint. the acura web site noted that there were recalls for similar problems in 1996, 1997 and 1998, and that the defective ball joints were replaced under those recalls. i immediately notified acura by fax the morning of november 20th and by a follow up letter of january 23, 2008. the only response that i received was a telephone message the afternoon of november 20th from a customer service representative and a later phone call basically disclaiming any responsibility for the problem or resulting damages. i have copies of the repair invoice totaling $1,912.52. all of the repairs were necessitated by the failure. the left steering knuckle was replaced as well because it was a sealed unit, and the mechanic could not inspect it and could not assure me that the car would not suffer the same catastrophic failure. i provided acura with photographs taken by my sons camera phone immediately after the failure and before the car was towed which show the damage, which i could email to you. i retained the failed parts at my home. the failure that occurred at less than 105,000 miles with no warning from a manufacturing or design defect. acura refused to look inspect my vehicle or the parts or to take any action in response to my complaints. because no one was injured or killed this time, it wasn't important to acura. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 104000 miles.

Acura Tl 2002 TiresAcura Tl 2002 Tires Review #10380832 ACURA TL 2002 car safety problem was reported on Feb 03, 2011.ACURA TL 2002, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with TIRES . i had 4 bridgestone potenza re960as pole position size 215/50r17 tires installed in may of 2008 on my 2002 acura tl type s vehicle. two separate defects. 1. i was forced to replace one tire in january of 2010. i replaced the defective tire under road hazard insurance due to a defect in the sidewall. 2. on february 3, 2011 i had a catastrophic tire failure on interstate 64 in st. louis. the tire didn't just blow out, it had full tread separation. the highway was clear of all snow and slush in the location where the failure occurred. my estimated speed was 50 mph at the time of the failure. the outside temperature was 9 degrees above zero. i was not in a turn, and did not hit any road hazards. the tires on my vehicle were inflated properly. the shop reported that the other tires had very even tire wear, suggesting that the wheels were aligned properly, the suspension was operating properly, and the tires were inflated properly. the resulting damage to my vehicle was severe damage to the left rear alloy wheel, the defective tire, and the need for a wheel alignment due to the car riding on the alloy wheel. i contacted bridgestone, and was given the runaround. the bottom line is that bridgestone did not want to help me in any way. the bridgestone lawyer told me on february 4, 2011, that they had already looked at the tire. i contacted the shop, and bridgestone did not look at the tire. i informed the lawyer that they could find the rest of my tire on top of a snow bank on i-64 between kingshighway and grand avenue. the tread was intact, and in one piece. she did not seem interested in seeing the tread, suggesting that bridgestone is not responsible enough to investigate problems on their own, and need a government watch dog to force them to look into defects. the blowout that i experienced would have likely caused an accident if it had happened on a front wheel. please investigate these tires asap, as this is a very dangerous situation. *tr.Mileage was 122000 miles.

Acura Tl 2002 Power Train Review #10639974 ACURA TL 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 01, 2014.ACURA TL 2002, manufactured by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) had a problem with POWER TRAIN . my 2002 acura tl with automatic transmission which has only 59,851 miles on it. i bought it from the original owner 6 years ago, and since then i have only driven about 11,000 miles. the well-known 2002 tl automatic transmission design flaw is now causing big sudden jerks and the car shooting forward, thus creating a huge safety issue to me and the generic public. initially a rep at acura client relations (1-800-382-2238 option 4) told me to take the car to an authorized acura dealer for diagnosis. i had the car towed to kearny mesa acura, paid $130 for a written diagnosis, and faxed it to acura client relations. the rep said as the car had only 59,851 miles on it, he would take my case to his management. but my request for help from acura was later denied, citing their extended 109,000 miles and 7 year 9 month warranty had expired. i wonder why acura cannot man up and take responsibilities for their faulty automatic transmission on 2002 tl models. how can acura use an arbitrarily-set warranty expiration date to ignore the huge safety problems on their cars? .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):19UUA566X2A.

Acura Tl 2002 Power TrainAcura Tl 2002 Power Train Review #10653591 ACURA TL 2002 car safety problem was reported on Oct 25, 2014.ACURA TL 2002, manufactured by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i bought this vehicle used in september and it started having shifting problems shortly afterward. i then discovered there was a recall (04v-176) on the transmission. the recall states in part that "the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating. if discoloration exists, the transmission will be replaced." the dealer called and told me they had completed the recall work, but recommended that we replace the solenoids to fix the hard shifting. my wife picked up the car when the work was complete and it ran reasonably well for about a week. on the date noted above, my daughter drove it home from work and it would not shift out of 3rd gear. note, it is a 5 speed automatic transmission. she told me she was scared to drive it because of the way it was acting. i drove it for a short distance the next day and verified her complaint. i am upset because i feel like acura let us take an unsafe car out of their maintenance department without letting us know there was a problem. i called the dealer back and told them about the problem and asked if they had done the gear inspection and what it had shown. the dealer would not confirm that the inspection had been completed and would not provide the results of the inspection. he just stated that "the technician knew what to do for this recall." i then called in a complaint to acura. they listened, gave me a case no. and told me that someone would call me back within 48 hours. when i hadn't heard from them for a week, i called and they told me the case worker was at lunch, but would call me as soon as she got back. i waited all afternoon, but no one called. now, i feel i have no alternative, but to file this complaint as acura has been totally unresponsive. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 162400 miles.
