| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | 2003 ACURA 3.2CL TYPE S - 75,000 MILES - MANUAL TRANSMISSION (MT) IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO SECOND AND REVERSE GEARS. ALSO NOTICED THAT AFTER HOLDING THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, SITTING IN TRAFFIC, ETC., THE PRESSURE CHANGES WHILE LETTING THE PEDAL OUT AND DOESN'T ENGAGE/CATCH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT. MUST PUSH PEDAL DOWN AGAIN AND TRY TO SHIFT AGAIN. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES THIS HAPPENED, I SHIFTED FROM FIRST INTO SECOND GEAR AND THE GEAR GRINDED AND CAR JERKED. THE PEDAL PRESSURE ALMOST FEEL LIKE A BRAKE PEDAL DOES WHEN COMPRESSED AND THERE IS AIR IN THE LINE. AT OTHER TIMES, IT FEELS LIKE I'M PUSHING IN MY 1978 Z-28 MANUAL CLUTCH PEDAL....HEAVY! SERVICE DEPT IS EXCELLENT AT DEALER LOCATION. COMPLAINT BEING FILED TO ENSURE THAT A PROBLEM IS NOTED WITH THE MT IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES; WHICH COULD LEAD TO A RECALL. *NM |
| 2001 | VISIBILITY | 2001 ACURA CL TYPE-S REAR VIEW MIRROR (SELF DIMMING) IS LEAKING A BLACK TAR TYPE SUBSTANCE THAT IS EATING THROUGH THE CENTER CONSOLE OF THE CAR. THERE IS A GREY TYPE OF FILM IN THE MIRROR AND OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR APPEAR DOUBLED. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE THE MANUFACTURER, MAGNA DONNELLY AND WEBSITES INDICATING THE FLUID IS TOXIC AND CAN LEAD TO HEALTH ISSUES. I THINK THAT ACURA SHOULD SUBMIT A RECALL AND MAGNA DONNELLY SHOULD PAY FOR REPLACEMENT MIRRORS. *TR |
