| 2005 | STRUCTURE:BODY | MY 2005 ACURA RL HAS CHROME TRIM THAT IS APPARENTLY A THIN SHEET OF METAL THAT HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER SOME TIME, IT HAS DEGRADED, AND IS PEELING FROM ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. THIS HAS EXPOSED VERY SHARP EDGES. ONE OF THE DELAMINATED TRIM PIECES IS UNDER THE HOOD RELEASE, AND WHILE INSERTING MY FINGERS TO OPEN THE HOOD I RECEIVED A CUT ON MY HAND. *JS |
| 1998 | SEAT BELTS:REAR | APPROXIMATELY 60 DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO REAR SEAT BELTS. *NM THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE ENGINE STARTED ON ITS OWN WITH NO KEY OR PERSON REQUIRED. WHEN IT RAINED, WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE. SENSORS, WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD AND WIPERS HAVE NOT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE THEY WORK RANDOMLY OR NOT AT ALL. *TC *JB |
