| 2005 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | 2005 ACURA RL LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TOTALLY FAILED, UNEXPECTEDLY, AND THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT SIDE LOW BEAM, SOMETIMES I DIDN'T KNOW IT UNTIL TOLD AND NOW IT HAPPENS TO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME WHILE IDLING IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME BOTH HAD CUT OUT ON HER EARLIER THIS MONTH, BUT I COULD NOT VERIFY UNTIL TODAY. TURNING THE SWITCH OFF / ON WILL BRING THE LIGHTS BACK ON, BUT THEN AGAIN FOR HOW LONG IS QUESTIONABLE. DEALERS DENY IT EXIST OR CAN'T VERIFY, BUT A QUICK WEB SEARCH HAS NOW VALIDATED MY PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR A VERY LONG TIME WITH THIS CAR. THIS IS MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN I THOUGHT, CLEARLY A PROBLEM YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF. *KB |
| 2003 | AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW | SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR GOES ON AND STAYS ON INTERMITTENTLY. HAPPENS ALMOST ALWAYS. REPORTED TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BELIEVE SIDE AIR BAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL WHEN LIGHT IS ON. STARTED AFTER DEALER SERVICING ABOUT SEPT., 2003 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. *TR |
