ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HEADLIGHT FLICKER ON / OFF. SOMETIME COMPLETELY SHUTOFF, BUT WILL TURN BACK ON AFTER TURN OFF AND ON THE HEADLIGHT. THIS ISSUE IS REPEATABLE FOR OVER A FEW WEEKS. *TR
2005
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2005 ACURA RL HAS DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS. FOR NO REASON UNDERSTOOD THE HEADLIGHTS BEGIN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF THEN EVENTUALLY GO TOTALLY BLACK WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE NOW. MY CAR ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM TO WORK IS TO TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH ALL THE WAY IN THE OFF POSITION AND THEN BACK TO THE ON POSITION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS AND HAVE HEARD OF OTHER 05-06 ACURA RL OWNERS GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS WITH ALL 2005-2006 ACURA RL'S. ACURA DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECTIVE LIGHTS SYSTEM WITH THE 05-06 RL. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THEM TO OFFER A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE'S LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
