FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY WIFE DRIVES A 2008 ACURA RL. WE LIVE IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. MY WIFE NOTICED GAS FUMES INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN LAST SUMMER (2009) AND AGAIN THIS SUMMER (2010) ON HOT DAYS TO THE POINT SHE WOULD BECOME ILL. I COULD SMELL STRONG GAS FUMES AFTER SHE PARK THE RL IN THE GARAGE LAST SUMMER (2009) AND THIS SUMMER (2010) ON HOT DAYS. NOTHING WAS DONE LAST YEAR (2009) BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NO REPAIR TO THE PROBLEM. THIS SUMMER (2010) SHE DROVE THE RL TO OUR LOCAL ACURA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE STAFF AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS FUMES INSIDE THE CAR. AFTER THE INSPECTION WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL DUE TO OUR SUMMER HEAT HERE IN LAS VEGAS. THE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 107 DEGREES. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT HE COULD FIX THE PROBLEM WITH HIS OWN TYPE OF REPAIR, HE SAID THAT WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL REPAIR FROM ACURA. THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS FUMES INSIDE THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE LOCAL SERVICE MANAGERS REPAIR BUT ON HOT DAYS WE STILL SMELL STRONG GAS FUMES IN OUR GARAGE. WE WERE TOLD VERBALLY FROM ACURA TO PARK THE RL OUTSIDE AND NOT IN THE GARAGE ON HOT DAYS IF WE SMELL GAS FUMES COMING FROM THE RL. I ASKED ACURA TO PUT THAT IN WRITING IF THAT WAS ACURA?S POSITION, ACURA REFUSED TO PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING REGARDING GAS FUMES AND OUR ACURA RL. *TR

TIRES
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 ACURA RL. THE VEHICLE HAS MICHELIN RADIAL X TIRES. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A DEEP POTHOLE AND THE TIRE PRESSURE ICON ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A DEALER AND THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT A TIRE WAS MISSING. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE WHY THE TIRE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE, BUT STATED THAT THE TIRE'S DISTANCE FROM THE GROUND PLAYED A ROLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,600. UPDATED 04/25/08 *BF
