| 2000 | TIRES | BOUGHT FOUR NEW UNIROYAL TIGER PAW TIRES FROM BJ'S ON NOVEMBER 1, 2010. TIRE SIZE WAS 205 60 116 FOR A 2000 ACURA TL. ON WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 2011, I WAS TRAVELING ON I-40 WEST AND HAD A TIRE BLOW-OUT. IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND LEAVE MY CAR OVERNIGHT. ON THURSDAY, FEB. 24, 2011, AFTER HAVING SOMEONE REPLACE THE FLAT TIRE WITH THE SPARE TIRE, I DROVE TO BJ'S IN MOORESVILLE, NC AND LEFT THE CAR TO GET THE TIRE FIXED. *TR |
| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | MY 2002 ACURA TLS WAS RECALLED BY HONDA NA FOR POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I RESPONDED TO THE RECALL & TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER. AFTER DOING THE WORK REQUIRED BY HONDA NA, I DROVE THE CAR HOME. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. HONDA NA REFUSES TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED 2 (TWO) TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS CAR BECAUSE OF FAILURE AT MY EXPENSE. IN MY OPINION, THEY NEED TO HONOR THE RECALL NOTICE & REPLACE THIS TRANSMISSION. CURRENTLY, THE CAR IS SETTING IN THE GARAGE UNABLE TO DRIVE. I WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE RECALL NOTICE. THE TRANSMISSION WORKED FINE UNTIL THE REQUIRED RECALL WORK WAS DONE. *NM |
