STRUCTURE
JUST NOTICED CRACKS IN DASHBOARD OF 2005 ACURA TL. I FIGURED MAYBE IT WAS FROM THE HEAT, WITH LIVING IN FLORIDA. WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANY OTHERS HAD COMPLAINTS. NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS FROM 2004-2005 ACURA TL OWNERS COMPLAINING OF CRACKS IN THE SAME EXACT AREA AS MINE. THERE IS ONE RIGHT ABOVE THE AIR BAG, WHICH I BELIEVE COULD LEAD TO A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG. THE OTHER STARTS FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE AT THE DASH AND IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE DRIVER DASH AREA AND AROUND THAT CONSOLE. I CALLED ACURA AND THEY MADE A NOTE, BUT JUST TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE PRODUCT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 ACURA TL. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER BELIEVED SHE PURCHASED ONE OF THE FEW ACURA'S THAT HAD A DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL AND/OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT WENT UNDETECTED WHEN REPLACING THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE DURING THE RECALL IN 2004. SHE BELIEVED THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND IN HER CASE; THE DISCOLORATION OF THE LINE BECAUSE OF OVERHEATING HAD NOT OCCURRED OR WENT UN-NOTICED. SUBSEQUENTLY, ONLY THE LINE WAS REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FURTHER INSPECTED. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WOULD SEEM THAT FLUSHING AND CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WOULD ACT ONLY AS A TEMPORARY FIX OR BAND AID TO THE PROBLEM AND SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE SAME PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR. THE CONSUMER BROUGHT HER VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE, THE D5 LIGHT WAS FLASHING , THE TCS LIGHTS WERE ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. ALSO, SHE EXPERIENCED HARD SHIFTS, AFTER FIRST GEAR, USUALLY FIRST TO SECOND, AND THEN ONE LAST SHIFT INTO THIRD, UPON TAKE OFF FROM A STOP, AND WHILE INCREASING SPEED ON AN INCLINE OF A FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP.
