SEATS
SERIOUS VIBRATION IN 2004 ACURA TL. VIBRATION IN THE STEERING, SEATS AND FLOOR PAN. REPLACED AND REBALANCED THE TIRES THREE TIMES. *BF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES BETWEEN THE 52 AND 58 MPH REGARDLESS OF GEAR SELECTION. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VIBRATION IS SO ANNOYING THAT HE AVOIDS THAT PARTICULAR SPEED RANGE. MICHELIN XGT Z4'S WERE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE VIBRATION CONTINUES. THE CONSUMER REQUESTS INFORMATION ON WHAT TO DO BEFORE INITIATING THE LEMON LAW PROCESS. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL MOST LIKELY CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR OF VARIOUS SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND TIRES. *TC

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OUR 2008 ACURA TL AND ALMOST EVERY ACURA TL I SEE HAS A PROBLEM OR IS DEVELOPING A PROBLEM WITH THE SEALS OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH HID HEADLIGHTS. THE PROBLEM STARTS WITH A SMALL DISCOLORATION OR FOG ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT LENS COVER, AND EXPANDS WITH TIME. THE DISCOLORATION OR FOG LESSENS THE INTENSITY OF THE HEADLIGHTS, CUTTING BACK ON VISIBILITY AND ILLUMINATION. THE DEALER SAID THE FOG IN THE HEADLIGHT PROBLEM IS LOCAL TO ARIZONA ONLY. REALLY? I WOULD LIKE NTSB OR RESPONSIBLE AGENCY TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND IF A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. AS I MENTIONED, I SEE THIS PROBLEM ON MOST ACURA TLS THAT I SEE ON THE STREET. *TR
