| 2008 | STRUCTURE | AS A PASSENGER, I OFTEN FIND THE BIG HEAVY DOOR WILL NOT STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION WHILE I AM TRYING TO EXIT FROM THE CAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL "LOCKING" POSITIONS, BUT NONE OF THEM HOLD FIRMLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF THE CAR IS ON EVEN A SLIGHT INCLINE. I FIND MYSELF KICKING THE DOOR OUT OF THE WAY SO I CAN SAFELY EXIT. THE CAR IS LEASED, AND I WOULD CONSIDER NOT BUYING IT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. NO CRASH, NO INJURY, NO DAMAGE TO OUR CAR OR OTHER CARS. THIS IS AN ANNOYING DESIGN FLAW. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE WE GOT THE CAR. *TR |
| 2013 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | THE FLY BY WIRE THROTTLE SYSTEM IS INCONSISTENT IN APPLICATION. SOMETIMES IN TRAFFIC WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE, INSTEAD OF LIGHTER APPLICATION OF THE THROTTLE, THE CAR WAITS SEVERAL HEARTBEATS BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS. THEN CATCHES UP TO THE PEDAL POSITION , WHICH IF YOU'VE TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD AND NOTHING HAPPENED AND YOU'VE KEEP PUSHING THE PEDAL NOW YOU'RE INSTANTLY AT HALF THROTTLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ACURA SAYS THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR WAS DESIGNED AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY'LL DO ABOUT IT. *JB |
