2002 Acura TL Tires Problems

“While driving under icy road conditions the front passenger tire blew out. The consumer replaced the tire and 5 months later the replacement tire blewout. On the first incident, consumer noticed a bubble on the right rear tire sidewall. On the second incident, a bubble was also seen but this time it was located on the right front tire sidewall. On both incidents, both tires were replaced.”

“Tires- michelin pilot hx mxm4 215/50 17. Had 2 tires that had to be replaced in the last 1000 miles because of sidewall bubbles. Told that it was caused by potholes and was not covered by warranity. I do not feel that I ran over any major potholes, and I feel small road cracks etc should not cause this.”

“My trans. Was replaced in 2003 because of a shifting problem. My car was still under warranty, however, I was told that I would have to pay for the repair. I paid for the repair and in 2006 I had the same problem. I was told that it was a recall, but when I informed mcgrath Acura that I should be reimbursed, it was denied. I also complained of a clicking noise in the radio that was never looked in to when I took my car in for trans., apparently this is a common defect where the pins within the 6cd changer go bad, but I have yet to see a recall. …”

“One of the tires has a sidewall bubble. I looked around on the internet and this seems to be a common problem with kumho tires. I went to the dealer we purchased the tires from and they said that I was the 4th person there that day with kuhmo tires that had sidewall bubbles. Also, the tires are wearing out much faster then they should be. Luckily I check our family tires once a month. If someone does not check them these sidewall bubbles could lead to a blowout and serious accidents. I believe there should be an investigation and recall of these kuhmo ecsta asx tires.”
