2004 Acura TL Electrical system Problems

“My 2004 Acura TL is my first car owned. When I put the car in drive I can only accelerate to 20-30mph on the highway. Because, the car would not accelerate on a straight way or up hills. This is a dangerous manufacture malfunction with Acura transmissions for the consumers financially and physcially. I would appreciate a recall being done on my 2004 Acura TL because I love this car and would love to keep it.

“About 18 months ago the headlights on my 2004 TL began flickering on and off while I was driving.

The problem with the headlamps stopped after a few months, but then other lights began going out (interior center console where the AC and radio are, and the interior console to the left of the steering wheel, and the interior door console) and flickering (exterior side panel lights when I alarm or dis-alarm the car). …”

“Driving along and power goes out. As if pops out of gear. But do not hear a popping into and out of gear. Then all the sudden pops back into gear. This is dangerous. High speed and then power goes out.”
