2006 Acura TL Electrical system Problems

“The bluetooth audio unit on my 2006 Acura TL has short circuited and is draining my battery causing the ignition system issues when starting the car in the morning. The short circuit had occurred due to the audio unit being placed above the rearview mirror console, this location is exposed to sunlight which in turn causes the components to heat up and damage the audio unit.”

“I was driving home from work on a very busy street, driving about 55 miles an hour. It was dark and raining and my car completely shut down! No headlights, no dashboard lights and nothing was running...it completely shut off no hazard lights either! Luckily I was able to pull off to the side. I pulled my key out of the ignition, then put it back in and nothing happened. I repeated putting my key in the ignition and it started back up. I was able to drive the car home. …”

“My 2006 Acura TL hands free link stopped working. I tried to reboot the system but the screen never changed from the rebooting message. A few days later the battery died. I had the battery replaced and had to enter new codes in the radio and navigation systems. Now the navigation and radio do not communicate so there is no voice for the navigation, the clock will not reset and the bluetooth still doesn't work. On top of that, my transmission blew and so did the power steering pump. …”

“My car battery kept dying every 3 months, I even got a new battery and my car was still dying. I was stranded at the bank in a parking lot, my driveway, and at work. After it died again and wouldn't start with a new battery I called the dealership. They stated it is my blue tooth, which hadn't been working, that is draining my battery and they have seen it in my model and year. I had to pay $100 to have it disconnected and they want to charge me $400 to have it replaced. I replaced it and now they wont reimburse me. …”

“I replaced the car battery and within 4 days of being parked it was dead. The blue tooth hands free module continually tries to boot up even when the car is turned off and will leave you stranded if you park the car for a few days even with a brand new battery. I called the customer care line and they said they stopped making the part so the car must be parked with a trickle charger on it. There are only 64000 miles on the vehicle. The company should at the very least have somewhere the part can be repaired at. They just said they were only required to make parts available for 10 years.”
