“I purchased a new 2012 Acura TL on 2/8/12. Each day I drive 35 miles to and from work on interstate 75 with a posted speed of 70 MPH. Within a few days I noticed that when the car reached 70 MPH a persistent high frequency vibration came up through the driver's side floor and in particular through the accelerator pedal. By the time I reached work or home my entire right foot and calf was numb and buzzing. It felt as though I had 'fallen asleep and caused the nerves to be temporarily non-functional. …”
NHTSA complaint #10459240, filed 2012-05, 1,000 miles“I bought my TL in oct of 2011. About a month later I noticed a chip in the lower rear door frame which I applied some touch up paint to. Well the chips keep showing up in the same area of the lower rear door frame. I have about 8 on the passenger side and six on the driver side. The dealership believes that the front tires are throwing rocks and hitting in this part of the car. The rear quarter panels need to be repainted now to fix the chips. The dealership wants to install mud flaps (flares) on the tires and a paint film to the door edge. This is going to have to come out of my pocket. …”
NHTSA complaint #10500526, filed 2013-02, 500 miles“Purchased car on 01/21/2013. Was back at dealer on 01/26/2012 due to a weird vibration at high speeds (50-80 MPH).
