Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Sunroof glass shattered while driving down the road. There were no cars in front of me and I was only going 25 MPH as I had just begun to accelerate. This could not have been a rock but a defect in the car. If the visor wasn't closed glass could have fell into the car and possibly cut someone. Acura needs to address this as this is not an object hitting the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #10810816, filed 2015-12, 1,450 miles

“I've purchased a 2015 Acura TLX approximately 1 week ago and the chrome outline on the air vents has an extreme glare when looking at the side mirrors. On dec 5th 2014, I notified the service technician but he said that's the first he's heard of it and dismissed the complaint as faulty. This appears to be a design flaw and safety concern and needs to be remedied as the mirror should be showing me what is outside the car, not what is inside the car.”

NHTSA complaint #10662904, filed 2014-12, 500 miles

“I just turned on to the highway, and there was not a car around me. I started to accelerate and then there was a huge sound, almost like a gun shot. I immediately pulled over and noticed that my sunroof was complete shattered with a gaping hole in the middle of it. I was completely dumbfounded because I wasn't underneath a bridge or anything other than the clear blue sky. There were no cars around me to say an object hit it either. Just completely shattered for no reason. The best part is that Acura refuses to replace the sunroof when this is clearly a manufacturer default. …”

“While driving at highway speed, the sunroof exploded upward sending glass into the roadway. With no other vehicles around would lead to a defect in the safety glass. …”

NHTSA complaint #10949770, filed 2017-02, 11,000 miles

“The contact owns a 2015 Acura TLX. While driving at various speeds, the chrome finish on the air vent on the front driver and passenger sides produced a glare on the side mirrors. The glare impacted the contact's ability to see out of the side mirrors. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 125.”
