Example complaints

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

“In september 2009 I purchased my 2005 Acura TSX from paul burns auto group who had received the car via davis Acura. I brought it home I noticed the car was pink, especially faded paint on the hood, trunk and top of the car. After a day or two of driving I noticed a noise and had trouble steering. I took it to my mechanic and he told me there was a severe leak in power steering fluid coming from the rack. I battled with the dealer and was able to replace the rack for the half the cost it would have. The car's warranty expired in april 2009 only six months after I bought it. …”

NHTSA complaint #10340947, filed 2010-07

“The rear bumper was discolored and the Acura dealership, sterling mccall Acura, advised me that it was my imagination. Later when the bumper pealed off and some of the original paint was showing through they had no choice but to fix the car. The claim at 4k miles there was a little fender bender, but I'm doubtful that is the truth. The rear doors don't close right and squeak as if its had a rear end collision. I complained to the bbb, Acura client services (no help) and sterling mccall themselves. They simply slapped on more paint and now its pealing again!”
