Example complaints

Steering: “Took the car for a test drive before I purchased it, no leaks and everything worked fine. The next morning I noticed a wet spot under the car, took it to the nearest shop and found out the power steering rack was leaking.”

NHTSA complaint #11298222, filed 2020-01, 110,000 miles

Electrical system: “Immobilizer green key light will not go off. I have been troubleshooting and found corrosion in the PCM/ECM control unit that is under the center counsel. Salt-water soaked the carpeting and that corroded the frame of the unit and got inside and onto the circuit board. I checked for a recall and there is one for this model and year. It asked for the VIN # and it came back telling me it was included in the recall. My question is why other VIN# is covered for this problem but mine is not. Corrosion is corrosion and the cause is a saltwater soaked carpeting next to the drivers gas pedal. …”

NHTSA complaint #11378100, filed 2020-12, 125,874 miles

Brakes: “Traveling approximately 15 MPH in stop-and-go traffic on the freeway in los angeles. Weather conditions were dry. No issue regarding visibility. Front vehicle stopped. Applied brakes to stop, but antilock braking system activated causing the vehicle's brakes to grind and vehicle to glide, rather than abruptly stop, resulting in a rear-end collision. Airbags did not activate. Extensive damage sustained to the front end of the Acura, specifically the grill and headlights causing side-bar damage (estimate indicates $5,000+ damage). …”

NHTSA complaint #10597752, filed 2014-06, 103,598 miles

Engine cooling: “The contact owns a 2007 Acura TSX. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the ECU, and determined that corrosion had caused the component to fail. The vehicle was repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V093000 (Engine and Engine Cooling, Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included. …”
