NHTSA Complaint #10524877 — 2004 ACURA TL

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH MY ACURA IS THE BATTERY. I HAVE REPLACED AT LEAST 4 BATTERIES SINCE ABOUT 39,000 MILES. I NEVER KNEW WHY MY BATTERY WAS DYING UNTIL ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, AN EMPLOYEE AT ACURA TOLD ME THAT THE HANDS FREE LINK IS DRAINING TOO MUCH OF THE BATTERY BECAUSE OF SOME FAULTY EQUIPMENT. I ASKED FOR THEM TO COVER IT FOR FREE AND WAS DENIED BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL WITH THAT EQUIPMENT YET. THEY ARE AWARE THAT OTHER ACURAS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET THEY STILL WON'T COVER MY COST FOR NEW EQUIPMENT OR AT LEAST COVER COST TO GET THE HANDS FREE DISCONNECTED. THIS DEVICE IS STILL DRAINING MY BATTERY. THE OTHER PROBLEM WITH CAR IS THAT THE BRAKES IN FRONT WERE STICKING SO BAD I HAD TO GE THE ROADERS GRINDED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. NOW THE BACK BRAKES ARE STICKING TOO. PLEASE CALL WHEN YOU REACH A DECISION. *TR
