NHTSA Complaint #10559769 — 2006 ACURA TL

OUR HANDS FREE LINK UNIT THAT PAIRS WITH YOUR CELL PHONE BECAME DEFECTIVE OVER A YEAR AGO. IT HEATS UP AT NIGHT ALL BY ITSELF AND GETS VERY HOT MAKING ME LEERY ABOUT IT CAUSING A FIRE. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR AND BEING UNABLE TO USE THE HANDS FREE TO SPEAK ON THE PHONE IS VERY DANGEROUS. ADDITIONALLY, IT HAS RUINED TWO BATTERIES BEFORE WE COULD IDENTIFY WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE DASH BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BADLY CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG. WE ARE VERY AFRAID THAT THIS WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS DEPLOYMENT WHEN NEEDED OR EVEN AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT WHEN NOT NEEDED. NEITHER OF THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE HAPPENING ON ANY CAR MUCH LESS A SEMI-LUXURY CAR SUCH AS ACURA. *TR
