Consumer Description
MY 2008 ACURA TL'S COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS WERE FOUND TO BE CRACKED. HOWEVER, WHAT MAKES ME REPORT THIS TO THE NHTSA IS THE FACT THAT ACURA'S 2004-2008 TL COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS CONSISTENTLY CRACK, POSING A DANGER TO THE CAR'S OCCUPANTS, AND ANY SURROUNDING CARS. THE CRACKED COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS POSE A DANGER BECAUSE IT BECOMES POSSIBLE FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARM TO COME LOOSE, CAUSING THE COLLAPSE OF THE RESPECTED WHEEL, POSING A THREAT TO TRAFFIC. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, A 2004-2006 ACURA TL'S WHEEL COLLAPSED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED STREET, AND THANKFULLY OTHER CARS WERE ABLE TO AVOID THE TL, HOWEVER, A BIGGER ISSUE COULD ARISE IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY, OR IF A DRIVER COULDN'T AVOID THE TL. NHTSA, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. IT'S A PRICEY FIX AT DEALERS, AND ACURA SHOULD TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION.
