NHTSA Complaint #10734385 — 2006 ACURA TL

THE HANDS FREE LINK SYSTEM IN THE 2004-2008 ACURA TL IS CREATING A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY RESULTING IN COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF THE AUTOMOBILE. THE INCIDENCE OF FAILURE IS MOST COMMON IMMEDIATELY AFTER PERIODS OF AT LEAST 10 HOURS OF NON-USE OR SHORTLY AFTER STARTING. AS A RESULT FROM THIS ISSUE I EXPERIENCE THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FOR THE PAST YEAR, FROM GOING THREW MULTIPLE BATTERIES AND BEING IN THE UNSAFE SITUATION OF MY ACURA TL LOSING ITS POWER IN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED EXTENSIVELY ON MULTIPLE ACURA OWNER'S WEBSITES/BLOGS AND HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. GIVEN THE POSSIBILITY FOR IN-USE ELECTRICAL FAILURE, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE A RE-CALL IS REALLY ISSUED?
