Consumer Description

CAR HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. FOR THE LAST MONTH, THERE HAS BEEN 3 TIMES THAT THE CAR WILL NOT START. FIRST TIME IT WAS JUMPED OFF AND DRIVEN INTO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP..."WIRE TO BATTERY LOOSE". SECOND TIME THE DEALERSHIP SENT A TECHNICIAN OUT AND THE REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE. THIRD TIME CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIPS AS IT COULD NOT TO BE STARTED AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS AND RETUNED IT TO ME WITH THE EXPLANATION "COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR". CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CAR IS DRIVEN 5-6 DAYS A WEEK, NO ACCESSORIES LEFT ON. NOW I AM SCARED IT WILL QUIT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND I WILL LOSE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING.
