Consumer Description

THE BATTERY ON THIS CAR DRAINS DUE TO A FACTORY FAULTY HFL UNIT. THIS CAUSES EVEN A NEW BATTERY TO BE DRAINED AND THEN LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASION. WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS THE BATTERY. ACURA REPLACED THE BATTERY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD RATHER THAN FIXING THE REAL PROBLEM. NOW THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BUT WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS.
