Consumer Description

THIS IS RELATED TO COMPLAINT #11143782. TWO MONTHS AFTER MY GAS TANK WAS REPLACED DUE TO A FAULTY CONNECTION BETWEEN IT AND THE FILLER PIPE, THE BOLTS HOLDING THE REAR PROPELLOR SHAFT CAME LOOSE AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET, MAKING THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. AT THAT TIME, MY CAR HAD 3761 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAD TO BE FLATBED TOWED TO THE ACURA DEALER, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE BOLTS HAD "BACKED OUT AND THE SHAFT WAS RUBBING ON SAFETY HOLDERS." THE BOLTS WERE REPLACED WITH OEZM BOLTS WITH LOC-TITE.
