Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING FOR TWO YEARS THAT MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND MY CAR HAS HESITATED LONG ENOUGH THAT I'VE ALMOST GOT SLAMMED IN THE BACK BY ANOTHER CAR. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO STALL. I WILL PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND FINALLY THE CAR STARTS MOVING AGAIN. BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO ACURA AND SINCE THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE HESITATION, THEY DECIDED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ANOTHER ISSUE I'VE HAD IS WITH MY BRAKES. AT 13,000 MILES BOTH OF MY FRONT BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN TO THE METAL. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, IT WAS NOTED THAT BOTH CALIPERS SEIZED. THE BRAKES AND CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. ABOUT 14,000 MILES LATER, MY RIGHT FRONT BRAKE WAS DOWN TO THE METAL. MY LEFT FRONT BRAKE WAS FINE. AFTER KEEPING MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND CONSULTING WITH THE ENGINEERS IN CALIFORNIA, ACURA DECIDED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT IT WAS MY DRIVING. I ASKED HOW I ONLY PUT THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ON AND NOT THE LEFT. THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER. BUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH BRAKES AGAIN.
