Consumer Description
SIMILAR TO OTHER REPORTS. FIRST, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS UP A HILL OUT OF MY HOUSE, I STARTED TO HEAR A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION ON A REGULAR BASIS. I WAS TOLD BAD TIRES, I TOOK IT TO GET ALIGNED. I CHANGED TIRES AND HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. STILL HAD THE SOUND. I DONT HEAR IT AS MUCH, BUT DO STILL GET IT FROM TIME TO TIME. MOST RECENTLY, ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES I WOULD FEEL LIKE MY CAR WOULD ACCELERATE AND SLIDE IN THE BACK END AND QUICKLY CORRECT ITSELF. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS ON A METAL GRATE AND SLIPPED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT CORRECTS ITSELF. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM AT A SLOW SPEED AND MAKING A TURN AND ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENS BOTH WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR A LEFT TURN. ITS QUICK AND VERY STARTLING. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH PAWS. LESS THAN 50K. LOOKS LIKE OTHER DRIVERS ARE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE..BOTH WITH NOISE AND THE SLIPPING. ACURA HAS PLACED SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE ACTUATORS REGARDING THE NOISE BUT NOTHING REGARDING THE ISSUE WITH THE PAWS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP, BUT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE, THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE AND FIX.
