What 2001 Acura Integra owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Discount tires provided me tires with a 195/50-15 size, when my vehicle calls for a 195/55-15 size. I had been driving it and my tires kept deflating. I finally went someone else to get them replaced and I was told that the tires given to me did not meet manufactures specifications. If this okay for a company to provide the wrong size tires? Are there any rules against this?
I had a computer problem in my car (acura integra 2001) and I went to the acura of avon dealership to have it looked at. They told me that the computer needed to be replaced and the idling valve. I had the work done. Then, I had several additional problems that started occurring with the car, including a failed transmission. The car only has 49, 515 miles on it. For all of these problems to be occurring with a car that is only 4 1/2 years old, in excellent condition, and such low mileage, is quite shocking.

I was driving home from the store and the car just stop running. Had it towed to arlington acura in palatine. 1275 e dundee rd. , palatine, il. (847) 991 9000 because the car was still under warranty until may 31, 2005. They have had it all now they tell me they will not cover it. I don't understand why they said something broke in the engine that's why it stopped running. I think they should fix it but they keep saying they will not. Why do they put a warranty on a car if they are not going to stand behind it. I need you help to get it fixed. Thank you. *ph *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768325
As I made a left turn the steering wheel locked; I had to make a sudden stop, after which I could control the steering again - I had drifted into the leftmost lane @ that point in a matter of milliseconds. Acura say there's nothing wrong with the car although they admit that this should never happen under any circumstances.
