Hands free link module has failed. It now causes battery drain, causing the battery to fail after 1 week of not driving. Now on my 3rd battery in two months. This is a known problem across the acura models with hands free link, referenced in the acura forums. Additionally, not having a hands free system for cellular use poses a major public safety risk.

On our acura tl w/nav 08, the battery has been replaced 3 times in 6 months. Finally feed up, took the vehicle to the dealership. $1000 later, parts had to be replaced in the nav system and both motors in the mirrors had to be replaced. The navigation system is what was causing the battery to drain and the mirrors on both sides would freely click and move at will. I think at a minimum, acura should recall their vehicles and fix this problem and issue refunds to those of us who have paid to have their vehicles fixed.
