2011 Acura TL problems

Filed Oct 20, 2023 · Airbags · NM

I purchased a 2011 Acura TL with a salvaged title. The steering wheel airbag appeared to have been repaired with certain glue or epoxy after appearing to have been deployed by previous owner. However the airbag is fully intact. The Acura dealership refused to conduct the recall due to this issue. Would this warrant a refusal to be replaced by the dealership? Thank you

Driving my 2011 Acura TL on I95 South in NC from VA to SC at about 2p on 12/2/22, It is a clear sunny day. It is 62 degrees out, there were no vehicles around and no debris flying or dropping and no overpasses or anything around. Heard a loud explosion. Sounded like a shovel with a ton of rocks being dropped on the roof. Opened the slider for moonroof (which is a original manufactured item) and realized the sound was the moonroof glass. The glass was shattered and huge amount missing. Glass rained down into the car all over everything including me. No evidence of any source of cause for this happening. Just glass shards. Appears to have just combusted on its own? Prior to this event the moonroof was operable and in good working order with no cracks or anything. Setup a service appointment for tomorrow 12/3/22 at 3p at McDaniel's Acura dealership in Charleston, SC

The car is burning oil at an accelerated rate which causes a warning when the oil life is around 40 to 50% that the engine has low oil level.

I drove my acura tl to duval acura on 07/13/2019 @73000 miles, due to concerns regarding my transmission. I heard grunting type of dragging vibrations between 1st and 2nd gear going into the 3rd. The mechanic rode with me and advised that's the way the car sounds and talked me into a transmission fluid change. He promised me that nothing was wrong. In my gut I felt something was wrong. Between 07/15/19 -08/30/19 I had a transmission service including changing the fluid the car appeared to be ok. The next day I contacted duval acura due all of my transmission fluid was on the ground, stained my garage. I had to have my acura tl transported by tow to the dealership to be repaired. Not even sure if damage was done to the transmission due to their mistake. Also, I have an email from duval acura advising my car was under warranty eff 07/17/2019 at the time of concern. Recently, the sounds have returned while driving, currently at 83000 on 08/13/2020 , I emailed acura to inquire about the torque converter warranty. The advised the 8 yr or 105k miles, also advised the car was never serviced for this which in fact it was on 12/17/2012 at riverside acura. Acura needs to re-service the torque converter as it is known to be an issue and since they advised it was not done, the car is due its due just service since the car has been serviced faithfully and not one person took the time to advise or research at the time I made the duval acura aware. The car is still well within the mileage and should he honored since the car has been properly serviced by bringing it to duval acura and their mistake of service that could have impacted my transmission.

I was driving my vehicle on the highway to work and my electronic power steering went out I almost hit a tractor trailer and it caused me to have a panic attack because it all happened so fast I did not know what to do besides slam on the brakes. This issue could of potentially caused my death or other peoples death or injury , this could of ended out bad. Can you please contact me asap regarding this issue. And there should be a recall on the electronic power steering system because any acura owners with high miles on the vehicles could end up having this same issue and could end up being a law suit.
