| There are two safety issues with my 2003 acura cl. first, the headlights are flashing like a strobe light. i replaced the bulb and it did not fix the problem. replaced the fuses and still have the problems. second, the transmission is failing. after some research, i found out that there was a recall on the transmission and could lock up and cause an accident. at the time of the recall, the first owner did not have it replaced. the dealership replaced an engine cooler to help with friction. this obviously did not solve the problem. the engine is jerking and accelerating when i am trying to maintain a constant speed. i notified acura and the dealership where the car was purchased. neither are willing to cover the cost of the repair. *tr | |||

| I have a 2003 acura cls that required replacement of a headlight at 66000 miles. this headlight cost $928.85. this is a traffic safety item. it should not cost so much to make a young auto safe to drive. i believe this a manufactoring defect. it should be listed as a saftey recall. | |||

| Blue high intensity lighting creates a hazard to oncoming traffic. i seems to me that standard high beams are less hazardous to approaching traffic, and i along with almost everyone i have spoken to would like to see these be illegal to use on whichever models they are installed. *nlm | |||

| I am complaining about the new hid headlights on some new vehicles. they are very blinding to me and dangerous. they should be banned. i cannot fill out the rest of this correctly because dates and the complaint questions do not fit. *nlm | |||
