| My 2004 acura tl was parked during an ice storm in raleigh, nc, last week. when i returned to my car and started it on wednesday, january 12, 2011, the windshield wipers would not come on. i checked the fuses and did not find a problem there. i brought my car to the dealer for oil change, brake pads, and to check the wipers this morning. i looked on this website and found out there had been a recall in 2008 of the windshield wiper motor. when i called the dealer, they informed me that the recall service had already been performed on my vehicle in 2008. it seems to me that something else is wrong if the motor has failed again. this is costing me about $380 and am wondering if there is anything i can do to recoup the money for this repair. is it not likely that this problem is related to the previous problem for which the car was recalled? there was no problem with the windshield wipers prior to my trip, and the car sat in the same spot from saturday night until wednesday morning. | |||

| I noticed a large crack on the passenger side dashboard running along the left side of the airbag compartment, we haven't had any accidents or anything that would cause this, i had the car inspected by the dealership where we purchased the car (new) in 2004 and i was told it was considered a cosmetic problem and that it would not interfere with airbag deployment...also to replace the dashboard would cost $1200! i personally feel that acura should be forced to issue a recall and replace the dashboard before someone dies because the passenger-side airbag either deploys wrong or not at all! | |||

| On honda accords/acura tl's 2004-2008 the navigation systems are failure and causing reboots nearly every 30 seconds. at night driving, this causes the navigation screen light to brightly flash every 30 seconds and the system will not function and allow you to turn the screen off or minimize brightness. on a recent trip from atlanta, georgia to baltimore, maryland at night i had to place an obstacle on the screen to avoid the flashing. i contacted acura and they are aware that this is happening and that the fix is to purchase a new system at $3,500 or sent the system to alpine (the maker of the navigation system) and have them attempt to repair it for $158.00 fee. after reviewing numerous forum sites on honda/acura i have found this to be a very common event. i feel that this is very dangerous while driving at night. my son attempted to drive this vehicle on 12/24/2011 during the day and brought the car back home because of the flashing and annoyance while driving. this was coming from a 22 year old. i've asked my children to not drive the vehicle at night so to avoid any issues. has there been any reports? acura told me that they report to this agency monthly and that my report/call to them today would be submitted this month. | |||
