| The handsfree link (bluetooth) module failed. i've read that this is a common occurrence from the website i belong to acurazine.com (a website for acura owners/enthusiasts). i consider it a safety issue since it allows you to use your cellphone while driving without having to use your handset. the car's stereo speaker system and a built-in microphone allows you to conduct a phone call. i have read it is a poor design choice on acura's part placing the bluetooth module in the car ceiling near the roof. sitting in the sun, the module fries and eventually fails. acura refuses to do anything about it stating that it is out of warranty. they want to charge $110 just to diagnose it and over $700 to install a new device. i hope acura owners complain and write letters to acura about this issue. i feel a safety recall should be issued and perhaps even relocating the module out of the heat from the sun. | |||

| My car (acura tl 2006) caught fire on 11/09/2007 at 10:00pm cst while passing by a mcdonalds drive through; at 6233 n broadway, chicago il. the mcdonalds cashier first noticed the smoke coming out of the hood and pointed it out to me. i pulled the car in the parking lot and tried to put out the fire with my jacket but it only grew bigger. a standing by police officer noticed the incident and pulled me away from the car. 911was called and the fire department arrived in 2 minutes. the car burned during that time. the firemen were able to put out the fire. acura is refusing to accept this as potential defect in their car. this is clearly an example of a badly manufactured vehicle that jeopardized my life and the life of people around the car. i would like to request that an investigation be initiated and acura be held responsible for this. *tr | |||
