COMPLAINED ABOUT PAINT FADING ON HOOD OVER ENGINE, COMPLAINED ABOUT SHOCKS AND STRUTS THAT DON'T NEED REPLACEMENT BUT THERE IS SOMETHING LOOSE THAT IS MAKING NOISE, I HAVE UPDATED HOME ADDRESS WITH ACURA BUT EVEN SO WHEN I MOVED IN 2017 I DID A CHANG OF ADDRESS. THEY HAVE REPLACED ALTERNATOR, THAT I DON'T BELIEVE NEEDED CHANGING AT THAT TIME, SERVICE TECH AT ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IF I SERVICED MY CAR WOULD BURN UP BUT OF COURSE OFFERED ME TO BUY A NEW CAR. ACURA SERVICE AT SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME PICTURES OR MENTIONED TRANSMISSIONS LEAK BUT HONDA GAVE ME ALL EVIDENCE.

THE CAR DISPLAYED MULTIPLE ERRORS ON ITS MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY. THE ERRORS INCLUDE BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, ABS PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM. THOSE ERROR MESSAGES WENT AWAY ON MY WAY TO ELK GROVE ACURA BUT I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THEM ON MY PHONE. THERE WAS STILL AN ERROR MESSAGE IN THE ACURALINK SYSTEM FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING THAT I SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR. HE DELETED THE MESSAGE WITHOUT TELLING ME AND SAID THOSE ERRORS ARE CAUSED BY A LOW BATTERY. HE WENT TO TEST THE BATTERY AND IT TESTED FINE SO I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO FIX. HE SENT ME HOME AFTER REFUSE MY REQUEST TO DOCUMENT THE ERRORS WITH ACURA. HE MADE IT LIKE I NEVER BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THOSE PROBLEMS NEVER EXISTED.

2016 ACURA ILX 1. BREAKS SQUEAL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH A MORE INDUSTRIAL ROTOR. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO RECALL, THE DEALERSHIP STATED ITS BECOMING A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THE ILX. SEEMED TO BE WELL FOR A WHILE BUT PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. 2. BACK WINDOWS MISALIGNED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND PARTS NEEDED TO BE ORDERED TO FIX THE ISSUE. 3. TAKATA INFLATORS. TAKATA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND PAY FOR A COMPARABLE RENTAL VEHICLE. SAFETY SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY CONSIDERING THEY MANUFACTURED A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND APPARENTLY DID NOT DO ENOUGH TESTING BEFORE RELEASE. I DON'T BLAME HONDA, I BLAME TAKATA FOR ONLY DOING THE BARE MINIMUM AND BACKING THE CAR DEALERSHIPS INTO A CORNER. NEXT TIME I PURCHASE A VEHICLE, I WILL BE CHECKING THE AIR BAG MANUFACTURER BEFORE I BUY! CAR DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN AMAZING AND HAS WONDERFUL SERVICE!
