2015 Acura TLX body problems

STRUCTURE:BODY

The vehicle is experiencing extensive factory paint failure and clear-coat delamination on the roof, around the rear windshield, C-pillars, and upper door frames. The condition began approximately 12 months ago around the rear windshield and has progressively spread to multiple upper body panels despite normal ownership and maintenance. The paint is peeling in large sections, exposing the underlying paint layers. Research indicates Acura previously acknowledged a similar paint adhesion defect affecting certain 2015 Acura TLX vehicles around the rear windshield and issued a warranty extension for some vehicles. Although my vehicle may not have been included in that program, the failure pattern appears substantially similar. The vehicle has not been involved in any collision affecting these areas, and the paint appears to be the original factory finish. The condition continues to worsen over time. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Acura Client Relations has been contacted, and a case has been opened requesting inspection and review.

I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND I NOTICED PAINT JUST CHIPPING AWAY AS THE WATER HIT IT AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE AND STARTED BOTHERING ME. THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS COLOR BUT JUST NOT FOR THIS MODEL SO THEY WON'T FIX IT UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET !!!

THE PAINT ON THE ACURA TLX IS DEFECTIVE. ACURA HAS RECALLED THE PHANTOM BLUE PEARL PAINT FOR PEELING AROUND THE REAR WINDOW BUT WON'T RECALL THE BELLANOVA WHITE PEARL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I'VE SPOKEN WITH DEALER AND THEY AGREE IT'S A DEFECT IN THE PAINT. ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS WERE ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. I PERSONALLY KNOW OF 40/50 OTHER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT ISSUE. I ALSO KNOW OF HONDA OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, DROPPING SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER ME

THE PAINT IS PEELING AROUND THE BACK WINDSHIELD, CAUSING IT TO BEGIN TO RUST. I REPORTED IT TO ACURA A YEAR AGO WHEN IT WAS FIRST NOTICED AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT DUE TO THE WARRANTY BEING EXPIRED. SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THE EXACT SAME MODEL CAR HAVE REPORTED ISSUES, BUT IT IS HIT OR MISS ON IF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED IS WILLING TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.

I JUST TURNED ON TO THE HIGHWAY, AND THERE WAS NOT A CAR AROUND ME. I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN THERE WAS A HUGE SOUND, ALMOST LIKE A GUN SHOT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS COMPLETE SHATTERED WITH A GAPING HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. I WAS COMPLETELY DUMBFOUNDED BECAUSE I WASN'T UNDERNEATH A BRIDGE OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE CLEAR BLUE SKY. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME TO SAY AN OBJECT HIT IT EITHER. JUST COMPLETELY SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. THE BEST PART IS THAT ACURA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE SUNROOF WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO VERIFY THAT IT WASN'T CAUSED BY AN OBJECT HITTING IT. I'M HOPING MORE PEOPLE REPORT THIS ISSUE SO THE SUNROOF CAN BE RECALLED BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS THIS COMPLETE BS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF THE SUNROOF SHADE WASN'T CLOSED, I WOULD HAVE HAD CLASS SHARDS ALL OVER THE CAR AND MYSELF THAT COULD HAVE LANDED IN MY EYE AND CAUSED INJURY OR EVEN WORSE AND ACCIDENT.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 105 ACURA TLX TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE FROM CERRITOS ACURA, CALIFORNIA. I JUST FAINT OUT YESTERDAY THAT THERE ARE NO SAFETY CHILD LATCHES TO SECURE MY NIECE'S CARSEAT. ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE, INSTALLATION OF SAFETY LATCHES FOR USE ON CHILD CAR SEAT ARE STANDARDS ON VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER SEPTEMBER, 2002. DO YOU KNOW HOW I CAN GET THIS RESOLVED? THANK YOU.

I'VE PURCHASED A 2015 ACURA TLX APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK AGO AND THE CHROME OUTLINE ON THE AIR VENTS HAS AN EXTREME GLARE WHEN LOOKING AT THE SIDE MIRRORS. ON DEC 5TH 2014, I NOTIFIED THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN BUT HE SAID THAT'S THE FIRST HE'S HEARD OF IT AND DISMISSED THE COMPLAINT AS FAULTY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS THE MIRROR SHOULD BE SHOWING ME WHAT IS OUTSIDE THE CAR, NOT WHAT IS INSIDE THE CAR.
