A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The contact owns a 2008 Acura TL. While the vehicle was making a left turn, the front driver's side ball joints and axle fractured and the front driver's side wheel detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the axle and ball joints failed and fractured due to the weight of the vehicle. The mechanic replaced the ball joints and axle. The vehicle was repaired. On another occasion, while reversing the vehicle, the contact heard a pop sound. When he stopped the vehicle, it dropped to the ground. The contact noticed that the front driver's side wheel was leaning at a sixty degree angle and the fender was bent outwards. The vehicle was currently parked on the side of the road. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 142,000.

My 2008 Acura TL's compliance bushings were found to be cracked. However, what makes me report this to the NHTSA is the fact that Acura's 2004-2008 TL compliance bushings consistently crack, posing a danger to the car's occupants, and any surrounding cars. The cracked compliance bushings pose a danger because it becomes possible for the lower control arm to come loose, causing the collapse of the respected wheel, posing a threat to traffic. On another occasion, a 2004-2006 Acura TL's wheel collapsed in the middle of a crowded street, and thankfully other cars were able to avoid the TL, however, a bigger issue could arise if this were to happen on a highway, or if a driver couldn't avoid the TL. NHTSA, please look into this issue. It's a pricey fix at dealers, and Acura should take this into consideration.
