Exterior Lighting problem #1

Manufacturer has not reimbursed recall repair paid out-of-pocket despite complete documentation and extended delay. Which was opened on 10/3/2025 the repair was done back in Feb 2024 !.

Exterior Lighting problem #2

Nhtsa recal #19v-256 so according to Acura, this vehicle had the tail lights replaced in 2019 but the tail lights broke again in 2023. How do we know if Acura just replaced with same oem tail lights but didn't fix the problematic tail lights. These lights are not a simple bulb replacement, it is costly in $600/ea range to replace whole assembly.

Exterior Lighting problem #3

The rear tail lights stopped working completely due to manufacturing defect of rear tail lights causing electric short circuit by moisture . Defective tail lights safety recall was performed in August 2021 by dennisville Acura. The rear tail lights stopped working again due to same issue. Took to the dealer davis Acura on 17 Feb 2022 to perform the safety recall again and dealer refused to perform the repair to fix the safety recall issue. I want to file a complaint against Honda of na and davis Acura of langhorne for refusing to perform safety recall on a vehicle with safety recall issue.
