This is a complaint about the defective tpms components in this vehicle. I sent a copy to Acura and Honda client relations and to the dealer (montano Acura). [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
I had leak in my passenger side rear tire. When changing I noticed the spare is attached to the under carriage of my vehicle. I think this poses a safety hazard because over time because of weather the hardware that anchors the tire could fail. If that happens the tire could come lose causing an accident. Acura need to reassses the placement of their spare tire.
At approximately 500 miles on the odometer, the steering wheel began vibrating when traveling between 58-62 mph. Steering wheel vibrated with and without braking. At approximately 1,000 miles, steering wheel began vibrating violently when traveling between 58-62 mph. Steering wheel vibrated with and without braking. Dealership rotated tires.

The dealership replaced front rotors and rotated tires. At approximately 3,000 miles, steering wheel began vibrating violently again when braking between 55-65 mph.
