1 Suspension problem of the 2002 Acura RL

Failure Date: 10/23/2024

About 2013 the 2000 Acura Rl vsa and abs lights came on then the tilt on the steering wheel up and down stop working then the srs lights and seat belts light came on and want go off. So from then till now I have spent about 15k to correct the vsa and abs issues. Replace rotors bearing wheel sensor tires rack and pinion ball joints and power steering pressure hose. But I found out that the problem is the driver side motor mount. Cost is 100 for the part. The part to fix the issue is discontinued. I talk to daisy at Acura corporation relations and disagreed with the answer because the motor mount is a common problem for Acura 3. 5rl because the angle sensor can not be connected with out replacing the driver door side motor mount I gave her the part number from Acura warehouse parts and she couldn't the part and told me it was discontinued part number 50815-sz3-033. There is no refund for the trouble that this part has cost me. The high pressure power steering switch is also discontinued. The navigation and security door locks are also not working no communication with onstar.

2 Suspension problem of the 2002 Acura RL

Failure Date: 04/17/2024

This is a continuation complaint with national cemter for dispute settlement to fix safty issues and discontinued parts. The car is not 40 years old and I cannot find a maintenance repair book. The power door locks are coming on and off and the fob key do not work sutton acuta in macon said it needs the antenna but the antenna is discontinued. The navigation system doesn't work because the 6 chamger dvd in the trunk is not working with no electrical tech support from on star. Abs vsa trachion control is on for motr tan 3 years but the vsa switch is discontinued part. The srs light was turn off at the nally Acura in marietta but they came back on and been on for 3 or 5 years. The car is not safe for driving after spending 10000 dollars to repair the same issue. This is my frustration with safty and no support.

3 Suspension problem of the 2005 Acura RL

Failure Date: 04/01/2013

Both struts appeared good on smooth road, but are essentially rock solid on potholes or bumps. In 60 years of driving I have never had a failed shock so never considered it and bought this 10 year old car. Scant and incomplete data related to all brands on the internet blames the routine lifting of the car for tire rotation and breaking of internal parts that block the oil flow in the shock. This seems reasonable since many events occur in pairs (in front; I don't know about rear) . I expect that a single failure could cause obvious safety problems. Many miles of good operation are cut off for owners by this diabolical design error in addition to the added repair expense of approximately $1000. (+ and -) I believe that the dealer (brand not important) did not recognize the problem, indicating that more exposure and training is required. Parts people and mechanics seem to be aware but there is no concerted effort to solve it. (a conflict of interest?).
