Starter problems of the 2006 Acura TL

All of the lights on the inside of my car have stopped working. Including the dash where radio and air are controlled. My car will not start if I don't drive it about every 8 hours. Even when I am constantly driving it has a hard time starting. . Read more...

Over the years since I purchased the Acura 06 Tl I have been having problems with the battery- car won't start sometimes. I purchased a few batteries already. Finally on 7-24-2017 I was out of town (west palm beach) when my car won't start. I went to closest Acura dealer where I learned that the issue was a defective hfl that had a parasitic drain on the battery from defective hfl. Had to purchase another battery. Acura never informed me that there was a defect of hand free link. In past I had to replace the starter and power steering. Certain features still does not work- passenger front window, heating element for car seat passenger, power outlet in console box.

I have been having a battery drain problem. I charge the battery and it drains overnight. Battery was check out to be ok. This is the second battery that I bought in two years. I also bought a portable starter so as not to be stranded. Finally the bluetooth fuse was removed and draining stopped for about six weeks. I am noticing that the car when started in the morning is beginning to sound like the problem may be occurring again. Now the second issue is that the passenger dashboard side is cracked. I feared that the airbag would eventually deploy therefore I took it to the dealer. They assured me that it was safe and wrote on the paperwork I received that it was safe. On hot days, the split on both sides of the airbag are much wider and I can now see the shape of the hinge or bolt that keeps it together. Driving with this situation is very unnerving. Acura needs to remedy this issue. Those that go into my car are appalled and would never purchase an Acura based on my vehicle.

Battery kept going dead and stranding me in multiple places. Had to purchase a portable car starter in order to keep restarting the car. Couldn't find any official reasons behind it from any Acura sources. After some internet searching I found out that the hfl bluetooth module was causing a battery drain for many other owners. Solution was to remove the module. After that the problem went away. Was stranded multiple times -- very unsafe!! also had to purchase car starter and new battery! Acura dealers refused to pay for the new hfl replacement. This is a safety issue that has affected many drivers. Could be very dangerous.

I've been having problems with my Acura Tl (2006) starting. In January of this year, it was determined that I had a faulty battery and that was replaced under warranty. Last week, my car was getting very slow to start. I take it in to Acura and they tell me that the hands free link has a parasitic draw on the battery and told me it needed to be replaced. I have never, ever used this feature and was incensed that I had to pay $400 to replace it! today, a mere seven days later, my car would not start at all. I had it towed back to the Acura and they tell me its the starter. . . Over $500 to fix!!! I've read on several forums that there have been issues with the hfl. Being stranded is a safety issue! Acura and the government needs to take this seriously. I am a single parent and this has placed a parasitic drain on my savings!.
