Battery Dead problems of the 2007 Acura TL

After being parked for about 2 weeks the battery started fine. I drove 10 miles, turned off the car for 1 hour, tried to start the car again and the engine would not turn over. The inside lights were on but the headlights were dim. After trying to start the car several times both the inside lights and the headlights were completely out. I had to call aaa for a jump because the battery was dead. I thought this was odd but then I remembered a friend of mines has a 2008 Tl and he has to jump his battery weekly. So I did an internet search and learned that thousands of Acura owners are having the same problem and most attribute the problem to the hands free link systems (hfl). So I called Acura and they confirmed that the cause is most likely due to hands free link system. Why hasn't this been a recall? is Acura waiting for some to die first? this is safety issue and a racket! the dealer charges nearly $200 to diagnose the problem and several hundred more dollars to fix it. A recall is warranted!!!.

My battery failed for the second time in a couple of months and required a jump in order for the car to start. I took it to an Acura dealership where they determined that the handsfree link system was electrically faulty and was staying on continuously, whether the car was running or not. Hence, there was a constant draw on the battery. To (hopefully) resolve the problem, I had the dealership replace the battery and the handsfree link system.

The contact owns a 2007 Acura Tl. The contact attempted to start the vehicle but to no avail. The battery had failed. The battery was replaced. Two years later, the failure recurred. The dealer replaced the battery. There were no prior warnings of the failure. The failure mileage was 8,000 and the current mileage was 25,000.
