My 2008 Acura Tl's compliance bushings were found to be cracked. However, what makes me report this to the NHTSA is the fact that Acura's 2004-2008 Tl compliance bushings consistently crack, posing a danger to the car's occupants, and any surrounding cars. The cracked compliance bushings pose a danger because it becomes possible for the lower control arm to come loose, causing the collapse of the respected wheel, posing a threat to traffic. On another occasion, a 2004-2006 Acura Tl's wheel collapsed in the middle of a crowded street, and thankfully other cars were able to avoid the Tl, however, a bigger issue could arise if this were to happen on a highway, or if a driver couldn't avoid the Tl. Nhtsa, please look into this issue. It's a pricey fix at dealers, and Acura should take this into consideration.
While making a left turn, I head loud noise on the driver side. The car stopped accelerating. After I hit the gas pedal much harder, it started accelerating but very slowly. The movement felt like jerking movement. I stopped the car on the side of the road, and made an appointment at the Acura dealership. They found out that the front lower control arm bushings were cracked. Not replaceable under warranty, even though they acknowledged that all Acuras have this issue, some at 35k miles, some at higher miles.
