Acura website I'd showing decals for emc and power steering recalls on 08 Tsx non VIN specific search however my specific VIN isnt included. How do I register my VIN for similar recall issues.
My brakes have been defective since I bought the car 4 years ago. If you brake suddenly the car does not stop. If you hit a pothole there is a distinct slipping feeling in the brakes. I have to slow down ahead of time or gently pump the brakes to stop the car. I have taken the car to Acura and to my mechanic who is a certified Honda mechanic. They all said the brakes were fine. Each time I take my car in for service I ask them to check my brakes. They even replaced the brakes, but the problem still happened. On 1/31/19, traffic stopped suddenly in front of me on the freeway and I hit my brakes and the car did not stop, causing me to slam into the car in front of me, and that driver said I pushed her into the car in front of her. Thank god I escaped with only bruised ribs and a sprained thumb. And thank god no one else was injured. My car was totaled. The airbag deployed. It was terrifying.
The contact owns a 2008 Acura Tsx. Whenever the contact engages the brakes, the vehicle pulls to the right. He took the vehicle to the dealer several times, but they insisted that there were no failures. The issue occurred intermittently on six occasions, but could not be duplicated. The contact believes that this is a safety hazard because a crash could occur. He believes that the failure is due to a manufacturer defect and a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 200 and current mileage was 1,100.
