2005 acura navigation system problems
#2005 ACURA NAVIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEMS DRIVER#
There is a screwdriver nick on the back on driver seat.Ħ. There is gap between seat heating buttons and cup holders.ĥ. The wood panel around gear shifter is chipped from 2 corners.Ĥ. They are also leaving marks on the windshield.ģ. The wipers are really squeaky and shuddering. I could clearly smell white smoke when following a bad truck yesterday even when recirculation was on from the start.Ģ. The "recirculation" option does not seem to be working as desired. Here is the list of other complaints that I faxed to my dealer (Miami Acura)ī) The following defects developed with the fix up:ġ. The glove box rattles and the car's developed a rattling noise from the rear. The B pillar noises are very troubling (B pillar is where the driver pulls his seat belt from).
The lower cover underneath the wheel seems to be falling apart.Įarlier I had rattling noises from the B pillar and center console, now the entire car except the center console rattles. So now I have a center console that seems to be doing no noises, but there is a 8 mm gap in the glove box (it just seems to be falling apart). As per what the mechanic told me, everything in the TL's center console just clamps together in a kinda very tricky way. Now the car has twice the amount of problems. Then I picked my car back and here is when the fun began. But overall it more than compensates in my eyes by allowing me to change my destination without having to pull over and put the car in park. The navigation has some issues of its own like its slow, the screen resolution is lower than in Lexus and it has only 2 modes for display in less than a mile whereas I think the Lexus has 5 modes - they are really handy while city driving. They kept it for 13 days and gave me a loaner (which was nice coz the loaner was also a TL, but without navigation which I really missed). Perforation (small holes in the leather) may seem like a good idea to Acura, but is very difficult to maintain.Īnyhow I took the car into my dealer for repairs. The leather starts getting greyish black. The car had extreme torque steer, which the dealer said they will try and correct.Īnd please don't even think of buying a beige leather in an Acura. The cheap plastics Acura uses on the center console were making rattling noises from day one. The B pillar on driver side was making rattling noise from day one. Within a week my gas cover clamp broke off, then one of my rear tires started wobbling. I really like the navigation system and the fact that it does not lock out while driving like a Lexus does.īut I have been really frustrated with the build quality of this car. 270 HP, nice interior, loads and loads of features. The TL seems like a fantastic car on the fact of it. I love cars and I did my homework on this one.
