problem #1

Jul 092006

TL 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 19,000 miles
My 2005 Acura TL EL42 Bridgestone rear tires went completely bald on a 3000 mile trip(19000 miles total) from dallas to Colorado and back. It appears that there is a suspension/tire problem where the rear alignment under full load of 2 passangers and luggage in the trunk degrades and causes severe tire wear. This causes severe loss of control on wet pavement with rear hydroplaning at even <50 mph. Acura has a tsb and replace tires at lowered cost but only with the suspect EL42 tires. After further internet searches this seem not to be isolated incident.
