CL 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

1) approximately 18 months ago, I began noticing an oily/greasy substance on my windshield when I used my window washer cleaner. I assumed it was faulty wipers and replaced these repeatedly over the next 18 months only to have the problem return. 2) Acura tsb 01004 and NHTSA item number 623220 details the problem...the oil/greasy film being deposited on the windshield is so severe, that it becomes impossible to see out of the windshield; which could potentially result in loss of control of the vehicle and a car crash. 3) Acura will not make the needed repair since the vehicle is no longer covered under the manufacturers warranty.
