problem #1

Jul 012006

TL 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 62,500 miles
While driving the car on highway, right front ball-joint broke in half with no warning or reason. Right front tire became perpendicular to the vehicle. Wife and child were in vehicle with complete loss of control of vehicle. The ball joint was absolutely defective and Acura refused to assist in repair, claiming no responsibility. I own 2 Acura and will never buy Honda again.
