Brand new Acura TL 2008 model. The rear left tire went flat without cause. I called the manufacturer they told me to go to mavis and have them look at it. I am on a donut and they expect me to go drive around. Rather then shipping a new tire to my dealer so he can put it on they told me to go have it looked at it. This means I have to risk my life driving to a dealer who is going to try to charge me more money. I have 1,300 miles on my brand new car.

Bad brakes. I had a 2006 Acura TL and I traded it in for a 2008 Acura TL. The brakes are very poor on this 2008. I feel like they downgraded the safety of their consumers to cut cost. I almost crashed 3X in 2 days of having car because the car does not stop and I have to the press the brakes all the way down. I feel like this car is dangerous because it does not have good performance brakes like the 2006 Acura TL did. At 41K miles my 06 TL had better braking then this 2008. Shame on Acura for risking our lives for money. How many people have to die before Acura installs performance rotors and brakes like they did in the past? none yet!!! I am scared to drive help!
