2006 Acura TL Other / unspecified Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the other system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Other / unspecified reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE "CHECK TPMS" WARNING LIGHT KEEPS ON COMING ON AND OFF IRREGULARLY, AND THE TPMS DISPLAYS VERY WRONG TIRE PRESSURE MEASUREMENT NUMBERS. I CHECKED THE TIRES MANUALLY, AND READ THEIR PRESSURE ALL AROUND 33 PSI WHILE THE TPMS DISPLAYED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE AS 58 PSI.

I OWN A ACURA TL 2006 CAR, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL'S BRAKE CALIPER HAS FAILED AND IT DOES NOT RETRACT THE BREAK PISTON THEREFORE THE BRAKES ALWAYS BEING APPLIED. THIS IS CAUSING THE WHEELS TO BE SUPER HEATED AND SEVERE BURNING SMELL COMING OUT OF THE CAR'S REAR AREA. HAVING TALKED TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS I PAY $350. *TR

I BOUGHT ACURA 2006 TL IN NOVEMBER 2006 AND I HAVE NOTICED THERE IS A CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SITS. I NOTICED ON 8/6/11 AND NOW AFTER ONE WEEK THESE CRACKS ARE STARTED GROWING. I ASKED THE DEALER IN PEMBROKE PINES AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME 800 BUCKS WHICH IS WAY EXPENSIVE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED FROM THE MANUFACTURE THAT THEY WOULDN'T CARE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

2006 HANDS FREE LINK STOPPED WORKING AFTER LESS THAN 5 YEARS. TO REPLACE THE PART, ACURA CHARGES APPROXIMATELY $650+TAX. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PART FOR $700....PARTS AND LABOR. THE LABOR INVOLVED IN MINIMAL. ALSO, TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER WANT $110. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS OUT THERE WHO HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM, AS I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE VIA THE INTERNET. ACURA SHOULD PROVIDE A RECALL OR REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART AN NO COST. *TR

Crash reported
AT AROUND 8,000 MILES, I HIT A CURB HARD ENOUGH TO BEND THE WHEEL OF MY 2006 ACURA. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WHEEL AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. 3 MONTHS AND 3,000 MILES LATER, THE WHEEL CAME OFF THE AXEL. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING AROUND 5 MILES PER HOUR HEADED TO A STOP SIGN WHEN IT HAPPENED, OTHERWISE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL INCIDENT. THE BOLT THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM WAS COMPLETELY SEVERED. THERE ARE MARKS ACROSS IT THAT SHOW THE WEAR ON THE BOLT OVER THE 3,000 MILES. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT HITTING THE CURB HAS CAUSED THE BOLT TO BE DAMAGED AND THAT THEY HAD SEEN IT IN ONE OTHER ACURA THAT HAD A SIMILAR SITUATION. I HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN THAT EITHER THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM OR THE METAL USED TO MAKE THE BOLT IS SUBSTANDARD. HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE, THE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT. *NM

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
