This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My vehicle has a check engine light. The code indicates the issue is the fuel neck filler (part number 17660-S3VA02) which has been confirmed by my mechanic. This is a safety item due to some type of fuel leak in the filler neck area for gasoline which causes the check engine light. The part is on backorder and from my conversations with multiple dealerships, there is no estimated date of delivery. Apparently, there is a high number of vehicles having this issue. As a result, I am unable to smog my vehicle due to some type of fuel leak. It appears there is a safety item that needs to be addressed immediately.
Multiple safety and recalls on this vehicle including air bag system, ABS, transmission shift sensor, emission build up causing clogging in exhaust system, map sensor torque converters, differential issues, rough idle and shift interlock solenoid issues. Fluid leaks and brake sticks also air bag light wont go off.
I have had to replace the fuel filler pipe 3 times because it leaked fuel vapors and caused the check engine light to come on. All 3 part replacements were genuine Acura parts. The replacements took place in 2010(metro Acura), 2013(dan's mobile and smog station) and 2016(dan's mobile and smog station). The last failure was caused by the crimping of the metal gas cap fitting to the plastic fuel filler pipe during the part manufacturing process. The crimping went through the plastic and caused the fumes to leak. These fumes are very noticeable in the cabin of the car and create the possibility of explosion. All 3 replacements have cost me about $500. I reported this matter to Acura client services but they were unconcerned.
I can not go pass 25mph the truck will reeve up, then turn off after driving for one mile. The engine mount, shakes. I was told it is a transmission issue. Sometimes the gears don't switch from original position, ex. Park to drive.
