Air Bags · at 102,250 miles · reported Sep 10, 2008
I was driving on interstate 40 west and my airbags spontaneously deployed, breaking my windshield, causing burns to my forearm & abdomen, and leaving me with ringing in the ears.
Tires · reported Mar 7, 2007
Discount tires provided me tires with a 195/50-15 size, when my vehicle calls for a 195/55-15 size. I had been driving it and my tires kept deflating. I finally went someone else to get them replaced and I was told that the tires given to me did not meet manufactures specifications. If this okay for a company to provide the wrong size tires? Are there any rules against this?
Power Train · at 49,509 miles · reported Nov 8, 2005
I had a computer problem in my car (Acura integra 2001) and I went to the acura of avon dealership to have it looked at. They told me that the computer needed to be replaced and the idling valve. I had the work done. Then, I had several additional problems that started occurring with the car, including a failed transmission. The car only has 49, 515 miles on it. For all of these problems to be occurring with a car that is only 4 1/2 years old, in excellent condition, and such low mileage, is quite shocking.
