We have classified the 3 complaints from 2003 Acura CL about TIRES into the following categories.
I bought this acura cl type s 6-speed saturday, jan. 6, 2007. dealer had put new tires on vehicle as part of an acura certified used car program. on monday feb. 5, 2007, i was traveling on business leaving from work with bad weather pending. co-worker was to drive my car to my home for me, to keep in garage. my co-worker called less than a mile from work informing me of sidewall blow out on my driver's side rear tire, he had only traveled a short distance when car felt odd. he did not hit anything. my co-worker and my wife got the car to lindsay acura for service that night. the next day service consultant matt called to inform me of tire and rim damage he believes resulted from a pothole impact. (customer damage) not covered by warranty. this cost me $350.63. i have seen that there is other similar complaints (falken tire). *nm
I have a 2003 acura cl s type at 400 miles a tire was michelin tire was replaced for a bubble in the tire wall, the car is less than a year old and with 11,000 miles. i have replace two more tires for bubbles. now a fourth tire has a bubble. i am told by acura and michelin that these are caused by pot holes. there is no rim damage and i was told by costco that this is a big problem with this type acura because of suspension. this is not safe, some bubbles are on inside walls and can not be seen. i don't believe any testing was done. this tire should be outlawed. no one wants to take responsibility and i can not afford to replace tires every month these tire are brand new and michelin is making a ton of money. i have read many complaints where people have crashed. i would like to avoid this....i would like either michelin or acura to address this problem or i would like to get out of my lease since i was not aware of the unsafe condition of my vehicle. *ak *jb
