Nothing is perfect. No matter how good it was, there always has positive and negative comments. Just take it easy.

I think you mean:

"My family and I have owned 7 Acuras so far"


More seriously, I think for any car company, even one as reliable as Acura, there are going to be some small percentage of people who have problems. If you look the rates in Consumer Reports, you do have between 5% to 10% of all Acura drivers who have serious problems with their cars (which is one of the best problem rates in the industry). Multiple that number times hundreds of thousands of cars, and you can expect to see some number of malcontents.

Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy good luck with your newest Acura!

well, just like some other forums/websites against other brands, such as u go to BMW's, you'll read alots someone own MBs, Audi, or Jag complain or say BMW suck, I would say from some car forums, there are 4 kinds of people
1. own the brand, Honda/Acura here, and like or own other brand;
2. own the brand, but dislike others;
3. own other brand, but like others and
4. own others and dislike others.
we are in a freedom world, so we can say whatever we want (of course it should be legal), so why not ignore the no.2 and 4 when u feel offensive.
again this is my thought only, and of course u can against mine

I believe that a reputation like Acura/Honda has makes a small minority freak out when they experience unreliabilty.

For example:
Let's take the idiotic terms like "surgical strike" and "smart bomb" that have been pounded non-stop into our ears for the past decade or so. They lull us into a belief that war can be conducted with little or no harm to the enemy's civilian population, while destroying so called military targets with precision and totallity. So when the bombs start falling, we are somehow pacified to think that only the bad guys are taking it on the chin, while the surrounding neighbors are still comfy watching Al Jazeera.

So when something goes wrong(wrong target, lots of civi casualties), the backlash is greater and more intense because what was previously advertised as "surgical","precise" and "smart", has become what it truly is - random death and destruction from above.

Although Honda never falsely boasts or propagates that they are capable of perfection and reliability for every customer, their reputation is taken too seriously by some who come to believe that they are buying a car that, within reason, never rattles, never has bugs, and never breaks down. An expectation that is impossible to live up to. They are just an unfortunate minority.

Acura/Honda rocks!!!

Hey, y'all -- Beware of clicking stuff on that "acurasucks" site!

I looked at the site, and one of the things that I clicked gave one of those nuisance things -- endless pop-ups with obnoxious sound effects to boot.

BTW I hope nobody thinks I'm an Acura agent trying to protect the company from negative publicity.

smap

ahhhhhhh
all it is, is just pplz abusing the customer service and how they got treated....and i didnt really see anyone bad mouthing the cars???
so its sorta a good thing
or maybe i didnt read it all??

tony4311

look at it this way. For everything and anything you like or love there are people that despise it. No biggie

I wasn't sure until you clarified that .

Crazytree

I guess none of you guys have read the rattle Sticky up top and seen what aholes the Acura CSRs have been?

ecsw

hahaha.... I thought I will never see sites like this to Acura. Now we have it too. :P

Check this out, the best "sucks" website ever.

And I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this one from Yonkers, NY!!!!

"I would like to know if any acura owners have had problems with their tires and rims. My son has an acura 2002 3.2TL about a month ago he hit either a pot hole or a curb and his tire got a bubble and had to be replaced. I just recently bought a MDX (picked it up 6-12-03) and my daughter hit a pot hole, then a curb (coming from a red light), blew out two tires cracked a rim and now I'm told there is damage to the axle, frame, and whatever. I had a Ford Explorer and I could run over anything. I find this so hard to believe, 2 acura cars in 1 household with the same problem. If there is anyone else who this happened too I would like to know. I feel there could be a defect in the manufacturing."

Thank You, Maria"

ROTFLMAO ... A problem in manufacturing the Acuras or manufacturing the kids??? What did HONDA have to do with the kids? Jeez Louise, Maria, either get your kids driving lessons or write Senator Clinton and tell her to get off her soap box and fill up the New York potholes!

People like this make our country interesting.

jcg878

Hmm, not the most subtle shot at our military OR the first analogy that I'd think of, but I'll take it.

Freedom of speech my friend. Sorry to have to break it you, but not everyone will conform to your likings.

Maybe someone should make a site called www.peoplehatebrerpie.com or www.brerpiesucks.com.

2004_Acura_TSX

there are so many of these negative websites for so many different things....i.e. paypalsucks.com

I guess these people are entitled to their own opinions about things.

darth62

Maybe we should start an acurasucks_sucks.com!

Seriously, though, I think this site does have one point. Acura builds great cars that are reliable, but the deales to tend to be fairly arrogant. Support from Acura of America is not great either.

It isn't like dealing with Infiniti or Lexus.

I would certainly buy another Acura, but I do understand why some drivers get annoyed.

ecsw

Hahaha.... I remember there was a complain about Mz6 on the website telling ppl not to buy Mazda. The guy told the reason.... "His new Mz6 has flat tire within the first month which has never happened to any of his cars before."

What the hell does the flat tire have anything to do with car manufacture? lol

Crazytree

as someone who had the opportunity to shoot off multi-million dollar munitions... let me reassure you that NONE of the shit works as advertised.

in fact with the TOW missiles... they actually did not even fire about 50% of the time... you'd have to take them off the vehicle and fire them from a man-portable assembly.

just a FYI.

Ozzman

Unless your using Internet Explorer, most other modern browsers allow you to block pop-up windows. Not sure why Explorer hasn't implemented this wonderful feature yet, but I think there are programs that can add that functionality to Explorer (for a price).

spc

You can try Google toolbar (works nice and include search feature) for free:

Thanks, Ozz and SPC. You must be psychic -- yeah, we do have Explorer. We'll look into the possibilities.

DEVO

pay pal does suck.

larchmont

not!

It's because IE has already achieved ubiquity. MSFT has no incentive for any more improvements.

gregor

The geek in me says Acura should have gone and registered the address before it got outta hand, or sued for trademark infringement.

But that would affect this site, too I guess...

fdl

Dell has filed suits against any website with the word dell in it. I guess Acura could do the same but your right it would definately be bad news for this site

So now MSFT says they will add pop-up blocking after all. Read all about it. Next thing you know they will "innovate" with tabbed browsing. -snore-

dabuda

acurasucks.com is a funny site...i like the picture of the guys with the signs outside the dealership...reminded me of these
:whocares: :noob: :piitb2:

For current Acura owners and future customers I would be worried not because this type of Acura dealers exist but because Acura company has not steped in to resolved these issues to customer satisfaction. Acura should step in and shut these dealers down.

spc

Agree Acura needs to do something about the bad dealership. Maybe open up a new one not too far away to build up competition.
