Talking Fun: who to blame for any quality problems...

Although I expect that my new TL will be mostly trouble free when I get it later this week, for those of you having problem here's who you can blame:

Thumbs down Re: Fun: who to blame for any quality problems...

Thanks. You're right. I email to John and let him know this lady's team doesn't do the good job.

This lady is "... vehicle quality project leader for the new Acura automobile, being manufactured exclusively at the Marysville auto plant... was responsible for managing the quality department through the project "as far as specifications, new features and scheduling the cars."

Should they fire her? Yes... 'cause this car isn't as very good as they've mentioned about. I hate ppl have exaggerated the facts, and said something different. (maybe this vehicle is better than most of cars in the market now, but it's not even near-flawless...)

Does she know how to drive the car? Does she really sit inside and think about what else her team could do for this 04TL?

IMO, this team has failed to reach their goals.

There is no "perfect car" guys. Nothing and nobody is going to be perfect or problem free.

I say we string the b*tch up anyway, though

My understanding is that Honda doesn't run any Union shops. And by the way, I'm 37 so I guess I fit the demographics.

I had no idea I was 35 and driving a geezer's car. Time to sell.

Say rets, maybe we should blame the people who test drove the car in the Southwest instead in REAL climates, so they didn't discover those loser tires, not their boss.

Considering the price to content ratio and the fact it is an American car in design and place of manufacturer.


YOU GUYS COMPLAIN A LOT!!!


I DO agree the tire/vibration issue is inexusable though.

But still... I hear mostly complaining on here. Shame on you all

She's just making sure the cars are configured right, that they have EL42s, that the Canadian cars have DRLs ("cause that's just what the dealers order" doesn't have anything to do with Canadian Law, I guess).

She is basically final inspection that the car has been assembled with all the right bits and pieces that someone else qualified.

She's not responsible for the EL42's problems, the memory seat problem, leather that remembers the contours of your posterior, 5AT shift strategy, SS design, etc.

She should be responsible for mismatched interior panels and poor body assembly.

41 here so I'm right in the heart of the demographic. You guys have to remember that the tires are only a MINOR problem on less then 10% of the cars. Granted, to the posters on here that are experiencing it, it's not so minor but in the overall scheme of it, it's quite minor. Now the door panels... Let's string her up!

Acura would have never allowed her to speak to the press otherwise. That's a local interest publicity article, not a news article.
