Acura TL-S bursts to flames. No surprise dealership issue(Brampton, Ont)
 

http://www.blogcdn.com/ca.autoblog.c.../tl-to-use.jpg

This was on Autoblog and the redflagdeal link below is the cars owner posting. It caught on fire because Acura 2000 just did a power steering recall and the mechanic did not tighten up the hose which lead to the fire.

Acura/Honda is doing F**K all, :failed:

Acura Tl Type S On Fire! - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

Warning:
I would strongly suggest muting your sound. You wouldn't want to hear the guy's voice....

There is not enough noise for this issue, the owner is going through his own insurance. :devil:

That guy is mirin the stock Type-S rims, lol.

^its hard not to :D

worst commentary ever.
damn that guy is annoying

actually he'll probably get more money from insurance than the trade in.

I actually investigated a fire here in Vancouver for Transport Canada where the dealer forgot to tighten the power steering line. Happens more than you think.

my accord has a similar recall :ohgodwhy:

So does mine, I went to Honda and they said they don't have parts to fix it till spring

Thank babyjesus my car wasn't part of the recall, seeing that made my heart sink

I dont think he was trading it in like the annoying Lexus salesmen commentator was stating.

It was in for a recall and the owner went to pick it up............:suspicious:

I guess I'll have to put a dashcam in for the recall LOL

TLS on fire - AcuraZine Community

Was posted on Acurazine a bit back. Owner said he got compensated with little over the value of the car, more than he would've got if he sold it himself. Don't know where you guys are getting that acura wasn't doing anything about it

On a side note; wtf is up with the guy commentatimg "Acuoorra" "Tooth-past" :lawl:

Oh shit poor guy :(

'excuse me sir, you have to open the hood' what a moron :rukidding:

Well, compensating for a little over the value of the car is not that great. It was a big mistake on their part, not fastening the hose......he could have been seriously harmed.

one time i was draining out power steering fluid out of my dads caravan and i got a ton of it on the exhaust manifold. i tried cleaning all that shit up with brake clean/ degreaser/ and a good wash but it still would smoke up as it heated up. after about 15 minutes i just gave up and went for a drive, and i could see the hood smoking and smelt terrible. I rinsed it off some more and after a long drive it finally stopped.

I thought the car was gonna go on fire :lol and i think honda just sent out that recall this month

That fucking voice...

Poor tl, not for catching on fire but for being there to witness this fuckers dreadful voice.

This 'aqura' heard this lexus guys voice and decided to kill itself.

As a TL owner, it hurts me to see that car on fire :okay:

yep. they did a "look over" to see if anything needed a temporary fix until the parts came...they said nothing was needed done.

Excellent play by play. Future in broadcasting.

-horrific sight for an Acura owner:
The dude's voice reminds a bit of Borat:
