Takata recall:my car is under the takata recall. When i contacted my local dealer, they informed me i had to bring the car in first and then they would issue an ron so a rental car could be obtained. They said i could then take my rl home and park it in the garage until the parts were obtained. Since i bought the car at the dealer, they have serviced it, and i received an official safety recall notice from acura, why am i required to make a 40 mile round trip in a vehicle that acura admits driving the car can cause serious injury or death. It seems the dealership can simply supply the ron over the phone. Or am i missing something here?

Note: 2009 acura not yet available on "pull down" menu- so i listed 2008....entering divided highway on "cloverleaf" entry, approx 38 mph, approx 4/5 of curved entry driven, car (2009 acura rl) began to fishtail, removed foot from accelerator, problem got worse, braking and steering ineffectual, "sh" handling, crash avoidance systemsprecluding driver initiated attempts or allowing driver tobring car under control. Resulting in damage in collision with guard rail, front and rear.manufacturer has performed "investigation" and carefully examined car/ downloaded computer "historic" info and says up to oem spec/ design. I say there is still a problem that needs to be addressed. I hope a recall is issued or changes made before serious injuries occur 2009 acura rl
My wife drives a 2008 acura rl. We live in las vegas, nevada. My wife noticed gas fumes inside the passenger cabin last summer (2009) and again this summer (2010) on hot days to the point she would become ill.i could smell strong gas fumes after she park the rl in the garage last summer (2009) and this summer (2010) on hot days.nothing was done last year (2009) because we were told there was no repair to the problem.this summer (2010) she drove the rl to our local acura service department and the staff at the service department also noticed the smell of gas fumes inside the car. After the inspection we were told that this was normal due to our summer heat here in las vegas. The afternoon temperature was around 107 degrees. The service manager said that he could fix the problem with his own type of repair, he said that was not an official repair from acura.the problem with the gas fumes inside the car seems to have been fixed by the local service managers repair but on hot days we still smell strong gas fumes in our garage.we were told verbally from acura to park the rl outside and not in the garage on hot days if we smell gas fumes coming from the rl.i asked acura to put that in writing if that was acura?s position, acura refused to put anything in writing regarding gas fumes and our acura rl.
