Description of the problem | I leased a 2015 acura tlx v6 9-speed automatic transmission on saturday, january 3, 2015. Today i discovered that there is a recall for this car (based on the vin) and that in december 2014 honda motor company issued a stop sale order on this model. How was the dealership allowed to lease this car to me if a stop sale order was issued by the manufacturer? Are they required by law to disclose any recall notices before selling or leasing a car? I would also like to complain about the reflection of the air vent grill in the side view mirrors. It is very distracting. I have owned six acuras since 1988, been a loyal customer of this particular dealership (2 purchases and 2 leases) since 2000 and am beyond disappointed with this vehicle. I feel that i've been completely conned and taken in by an extremely slick and false sales pitch. I've had such great experiences with acuras that it never occurred to me to doubt their word. To now discover that there is something technically wrong with the vehicle that may impact my safety and the safety of others, that the dealership should have been aware of this defect and recall notice, and did not inform me of such is reprehensible. |
