Description of the problem | The car was leased in november, 2015. After three weeks the exhaust system started filling up with fluid. Loud noises emanate from the muffler and if you floor the accelerator, fluid comes spewing out of the left exhaust pipe in buckets. The car was returned to the service department repeatedly and they could not repair the problem. They blamed my driving habits as the cause of the problem since i only use the car for local driving. The fluid builds up every three days even if you continue to floor the accelerator to empty the system and the noises from the exhaust system begin about 5 to 10 minutes after starting the vehicle. Fluid is constantly emitted from the exhaust pipes even with emptying the system. This is my sixth acura and i never experienced such a problem. I have contacted the dealership and the manufacturer to no avail. I am concerned that my wife and i are in danger of ingesting toxic exhaust fumes that are not properly being removed by this faulty exhaust system. |
