Description of the problem | On my 2016 acura tlx i have a problem with the seat plastic trim that breaks every other year and for multiple other owners it happens every 9 months. This is a big problem when you want to adjust the seat you can put your fingers in the whole and cut your fingers. I am outraged why no recall is done by this point where multiple owners have this problem starting 2015 untill 2019 from what i see on multiple forums and i have the link to all those forums if needed. I went to acura dealership and they fixed at no cost when the car was in warranty but now my car is not in warranty and they do not want to fix it for less than $460. I am not paying $460 for a fake premium car when this is not my fault but a design flaw because they placed a metal piece right under the plastic trim. Please help me if you can or direct me to someone that can help. |
