| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This complaint is in reference to the bridgestone turanza el 42 tire supplied as original equipment on the 2004 acura tl. this tire is totally unsuitable for the vehicle and is unsafe for the intended conditions. although it is rated ms as an all season tire, it can not maintain even minimal traction in light snow. also, as the tread wears, it show significant tendencies to hydroplane in any amount of standing water. the flat spotting also creates distracting vibrations during cold weather. this vehicle is unsafe to drive with this tire installed, yet acura and bridgestone refuse to acknowledge or address the problem unless directed to by nhtsa. *nm |
