Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is a near miss problem. we own an acura tl 2004. it has terrible blind spots. i think that the problem arises because the bars with the air bags in them are so wide that they can hide an entire car. we have had to add develop extra mechanisms to anticipate possible vehicles, and i feel much less safe driving this car than any other car i have ever driven. also, the hvac system is so complex that it is virtually impossible to manage it while driving. i hope you will start to look to see if you see a higher incidence of problems with the acura's or other vehicles with broad air bag holders and complicated heating and ac systems. *jb
