| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a dealer-certified used 2005 acura tl with new, dealer-installed bridgestone turanza el42 tires. in my first experience driving the vehicle in rain, i nearly lost control of the vehicle at 60 mph when i hit a shallow standing water (~1" deep) in the roadway. being a front-drive vehicle, i was very surprised to feel the front tires distinctly hydroplane and cause me to almost lose control of my vehicle. these tires only have 2,000 miles on them and i find their lack of hydroplaning resistance to be well below normal expectations and therefore distinctly dangerous. *tr |
