2000 Acura Integra Service and Repair Manual

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ACURA INTEGRA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, IT WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING 50 MPH. SHE STATED THAT HER SEAT BELT LOCK SYSTEM FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE SHOULDER BELT NOT TO RESTRAIN. THE LAP BELT WAS THE ONLY PART THAT PROPERLY RESTRAINED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED A CONCUSSION DUE TO HER HEAD STRIKING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS NOT DECLARED IF THE SEAT BELT WILL BE INVESTIGATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. CALIF

MY ABS LIGHT WAS ON AND I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I DID THIS MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND MY VEHICLE SLID APPROXIMATELY 6 FEET INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

THE ACURA IMPACTED THE LEFT REAR OF A PARKED FORD EXPLORER JUST AHEAD OF THE BUMPER AT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH AND ROLLED 180 DEGREES COMING TO REST ON IT'S ROOF. CONDITIONS AT THE SITE: DRY ASPHALT, RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, 7 A.M. *AK

FOR SPEEDS BETWEEN 45 - 135 MPH, THE CONSUMER HAS TO BEND AND TILT HIS HEAD TO SEE DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE SPEEDOMETER. *SLC

I OWN A 2000 ACURA INTEGRA (BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM A DEARLERSHIP IN NJ) TOWARDS THE END OF 2000. I FEEL QUITE STRONGLY THAT MANY ACURA MODELS HAVE DEFECTS WITH THEIR "SRS LIGHTS" COMING ON UNEXPECTEDLY ON AUTOMOBILES. LAST YEAR, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A CLOCK SPRING WHICH WAS REPLACED. THIS YEAR, THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS WAS TOTALLY A SHOCK TO ME SINCE I THOUGHT THAT AIRBAGS ARE USUALLY REPLACED WHEN THEY

DRIVING MY BRAND-NEW CAR HOME, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERS WERE NO HELP, THEIR POLICY "ONCE YOU DRIVE AWAY, IT'S YOU'RE PROBLEM!". I HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. THE ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON WITHOUT ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

PREMATAURE FAILURE OF ONE REAR BRAKE PAD. *AK

TWO SMALL HORN BUTTONS ARE LOCATED IN THE PERIPHERY OF THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE 3:00 AND 9:00 POSITIONS RATHER THAN IN THE CENTER AS WITH OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. AS I WAS PROCEEDING PAST A MINI-BUS THAT STOPPED IN THE LEFT HAND LAND IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE, THE BUS CHANGED LANES ABRUPTLY INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE. I BRAKED HARD, TURNED TO THE RIGHT, AND TRIED TO SOUND THE HORN. WHEN THE WHEEL WAS TURNED FROM STRAIGHT AHEAD IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE THE HORN BUTTONS WITHOUT LOOKING AWAY

I PURCHASED MY 2000 ACURA INTEGRA NEW IN JAN 2000. APPROX 2 WEEKS AGO, WITH NO WARNING, IT STOPPED CHANGING GEARS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I'M LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP LAST FRIDAY. 2 DAYS AGO THEY CALLED TO INFORM ME A BOLT HAD COME OFF INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION NOT THE BOLT!!! IT WOULD COST $2550.00 AND WOULD NOT BE READY UNTIL NEXT WEEK. I INFORMED THEM I WANTED A DETAILED REPORT ON EXACTLY WHAT HA

I PURCHASED MY INTEGRA IN 2012 WITH 75,000 MILES AND TO THIS DAY THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAS COME UNDONE MULTIPLE TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS BEING CAUSED BY A SEAT COVER BUT AFTER REMOVING THE SEAT COVER IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. *TR

I BOUGHT FOUR MICHELIN XGT-V4 TIRES. ONE TIRE DID NOT HAVE THE FOUR NUMBER DOT STAMP WHICH INDICATES WEEK AND YEAR OF MANUFACTURE. THE OTHER THREE TIRES HAD THEM CLEARLY MARKED.*AK

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLE COMES UNDONE ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH MULTIPLE PASSENGERS (~5) OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS (2003-2010). THE REPORTED DATE ON THIS INCIDENT IS THE DATE OF LAST OCCURRENCE. THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED, NO RECORDS WERE KEPT BECAUSE IT WASN'T OBVIOUS THAT THE ISSUE WAS A ONE-OFF INCIDENT DUE TO INCORRECTLY INSERTING THE BUCKLE. EACH TIME, THE BELT BUCKLE MADE AN AFFIRMATIVE CLICKING SOUND WHEN INSERTED, BUT GETS UNDONE OWN ITS OWN W

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND AND FEELS LATCHED IN APPROPRIATELY. HOWEVER, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30), IT HAS COME UNDONE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TRIED TO ATTACH THE SEATBELT AND SEE IF IT WOULD COME LOOSE. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING WAS DONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO 4 DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WEARING THAT SEATBELT, ALL OF WHOM HAVE HAD VARIOUS HONDA OR ACURA CARS FOR YEARS AND HAVE NOT PRE
