The parasitic drain of the HandsFreeLink system strains the electric system of Acura vehicles, hastening failure of the battery and other essential components in the vehicle, particularly the alternator. The company stated that they “hink the HandsFreeLink system is the most effective, most convenient hands-free vehicle phone system available.” Those who have had their car battery fail on a cold winter’s day are quick to disagree. Since 2004, Honda has been offering the HandsFreeLink system that has allowed consumers the safety and convenience of hands-free dialing and talking.
There are many other plaintiffs from other states who share similar storiesĪcura is the luxury name marque of Honda, which has sold vehicles in the United States since 1969. At the University Place Tire Center in 2016, she discovered that the HandsFreeLink system was the true culprit and disabled this feature that originally attracted her to the vehicle. The mechanics replaced many parts including lights, batteries, headlight inverters, ignitors, starters, and door locks without realizing that the HandsFreeLink system was the true issue. In the time period from Februto November 20, 2015, Aberin brought her vehicle into certain California and Washington Acura dealerships for battery-related issues. At the time of purchase, she did not realize that her new hands-free calling system was defective. She was attracted to the Acura brand because of many luxury features, including the HandsFreeLink system. Plaintiff Lindsay Aberin is currently a resident of University Place, Washington but she purchased her 2005 Acura TL on January 21, 2005, in Van Nuys, CA. The replacement of the system costs consumers approximately $1,000 and it is not guaranteed to be void of the original problem, leaving many customers to opt out of the feature they initially paid for. The plaintiffs in this case allege that this defect with the system is a constant drain on the battery system of many Acura vehicles, causing the battery to die which prevents the car from starting.
