The plaintiff says the dealer replaced the battery for free, but the Bluetooth problem occurred two years later and then again two years after that when the Acura battery was again replaced.Īberin says she had to take the Acura to a dealer several more times because of HandsFreeLink problems until she disabled the Bluetooth system in 2016. In the Acura lawsuit, plaintiff Lindsay Aberin says she bought a new 2005 Acura TL equipped with HandsFreeLink but took the car to an Acura dealer in February 2008 seeking repairs of the HandsFreeLink Bluetooth system. The plaintiffs allege they would not have purchased their Acura vehicles or would have paid less for them if Honda would have warned customers the batteries would drain. The Bluetooth system allegedly malfunctions and fails to turn off when not in use, causing the Acura battery to drain.Īcura was allegedly aware of problems with the HandsFreeLink Bluetooth systems before owners purchased their vehicles but did nothing to repair the systems before selling the vehicles. The class action involves all consumers who purchased these vehicles in those four states. What began as a nationwide action now includes Acura customers in only four states: California, Kansas, New York and Washington. Those alleged defects cause the batteries to drain and caused the plaintiffs to allegedly suffer out-of-pocket losses and diminished the values of their Acura vehicles.
