I bought a used 2006 Acura from a private owner. I live in Cleveland, Ohio. Last winter was my first winter with the car. I researched cars and one of the reasons that I purchased the car was that they advertised all season tires. To me that meant I would not need snow tires. What I found while driving the car in the winter last year was that I consistently got stuck in snowy conditions, but not blizzards. I had to have the police push me on my street because I could not get any traction on a snowy day. All other cars passed me by. My street in level and there was only two inches of snow. My other car, a VW, never had any trouble in winter weather and that car has one set of tires for all weather. My office driveway has about a 3% incline and I could not get up that incline in any snowy weather, although every other car never seemed to have a problem. Last winter was a nightmare with the car. I learned by speaking to other Acura owners that they also had difficulties in snowy weather. I resented the fact that I needed snow tires when it was advertised with all season tires. They never said all seaon except for winter. After spending significant dollars on the car, I was not happy that they wanted to charge me $1000 for snow tires with rims. The original tires had no traction at all. When I took the car in for service in the spring, they told me that the tires still had 50% tread and didn’t need replacing. I complained about the tires and the service person acted surprised. When I was back in the fall and complained again, a different service person said that he had heard that the tires were not good for winter. No one offered to compensate me for the fact that I would need different tires, even though the ones on the car were still good, for summer anyway. This winter, not wanting to go through another nightmare, I researched tires and purchased, at my expense, new tires (Michelin Pilot Sport AS Plus). I spent $800 for tires I should not have needed to buy and didn’t expect to have this expense with this car at this time. I would like Acura to compensate me for these tires. They set an expectation that the original tires were all season-that to me means all seasons, including winter. They were not. I had to spend $800 which I didn’t expect to be able to drive the car this winter. I called the Acura dealership and spoke with Mike. He suggested I call Acura customer service (1-800-382-2238) which I did. I spoke with Mike Bogan who said there was nothing he could or would do. I asked to speak with his supervisor, who actually refused to come to the phone until I made a third request and stated that I was aware that he was unwilling to talk with me. He then came to the phone and basically told me I was out of luck and there was nothing he would do. He also said there was no one else in the entire corporation that I could speak to. When I asked if he represented the President and CEO, he said he was the final decision maker and there was no where else for me to go. When I asked him if he had any interest in customer service, he didn’t reply. The case number they gave me is: B012009-12-1800777. I was talked to politely, but stonewalled. I am not the only Acura owner with this problem. I think Acura should compensate all of us for misleading information. If this does not qualify for a class action, then I would like them to at least speak with me reasonably and make some effort to please me as a customer. Please advise as to my next step. Thank you.
