1990 Acura Legend LS review from North America
"A reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake callipers (front brake pads were wearing unevenly).
Radiator cooling fans.
Ignition switch tumbler.
Normal 100K+ stuff including: alternator, CV boots, hoses & belts (Arizona heat)and hood supports.
General comments?
Overall this has been a great car for us so far. The only real complaints I have are that the automatic transmission shutters at 30mph if you are just lightly accelerating (I think it may be a design flaw because it feels like something reasonates as this speed only).
The other complaint is the engine is packed in there so tight that it can be very difficult to replace parts.
