1992 Acura Legend LS 4Dr Sedan review from North America

"It was a lemon."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Cracked and worn leather seats.

Engine overheats.

Blown thermostat x2.

Hole in radiator.

Sprays Anti-freeze.

Short in power window wiring.

Brake problems.

General comments?

I purchased the car in Wisconsin and was moving to Pennsylvania due to being in the military. On the trip to PA the engine started to overheat. I actually had to stop in Ohio and get it checked out originally. Compression tests and coolent checks were run on the engine. The mechanic said he didn't find anything abnormal, but replaced the thermostat anyway, just in case. The diagnostics and thermostat ran me almost $150. The car started to overheat again another hour into the journey and I eventually had to stop and just give up, turns out there was a hole in the radiator. Dropped over $700 to replace the radiator and thermostat again. The car still overheats and sprays anti-freeze from somewhere in the engine. The car also now lurches, pulls and sounds like a diesel semi-truck. Roughly diagnosed per a description as possibly either a dropped cylinder or a blown gasket.

Also the ABS went out and now the brakes squeak for no apparent reason.

The window are also stuck down as well due to faulty wiring. The fuses were all checked and one door was taken apart, but I could not find the problem. So who knows whats wrong with that.

The car drove and handled well with a smooth ride, but all of the problems counter anything and everything possibly good with this vehicle.

Overall I did not like this car and would not recommend it to anyone.
