ABS system defective at 80K, had to be replaced.
Master cylinder defective at 80K, had to be replaced.
Driver's power window slowed to a crawl.
Front suspension wore out prematurely.
A/C blows warm air, dealer has not isolated the problem yet.
Driver's seat memory is buggy.
Power door locks/remote system is buggy.
This car is very comfortable.
The car always starts, in any weather, and is very reliable transportation.
Until about 80K, was economical to own; however even with noted problems it costs a fraction to operate compared to a German car.
Acura did provide assistance in out of warranty matters on occasion.
Just curious since this was submitted in April 2001 if the individual ever had the air conditioning problem resolved. I am experiencing the exact same problems with my '91 Acura Legend and the dealer also can't figure out the cause. Any insight here would be really valued!
Thank you!
I have an Acura Legend with a little over 98000 miles and it gives me no trouble at all, even if it is getting up there in miles and years. The only thing is I hear noises from the catylictic converter that makes a clicking like sound. but this is only once in a while or so. Year is 1990.
Same situation here... the AC is blowing warm air - the dealer said that it is because of a major leak on one of the hoses - but they are not for sure yet... I as well hear ticks and clicks coming from the catalytic converter...
The driver's side power window went out - but fixed it easily... all I had to do is tighten the bolts that hold the motor and is now like new!...
Cigarette lighter has to be held till it pops, because if not, it pops all the way to the back seat!! But overall this is the greatest car I ever had :)
I had the same problem with the converter. Simple solution is to get the heat shield cut off. Or if you know someone that'll do it, cut the whole damn thing off, it's good for nothing but giving you less horse power anyways.
ABS system defective at 70K.
Driver's power window slowed to a crawl since 75K.
Front suspension wore out prematurely at 60K.
Driver's seat memory is buggy since 30K.
Driver's side power door lock defective and sets off alarm.
Car hood strut unable to keep the hood open at 70K.
<hr><marquee><b>1991 Acura Legend L series</b></marquee><hr>my legend has almost 223000 miles and it's still running <u>great</u>. I've added reverse glow EL gauges, blue under-car neon lights, 1000watts of sub-woofers, lowered 2", shaved handles, and a glossy paint job.<p>I've had the "slow to crawl" window problem too, but spraying heavy duty silicone spray into the window track between the weather seals then using a standard screw driver with a rag wrapped around the end sweep the dirty debris from between the track and all is wonderful again, (thanks to a $2 bottle of silicone.) <hr>
Well I just bought my first honda aka 91 acura legend today I realy don't like them that much sice they are so hard to work on. it seems to have A lot of power just not off the line.
For the A/C problem see the other posts in this section... Seems replacing a cracked pc board under passenger seat cure it - ther's supposed to be a TSB on this.
On the last comment. That is not true. I Own a 1991 Acura legend sedan and they are not hard to work on. about the only problem I have had with it is the Master Cylinder goes out from time to time. I've had it replaced and it was not even hard to get to so learn how to work on cars and it won't be hard.
I have a '91 Legend LS, bought used with 119,00 miles
1) Shifty weirdness, but only at odd times, seems to wamt to be a manual?
2) auto windows slow down, yes, but w/lubrication, seem better
3) I CANNOT get the rear windows to go down, tried all manual overrides?
4) air conditioning, same as everyone else, but not really important to me
5) alarm/lock system... sometimes just starts honking, passenger side does the "I go up, I go down" lock, I have had to chauffer my passengers from the back seat!
6) want to know more about radiator, and ABS probs
7) brake light problem same as other post, it still works, who am I to gripe?
8) speedometer, yes today, tomorrow, she lies flat
9) also, stereo issues, boyfriend bought new stereo, speaker/power cuts in and out, any solutions?
