wont come out of park by hudpd33
Jun 09, 2008 (10:13 am)

I have a 02 RSX, it will not come out of park unless I use the key in the hole next to the shifter. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so, what will fix it with the exception of using the key every time to get it out of park?

The problem is most likely with the brake switch. If the switch doesn't sense that you have your foot on the brake, it will lock the shifter. The switch is easy to replace, but when I had the problem(2002 RSX) I just took it apart and found that it was a little gunky. I cleaned it, did not lubricate it, and put it back in. It has worked fine for almost 2 years now.
If you live in the San Jose area, I will be happy to help you for a very small fee,
$25, a case of good beer, or something similarly creative..

Wont go into 4th gear/Window problems 03 RSX by utbboy

I recently bought a 03 RSX with about 55,000 miles on it. I have been driving it for about a month now and it goes into every gear except 4th. When you try to shift into 4th gear it feels like there is something blocking it. It started doing this while I was driving. I went to go put it into 4th gear and there was alot of resistance. When I took it out of 4th it would not go back in. Anyone have any ideas of what this could be?
 
Also I was driving to work the other day with the windows down and when I went to roll them up the passenger side window rolled about half way up and then I heard a loud noise (like somebody had thrown something at my car). The window then slowly went down into my door and will not roll back up. Any ideas on what this could be?

Sounds like teh motor and/or regulator on the power window. I had the regulator go bad on a vehicle and barely got the window up and closed where it could stay until I got them fixed.
 
And just so you're braced for it, power window repairs are usually on the pricey side
 
Here's hoping you get a break and it's something simple.

Whirling Noise when pedal released by 10a
Jul 24, 2008 (5:12 pm)

I want to know if there is anyone out there who is experiencing the same problem as me. I have a 05 RSX. A month ago, I started hearing this whirling noise when I release my foot from the gas pedal 35mph. This whirling noise is very obvious when the car slows to around 35 to 30mph but the whirling noise can be heard at higher speeds too. This noise also gets louder when the car runs warm. If the car is placed in neutral while decelerating, that whirling "woe woe woe" noise is also there. My dealer says that maybe it's due to the transmission fluid, but I changed it and used Honda dealer brand. Has anyone encountered this before? Anyone know what the problem is?

when the clutch pedal is pedal is released in my 03 rsx type s it somewhat has a whirling noise when idiling will exp. in 2nd paragraph.and also around 35 to 50. I recently had my clutch replaced and the throwout bearing was not replaced . because the car only has 40k miles the dealer said it was not needed to be done yet but it is something that should be changed when the clutch is replaced. so that is most likely your problem. the more you hit vtec and drive it rough the louder it will get... I hope that I have solved your problem.
 
to see if its your throwout bearing park the car on level ground or put the ebrake on, turn off all systems sterio a/c etc.. , then start the car keep the clutch pedal on the floor and listen too how it runs. then release the clutch and if it gets louder than its the throw out bearing,also you can hear the difference when you rev the engine with the clutch in or out with it pushed in its runs very smooth and sounds good, with the pedal out it will be alot louder and not sound that great

Strut Noise-2008 by nrelich
Sep 01, 2008 (11:01 pm)

I have 75K and for 2 months an increasing creak in the struts.
The bearing plate was replaced by my local garage, as Acura said it would not be covered by warranty because the Koni's weren't factory. . Noise was the same. Because of Koni Sport Shocks, the dealer wants another $180.00 to figure out if it is a warranty problem. The first look was $60.00 with no conclusion. There were posts in 2006, but no description of what parts are involved with front end noises. and what was the actual fix. The struts were pulled from an "S" car, so they have only mileage from 2006 with the Koni's, the first set installed by them in Kentucky. There was a factory defect, so they have been changed a second time.. I am reluctant to give them the rest of the money, and then they tell me its not under warranty, and want more money to put it all back together if its not covered. I still have the original struts also, but one of them had a leaking "damper". I have about 27K left on the warranty due to the class action suit
about incorrect speedometer readings on a leased Honda car.
