Replying to: 10a (Jul 24, 2008 5:12 pm) 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 |

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. . |

Could you please embellish about this class action suit? Do all Acura's (our's is an 03 RSX) have 100k of warranty?

2005 RSX type S with 29000 miles, driving in a 55mph zone engine starts rattling and then comes apart. Acura refuses to warranty ANYTHING! will not give me ANY specific reason. Pictures of the engine show; Piston completely melted, rod bent, hole in head and ceased main bearing. Engine had fresh oil and filter when this happed. Warranty isn't worth the paper it is written on. Acura says this would not happen under NORMAL driving conditions. No kidding! The engine is suppose to have safeguards to prevent this from happening even under stressful conditions. No wonder this car is no longer in production. The least Acura could do is meet a customer half way. This is a $10k engine replacement. They won't back a remanufactured engine. the new engine is warrantied for only 12k. What does that say for the confidence they have in their engines. My warranty is about to expire so I get a call asking me to purchase an extended warranty. check the WEB I am not he only RSX owner that has had this happen. Anyone else have an engine failure at low miles and ZERO Warranty Support? Yet another class action suit? Is it true? Acura =A CAR U Repair Allot!

My RSX ('04 Base) has 85K miles on it. I took the car to the dealership to get the driver's side window regulator checked out (window wasn't seated...real funky happenings inside that door). They replaced the regulator ($$$), but all was well......I THOUGHT! Ten days later, the problem rears it's ugly head again. Same window. The repair is warranted for 12 months/12,000 miles. I'm taking it back right away. For grunts 'n grins, I looked at various entry-level 2008-2009 cars to see how many (if any) cars were still offered with manual windows. Those old crank-em-ups are nearly extinct. I never had any problems with those, but convenience obviously dictated that power windows are the way to go on nearly everything. Replacement parts/repairs can be a real pain.
