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.

My 2002 RSX has a hatchback that won't unlock. At first it would still work when it was cool, but now will not unlatch at all. I have looked at the lock from the inside, but can't figure any way to get it to unlatch. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any ideas how to get it to unlatch? It won't work with the door unlock or the remote. Thanks in advance. |

Hi I have a 2003 RSX-S and I have a problem that started a long time ago but seems to have gotten much worse recently. Before, I would be idling or driving around a parking lot and after some time of doing that my check engine light would come on and I could hear something that sounded like it was clicking on and off pretty rapidly and my air would not blow as cold. The light would stay on for a few days at a time and during this time my car would feel like it had alot more torque but I could still here the on/off noise that sounded like maybe the A/c fan clicking on and off. After a day or so, the light would turn off and all would be back to normal but the car felt like it had much less torque. Now, the light stays on constantly. I still hear the clicking noise, my air does not blow as cold, AND my car shuts off randomly. Usually when I have the clutch in and am turning corners which can pose a major problem when the steering locks up. When this happens I just turn the key so the car goes back on but it usually happens again soon after. It does not make any noise when shutting off and the car does not jolt or anything that would signal a shut off. If it does it once in a trip it usually does it a few more times that trip. But it will also go days without shutting off even while the check engine light remains on. I had a diagnostics test run on it and a few codes came up for the O2 sensor and a couple other electrical things. I just want to know if this has happened to anyone else and if it went away with a replacement of the O2 sensor before I go and spend the $300. Thanks!
