#906 of 1030 Re: how is the rsx in the snow [tonid] by kated Aug 26, 2006 (5:03 pm)
Replying to: tonid (Aug 25, 2006 2:08 pm) The RSX actually isn't too bad in the snow since it is front wheel drive. I've driven mine (slowly) through snow up to 6 inches deep and done ok but it will definitely get stuck in anything deeper. It will slide around a lot if you have the factory Michelin Pilot tires though. I have the Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus and they seem to do much better.

Replying to: jdlrn (Jul 20, 2006 6:09 pm) I haven't had that problem on my RSX but on my Chevy S-10 i had some issues with the hazard light which was part of the same switch assembly as the turn signal lights. i know the hazard light for the rsx is in a different spot, but it is probably still wired together. i had to replace the whole turn signal assembly which was a real pain.
#908 of 1030 Grinding noise by juicymoose Aug 28, 2006 (5:53 pm)
I have had my 2006 RSX for a few months now and noticed a grinding noise as i am driving. i am assuming it is the brake pads rubbing against the rotors cause it sounds like just one spot on the rotor. can't tell which wheel yet. i live in an area prone to salt spray from the ocean, so it could be surface rust (i'm going to scrub them tonight to see if that fixes it). i replaced the rims so that wasn't the problem. and i had new springs put in so that isn't it either. anyway, wonder if anyone has had that problem.

Replying to: ksj06rsxdc5 (Jul 09, 2006 1:12 pm) I have recently purchased a 2006 RSX and observed a noise similar to the one being described. it happened at about 60mph. i took it to the dealer and the shop foreman rode with me and said it was the seal on the windshield and it needed replacing. I am taking it in this Friday and will let you know what happens. I did not think it was coming from the windshield, but from the engine compartment. He seemed to know the problem, however and it does make sense. he says it lifts up at the high speeds.

Replying to: hatchet53 (Jun 28, 2006 10:59 am) OK ... well there is finally a TSB out related to the front end clunking noise. It is definatley the springs and they have remanufactured new parts. I just got back from my 1st oil change at the dealer, they are ordering the springs and I'll have them installed next Friday. I'll report back my results.   If your dealership claims they don't have the TSB, here it is:   http://www.alldata.com/tsb/Acura/1155625200000_1156143600000_06-026/6026.html   Here is an invoice from someone in TX who alread had those corresponding part #'s(the springs) installed:   http://rsx.adampayrot.info/invoice.jpg   Hope this helps!

Replying to: tonid (Aug 25, 2006 2:08 pm) Since our 2003 RSX is a lightweight car with fairly wide tires, I assume it is horrible in the snow. If I drive in the snow, I am very, very careful.   Being front-wheel drive is good for traction when I am trying to move, but it won't do a thing for me if I need to stop. Since the rear of the car is very light, I assume the rear wheels could easily lock up in the snow and the car could spin out, leading to a nasty accident.

Replying to: ksj06rsxdc5 (Jul 09, 2006 1:12 pm) This is a follow up to my last note that the dealer told me the noise was due to an improper windshield seal. i took the car to the dealer and they put a new seal and this has corrected the problem to date.

Replying to: drawdef (Sep 01, 2006 10:49 am) Thanks! I'll take it with me next time I have it in for service. Getting ready for a x country trip in the the Type S, so we'll see how it does after that.
#914 of 1030 Turn signal buzzing when downshifing by overzealousrsx Sep 12, 2006 (6:00 pm)
One day my turn signals stopped flashing but the hazards kept working so I drove it to the deal and big surprise they started working again on the way. So they've worked ever since but when the engine is under load, such as being in third gear while under load i head a buzzing sound from the steering column especially from where the turn signal relay box is? Any ideas?
