Replying to: tonid (Aug 25, 2006 2:08 pm) 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. |

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?

Well. I need some guidance. I have an 02 RSX Base Auto. I recently discovered that my exhaust camshaft is warped. The car's been out of warranty for some time now. Is there anyway I can get the dealer to replace this, considering it's a defect in the engine? Here's a pic of what it looks like.

Replying to: muc (Sep 04, 2006 12:07 pm) Could you possibly post a copy of your invoice for the windshield seal, in a reply message? This would help me out tremendously so I can finally get rid of the noise. I've had the noise since I bought the car, it sat at the dealer for 4 weeks. When I got it back they weren't sure what they did but said they fixed it. The noise has been muted since then but I can still hear it at freeway speeds. Thanks!

Replying to: nxcess (Sep 24, 2006 3:41 pm) Camshaft failure in overhead cam engines is usually related to poor lubrication or quality of the lubricants---camshafts are REALLY vulnerable at cold startups and very vulnerable to high heat engine conditions. When this car is fixed, the cam's line bore shoule be checked, and if this engine uses cam bearings, those should be replaced, and in the future you should use only synthetic oils at 5,000 mile intervals. Sorry to hear about this problem, but it seems to be getting more common with modern OHC engines. |

Replying to: ksj06rsxdc5 (Jul 09, 2006 1:12 pm) I have taken the vehicle in four times now. Each time the dealership has reported to not be able to reproduce the noise after conducting repairs. These repairs include, rotating, balancing, realigning, and adjusting the tire pressure. The last turn in, where my car is presently, they "counter rotated" my tires.... As you can see the primary focus has been on the tires, origionally I thought it may be related to my security system since it showed up the day I picked it back up from the shop. I have been able to reproduce the noise everywhere from 45 mph to 85 mph. (Typically above 65mph) The shop foreman rode with me and heard it over two types of surfaces, and the Service manager admitted to hearing it. (he initially denied hearing anything after driving it over 150 miles. I sent him a video with a good sound file and he then pointed out it was the same thing he heard) The service department is claiming they have done all they can to this point. A Honda Factory Tech will be in to the dealership next Thursday, at which time I have an appointment. (Oct 5th 2006) I have been able to record the sound with my digital camera and would be willing to share it with those people currently experiencing a similar problem. The current recording has my ownership information posted at the begining, I would need to edit this prior to sharing it. Those of you currently dealing with this, ksj06rsxdc5, rsxing, & muc, please respond to this post and maybe we can help each other out. I really like this car, except for the noise. Which even with the stereo blasting at times it will be louder than it. Right now I've given up on taking my Girlfriend out in this car until the issue is resolved. I've kept my cool up until this last service call. I've now made the General Manager aware of the issue. I don't feel like I'm getting the quality service you would expect from an Acura Dealership. I hope this will change. So I'm here to say I too have a "noise" issue which comes and goes. Thank you for posting what you have found. Any help would be great.
