Replying to: ljm2043 (Oct 16, 2006 5:40 pm) I'm bringing my car to the dealership on 10/30, they have to fix the clunking noise in the springs and first oil change. I live in New York, and its getting cold here too, but my car does it all the time, it didn't do it when I first bought it, but its getting worse. So I should be able to tell if it works.

Replying to: sittingduck (Sep 27, 2006 9:47 pm) It appears that I have the exact same problem that you have. I purchased my 2006 Acura RSX (automatic transmission) in late June 2006 and shortly thereafter, I began hearing a squealing/whistling noise coming from the passenger side after exceeding 65 mph on the highway. I took the car to the Acura dealer, and they decided that I needed a new power steering pump. After replacing the part, the noise persisted. This time, I insisted on taking a diagnostic ride with a technician, who heard the noice, and decided that I needed a new speedometer. They replaced the speedometer. After replacing the speedometer, the noise persisted. On the third trip to the dealer, I had another technician ride in the car. This time, they decided that it seemed like the noise was coming from the passenger side (which I told them all along). After inspecting the car, they decided that the problem was that a piece of insulation came loose from the passenger side strut. After this third attempt, the noise abated for about a week, but then popped up again. I took car to the dealer for a fourth time, and they decided to replace both struts. Yesterday, I was finally able to take my car up to highway speeds, and the noise was produced.   I decided to research California's "lemon law," and found that if the dealer is unable to fix the problem within a reasonable number of attempts, a buyer is entited to a replacement vehicle or a refund, minus a reasonable charge for usage. I am a law student and my father is an attorney, so we decided to write a demand letter to Acura.   It's good to know that I'm not the only one with this problem.

Replying to: ryc26 (Nov 19, 2006 2:18 pm) Hi,   I had the same problem and the dealer (Radley in VA) diagnosed it as an improper windshield seal. They resealed it and I have not had problems since. See messages 922 and 923 for more detail.

#942 of 1030 Stolen Engine Control Module (ECM/ECU) – 2003 RSX Type-S by chipi Dec 04, 2006 (10:48 am)
I have a 2003 RSX Type-S. I live in San Francisco, CA.    I was shocked in March of 2006 to find that the engine control module (ECM) was stolen out of my RSX. The car was parked in my driveway. What was confusing was that the alarm of the car never alerted me to the theft and there were no visible signs of break in or damage to the exterior of the car. I did not understand how the thieves were able to bypass the alarm system of the RSX. I called Acura Customer Care to express my concern about this apparent vulnerability. There was nothing that they could offer me to assist me in preventing this type of theft from happening again.    I forgot about this incident until the morning of December 1, 2006 when I discovered that once again the ECM had been stolen from my car while it was parked in my driveway (I have no garage). Once again I turned to Acura Customer Care to try and help me prevent this from happening a third time. And once again I was left with no confidence that this type of theft can be prevented.    This type of theft has become so common in the San Francisco bay area that the parts department at Acura of Serramonte has now started to stock the ECM. So this problem is not mine alone to bear.    I have done some research on this problem and I have my hypothesis on how the thieves might be gaining access to the interior of my RSX.    I believe that the thieves could have a "jiggle" key which allows them to open the car door and bypass the alarm. Alternatively, they could have a master key or perhaps they are able to pick the door lock of the car.    Lastly, it is conceivable (but less likely to me) that they have intercepted and stolen the RF code from my keyless entry fob and then programmed this code into a fob of their own.    I am unable to come up with any plausible strategies to counter any of the above methods for bypassing the RSX alarm system.    So my question to the forum users are this:    1) Have any of you experienced a similar kind of break in to your RSX?    2) What are your thoughts on how these thieves may be bypassing the RSX alarm system?    3) What ideas do you have to prevent this from happening again?    While I love this car, if this should happen to me a third time I will have no choice but to sell it and get a car that would be less likely to suffer this kind of unwanted attention.    Thank you for any assistance or expertise you can provide on this most upsetting subject.    Sincerely,    Chip Isaac Replies to this message: themayneski (Dec 13, 2006 6:40 pm) libertybell (Dec 30, 2006 1:43 pm) tetrismasterj (Jan 02, 2007 9:08 pm) speed_loc (Jun 11, 2009 2:51 am)
#943 of 1030 Need some advice on my acura by maverick358 Dec 09, 2006 (12:28 pm)
I own a 03' acura with a stick shift. It was doing fine until recently. Now-a-days it does not perform well. When I try to accelerate, the RPM goes up but my car does not pick up speed at all and if i drive for more than an hour, I can smell burnt rubber or plastic smell from the engine. I am not sure what this is. If any one knows what this problem is about, plzz plzz plzz reply....thanx Replies to this message: 2006rsx (Dec 09, 2006 3:08 pm)

Replying to: maverick358 (Dec 09, 2006 12:28 pm) I would guess that your clutch is slipping. Does the car have a lot of miles on it and/or do you race it?

Replying to: chipi (Dec 04, 2006 10:48 am) I also have a type-S 2003. The details of your post are exactly the same as what has happened to me. EVERYTHING, even the discussions with Acura are the exact same. The only difference in my story are the dates. Once about three months ago, and then again last Thursday the seventh.   Scot
