I am trying to change a couple settings on my '07 TSX, like how long the interior lights stay on etc. Following the manual, but get Unknown Driver, Customize impossible message. I use the key fob to unlock doors before trying, manual says I will get that message when I open door with key, but using the fob so it should work. any ideas appreciated.

I've never put in over 14 gallons either, most are in the 12-13 range.

You need to program your remote. Do this by holding the "lock" and "unlock" button down at the same time. The red light on the remote will light. At that point, once you lock and unlock the door via the remote, the car will recognize your key and you can set your preferences.

Has anyone experienced a squeeking or creeking noise when they slow down / brake. I have an 2006 TSK with only 6k miles and when I brake and come to a slow stop it sounds like the shocks are squeeking... No indicator lights have come on and the brakes work just as good as the day I bought the car.

i am happy to say (knock on wood) my 06 tsx does not experience that problem (it has almost 8,000 miles on it) If you have concerns bring it back to the dealer (take advantage of the warranty)

2005 TSX rust by fdrive

Has anyone experienced rusting on the hood of 2005 TSX? I first saw rust after 6 months of ownership. It was a small stone chip that rusted out. Took it to the dealer who said that they "can't cover stone chips in the warranty". Now, after 17 months of ownership, I have 5 other rusting "chips" on my hood. I took it back to the dealer who again said that they can't cover it. I then contacted Acura who is also not cooperating; this is clearly a defect.
 
Any ideas on what to do guys??

Since when are rock chips a defect? Seriously, you think Honda should repair damage to your paint caused by road debris, winter salt, following trucks too closely, etc?
 
If you had repaired the chips when they first appeared, they never would have rusted. Fortunately, you can still fix them with a couple of products...

Use the spot sanding tool to remove the rust, then use a paint applicator to fill the chips with factory touch-up paint. I slice the felt tips off the applicator and use the remaining plastic nub to apply the paint - let surface tension fill the chip rather than trying to "color in" the chip.
 
Here's a before and after of my front bumper (the Pacific NW is terrible for rock/debris chips...)
 


 
BTW, the chips you see on the "after" photo are one's I've acquired since the repair. Like I said, the Pac NW is harsh!

Maybe you should work for the dealer; you sound just like them. It's rust.

I have put 15.9 in the tank after running waaayyy over the gauge hitting E. I have been tempted to go over 450 miles again but haven't had DH in the "chase" car available in case I screw up
