Very happy... so happy i am buying a second Acura a 2010 TSX v6 w/ nav. Make sure the owner you purchase from has all their service records. Good luck on your purchase.

#5319 of 5387 Where to replace the brake pad? by jefh Aug 21, 2009 (1:43 pm)
Got a flyer from a local dealer for $199.95 per axle (I guess that means 2 ?), and flyer from Midas for $129.95. Do I really have to go to Acura dealer for brake pads or Midas (or local shops) works the same, too? What might possibly the case that I have to change rotor and the ball-points quotes for resurfacing/replacing? Thanks, Replies to this message: rvator4 (Sep 05, 2009 4:48 am)

Hi everyone, I have had my 2008 base TL for just about 11 months now and it was running fine up till about 3 weeks ago; I noticed when starting the car there was a loud chain saw like sound coming from the engine compartment and I had difficulty turning the car wheel which in turn made the sound worse; a day later I took it to my local Acura dealer and they looked the car over; there was virtually no power steering fluid left in the car and the service manager said that what was causing the sound; they refilled the fluid and the sound stop; just about a week later I started feeling a slight pull in the wheel and the sound started returning; took it back to the dealership and the power steering fluid was at low level again; the dealership put the car on the lift and couldn't find anything wrong or leaking and refilled the fluid and sent me on my way; I'm getting concerned because there is obvious a leak somewhere and this is turning into a major safety issue with the car; if I lose to much fluid the wheel will lock up and I could get into a accident; the dealership acts like nothing is wrong and seems to not want to keep the car and really get to the bottom of finding out what the problem is; if I don't get resolution with them I'll be reporting them to Acura headquarters and bringing the problem to their attention; I know there is a recall on the power steering hose for this model and I brought it to the attention of the service department and they said that they've looked at the hose and it is okay and not leaking yet they can't seem to find a leak or why within a weeks timeframe I'm losing almost all my power steering fluid; I wanted to find out if anyone has had a similar problem and if so how was it resolved?????

Replying to: smarty666 (Aug 24, 2009 10:12 am) I'd contact Acura first to report the dealer and ask for assistance, and then report the situation to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that handles vehicle recalls and let Acura know you are doing it.   Any dealer that allows any vehicle to leave its shop without finding where the fluid is going doesn't deserve to be repairing cars in my opinion.

I just got off the phone with an Acura dealer in Los Gatos. My stock rims are scraped to the point where I would like to get new rims. I am interested in getting a brand new set of A-Spec 18" chrome rims. He said that starting in 2010 these rims will no longer be available for purchase. They are discontinued items.   I have a very hard time believing this to be true. Can someone please confirm this? Or is this just wrong information like I suspect?

Replying to: smarty666 (Aug 24, 2009 10:12 am) I am a firm believer in contacting the BBB. They seem to get real quick responses since no dealer wants an unresolved charge against them. You will be amazed at the speed of the response.

Replying to: jefh (Aug 21, 2009 1:43 pm) Have you got any friends that work on cars? Find someone to help you replace the pads/rotors this first time and you will never pay to have it done again. Just be safe when jacking it up and don't crawl under the car.
