#806 of 865 Re: real time traffic on 06 rl [sburke7] by jim_agnew_2 Apr 09, 2007 (8:46 pm)
Replying to: sburke7 (Apr 09, 2007 6:44 pm) I'm well aware of how the traffic and XM radio are related. In the Tampa area I get real time color coding of some of the major roads and bridges that show the traffic speed based on small radars mounted along the roadway. It is far better than news since it is automatic. The incident data is good but may be slow to update or old.   Jim Replies to this message: tamparl (Apr 11, 2007 1:49 pm)

Replying to: jim_agnew_2 (Apr 09, 2007 8:46 pm) Jim,   You certainly had an XM issue. I too am in Tampa and have had no issues with NavTraffic. It has been consistent and always available. I do park in a garage at the office, but within seconds of pulling outside, the NavTraffic is updated and is displayed.   I literally make a daily decision as to which route to take home based on the NavTraffic alerts.
#808 of 865 Keyless Remote Malfunction by veritas7 May 16, 2007 (6:53 am)
Has anyone ever had this problem???   Over the weekend my remote stopped working. I purchased my 07 RL two weeks ago and came out to my car only to find that the remote didn't work at all. I entered with the key but then I couldn't start the car. It was almost as if my settings had been erased. Earlier that day, a friend showed me how to let the windows and the sun roof down with the remote. She put the key in manually to let them back up at the same time. I don't think this would have made a difference (it's in the manual I later found out) but it's the only thing I can think of we did in terms of "tampering" with the car.   Long story short: took it in to the dealership yesterday and it was working fine. But for a least three days it wasn't. Has this happened to anyone? Replies to this message: bobrl (May 16, 2007 10:25 am) veritas7 (May 16, 2007 12:38 pm)

Replying to: veritas7 (May 16, 2007 6:53 am) I had the same problem with my 06. Took it back to dealer and had the remotes reprogrammed. At first they told me that the door handle had to be replaced, but when I asked them what that had to do with the car not starting, they couldn't give me an intelligent answer. Eventually they called back and said reprogramming fixed the problem. Replies to this message: veritas7 (May 16, 2007 12:38 pm)

Replying to: bobrl (May 16, 2007 10:25 am) Thanks, I'll suggest that. I doesn't help that when I got there the problem didn't exist anymore but I'll have them reprogram anyway. Heaven forbid I'm out of town somewhere and that happens. Luckily my brother was able to bring me the other working remote.
#811 of 865 Re 02RL Creaking Front End by ticker2 May 24, 2007 (9:19 am)
My 02 RL has 80k miles and has been a great car(my third Acura)but has one annoying noise problem. For the past two years, the combination of summer heat(+80 degrees) and about 40 minutes of driving results in a loud creaking or popping sound coming from the front. I can actually feel it traveling up the steering column. It seems to be weight bearing related as it makes noise when the weight of the car shifts forward when stopping and when I shift my weight exiting the front door( even when the engine is off). The dealer has checked it out several times without a solution. They acknowledge the noise but have no idea what is causing it. Has anyone had a similar problem or can recommend a solution?

#812 of 865 Cigarette lighter fuse by islagypsy Jun 10, 2007 (10:35 am)
I think I have a blown fuse for a 2002 RL. I have checked each fuse (under hood and under dash) and can't find a blown fuse. I called Acura and the local dealers and they have not been able or willing to help.   I thank anyone who can help. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 10, 2007 11:29 am)

Replying to: islagypsy (Jun 10, 2007 10:35 am) The cigarette lighter might have an in-line fuse as well. A wiring diagram would show this.
#814 of 865 06 RL, knocking felt Through Steering Wheel by tizer Jun 11, 2007 (2:48 pm)
I have had my 06 RL for 8 months and have been very happy with the car except for an intermittent problem where there is a knocking noise heard and felt through the steering wheel.(sounds and feels like something is rubbing) It never happens when I drive the car in the morning after it has been sitting overnight. Usually happens in the afternoon and is felt more at slow speeds when turning or driving over speed bumps such as where I live. I took it to the dealer and they drove it and acknowledged the problem, but when I dropped the car off the following week this time they could not duplicate the problem..Not something they have seen before, or Acura is aware of either they say. The dealer checked suspension bushings and lower steering components and everything is ok there as well as removing the steering column cowling in the car. It does not feel like the bushings are worn-car only has 9,000 miles and I have had Mercedes where the bushings have worn and that felt more like a "front end" problem where this is more coming up the steering column. The dealer is trying to be helpful and said they would try again if I leave the car wih them. I am just waiting to see if it gets worse so there will be a better chance of duplicating the problem when the dealer has the car. The hardest thing is it is an intermittent problem. After the dealer could not find anything and i picked up the car and it drove 300 miles before the problem returned. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: tizer (Jun 11, 2007 2:48 pm) Did they check the front brakes? I seem to recall a post from someone who had their RL brakes adjusted or tightened, which eliminated some rattling that was emanating when the car hit a road irregularity. Not sure if this is your issue, but I suppose it's possible that such a rattle may be heard and felt through the steering column?   Someone else posted this but I don't recall who it was.   Good luck.
