Mar 201935000 miUS $680 | I took the car into the closest Honda dealer since the battery was totally dead. The battery had been replaced under warranty last Nov. Dealer said it was the starter and I had the starter replaced (AutoZone starter). That cost me over $700 and it wasn't the correct diagnosis. I found out what the problem was on the Acura Forum where others had the same issue. It turned out to be the HFL (Hands-Free Link) unit for my cell phone connection... it would not shut off and would cause a dead battery after several days. I took it out of the car completely since Acura wants over $500 for a new one, just the part. I had argued with the dealer service dept. the previous repair that the problem appeared to be the battery but they said it was the starter. So after returning from a trip, the car wouldn't start again. So the mechanic this time said the problem was the battery. They replaced the battery but wanted me to pay for it, even though back in November I paid for the replacement battery that was still under partial warranty. I won the argument and the 100 mo. warranted battery was replaced at no charge. So a battery and starter have been replaced, but the car wouldn't start again after another 5-day business trip. It sits in my garage. FINAL diagnosis: The culprit turned out to be the Hands-Free Link (HFL) which wasn't turning off. I removed it. Problem solved. |

It was serviced but not parts replaced. The problem is better but not resolved completely. |

Jul 201769124 miC $200 | "An electronic bug in the bluethooth module was draining the battery" Said module was disconnected as I do not use it. 1 1/2 hours charged for diagnostic and battery charge Rear left disk and brake pads replaced at half the price dealer charged two years previously. None of those dealers were able to correctly diagnose a seized caliper. So easy to compare both rear brake calipers by hand rotating the wheels once the car is jacked up! I use my car only summers, so problems pop up during the summer holiday period, and guess who's in the dealer repair shop? Junior mechanics. One scraped the finish on my front Brembo calipers with brake fluid drippings. Ahrrr! I was able to ascertain that the left rear brake caliper must be seized and wouldn't go to dealerships that has twice missed the problem, so I went to a small shop where I could observe the goings-on. As they failed to order a set of brake pads when the problem was a bad caliper, I chose not to wait around for the pads to be delivered and went elsewhere with this. |

Sep 2017106000 miUS $787 | Replaced clutch. I believe it was something in the hydraulics because of the way it acted. After accelerating hard (6,000 rpms) the next time I would push in the pedal, it would not work...but then it would the next time I pushed it in. We added clutch fluid and it worked better for a time. Then we had the whole thing replaced but I am not sure if it was worn out or if it was the hydraulics. Replaced bearing on front left (driver side). Replaced front brakes - rotors and pads. Axle broke. Decided to replace both half shafts to be on the safe side. I just had the clutch done, then this broke two days later. | ||
