Ok i figure here would be the best place to ask. What kinda common problems do you guys get with the motor/tranny? Any leaks? or gaskets that like to go bad? headgaskets?

Any dash peeling? fading? electronic failures?

I just wanna find out common problems so I can talk to the dealer and actually know something about the car, ive already checked and figured out that the trannys on these cars are notorious for crapping out..Not suer what years though.

 

EGR Valve insufficient flow is a major issue, the auto tranny sucks @ss, other than that she's perfect.
I still love my baby, she treats me good...sometimes.

 

Is it a common problem?

 

 

How many miles did you guys haev when it hit ya and does acura cover it?

 

60k i had to go in for it

acura takes care of some of them.. i dunno what years/vins

 

my 99 3.0 is great. I am kinda hard on her a bit, but so far it's holding up. keep in mind I've had hte car since may 14th and I haven't even put 3000 miles on it yet. Before I got my cold air intake my worst gas mileage was 16 mpg, but after I got it I've gotten 23 mpg with a pretty fair amount of highway driving. I've felt my tranny slip once or twice, but then I just changed the tranny fluid (was still stock @47k miles) and the slippage went away. just put a tranny cooler on there and it should be fine for a pretty long time. though I have noticed a few rattles here and there now that when I go WOT with my cai It shakes some stuff loose with the noise.
