Well went to Acura Today to harass/check up on the car...it was in a different parking spot at least... so im sure it was B.S. whatever, honestly as long as I get it back and dont pay for anything ill be happy...supost to get it back by Friday...so figure ill get it that morning...Full Detail and Icelink install...and then drive for a few days strait lol

Maybe i should of asked them to make it into a 6MT while there at it... lol .. 3 days to friday

As a TSX early adopter (April 03) and having only 800km's left on my warranty, this thread is making me

I'll never buy a first year vehicle again.

Good luck MemRheins, I hope everything works out for you.

Smart Ass.

I can only speak for myself but my TSX has been nothing but a PITA. Hopefully nothing else breaks but it wouldn't surprise me. My Integra and Civic before it were flawless.

I too have been to the dealer too many times for an Acura, but so far just for rattles. My 2000 Dodge was solid...

Glad everything went fine, as far as the replacement, but I hope this issue isn't correclated with the subtle whirring noise when accelerating.
