"A good dealer, like Park Avenue, will do the TSBs without charge. Some members have mentioned dealers that don't seem to keep up with the TSBs (or don't want to).

I don't know what the exact policy is (from Acura to the dealer), but some folks here have had good luck getting the items you mentioned fixed (without cost and hassle)."

Q1. In 2005 for those of us who did not buy an etended warranty, what is happening with TSBs work and pay at dealerships?

Q2. How 'bout those who did by an extension?

Here is the NHTSA site with updates. They give basics, details only for $$$:

This is a GREAT question. I am curious as well since my warranty has expired.
