i haven't had my car that long but i have recently started having issues . When i was leaving work last week my car wouldnt start so i said no big deal got a jump and everything was all good.

Then i went to a training for my job and parked my car in the garage left it for 8hrs. When i went back to pick it up the garage attendant said my car wouldnt start at all . This time when i tried to start the car everything started flickering and i had to get another jump

I'm going to the dealership tomorrow so they can check it out. I hope it's not nothing major and hopefully be covered by the extended warranty i purchased

What do you guys think it is ???????

look under the hood, take off battery cover and check if all the wires are connected tight, it might be a loose wire or a bad battery.

Mine did the same thing. I could jump it twice but the third time it would even start while jumping. It was my battery. Hope this is your problem. Not to expensive and living in NY better now than a cold night in January. The battery seem to last about three years. An Acura mechanic told me with all the electronics on the car that was their life expectency.

You should get the battery checked the first time it didn't start.

Let your boy know, if you are driving it after a jump the alternator is working.

Not sure what year your car is and if it's still under warranty, but Acura covers their batteries for 4yr/50K miles. But I think they changed that recently. Mine was replaced free after 3 years of service.

Battery issues are a dime a dozen in this forum. It is almost comical how freaked out people get.

This is common with the 2G RL. Glad you got it solved.

Since we're on a battery issue. Can I ask you guys what battery size the RL is? 24 Right? 24-F, 24 FS? It seems size 24 has multiple sub sizes. Can anyone confirm for sure?

Acura's warranty on the original battery is 4yrs/unlimited mileage.
