Update on my previous post

No power steering, No AC and limped the car back to the dealer approx 1 mile. Luckily I made it just in time to drop off the car. The dealer will check it out on Monday. Is there anything I should be worried about besides expecting just replacing a belt?

Thanks

The service manager said that he has never seen a drive pulley split in two. He says the pulley is pressed together but has never seen one come apart. Just a heads up to everyone out there. All work was covered with the warranty.

Had my RL since December 2008, and now i'm tired of all the set backs the car has. Now the door wont lock/unlock with me inserting my key. The sensors on the handle dont work as well as the lock actuator. Might consider trading it in soon.

I just recently bought a used 2005 RL and have allready been noticing a few lil things myself. When reversing sometimes I get my driver side mirror adjusting and sometimes I get the passenger side mirror moving. Luckily they both return to there original position. Another thing that happened was a quick drive to the store, the A/C wouldnt kick on. Came outta the store and all of the sudden started working again. Done this a couple times now.

Anyways, gonna see if I can research the mirrors and will probably go have the A/C checked out cause the lil ladies need there A/C!!!

According to Acura of Las Vegas, the battery is only covered for the time under the manufacturer's warranty. So even though my battery was less than a year old since I was out of manufacturer's warranty, it was worthless.

Just had a replacement battery replaced under warranty for my '04 MDX. I[m pretty sure the battery warranty is independent of the car warranty. I'd try another dealer.

Replacement Battery Limited Warranty

This warranty applies only to
replacement batteries obtained from
an Acura automobile dealer in the
United States, Puerto Rico, or the
U.S. Virgin Islands.

Time and Mileage Period

Replacement batteries are covered
by a 100-month (8 years and
4 months) limited warranty.

Warranty Coverage
During the first 36 months
(3 years) of service, a defective
replacement battery will be replaced
at no cost for the new battery, labor,
or installation.

For the remaining 64 months
(5 years and 4 months), you receive
a credit toward the purchase of the
battery. This credit is based on the
then-current retail price:

• Months 0 to 36: 100 percent
• Months 37 to 45: 60 percent
• Months 46 to 55: 50 percent
• Months 56 to 65: 40 percent
• Months 66 to 75: 30 percent
• Months 76 to 85: 20 percent
• Months 86 to 95: 10 percent
• Months 96 to 100: 5 percent

The battery is warranted for the time
remaining in the 100 months of the
Replacement Battery Limited
Warranty. No cash reimbursement
will be made. You are responsible
for the labor or installation charges
