bad propeller shaft center support bearing

 

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!!!

 

Scratch that on the mirrors, realized im an idiot... sorry. Once I can edit my post I will take that part out. Very sorry.

 

Great Informations and thank you for taking the time to do what you do in helping out this community!!!

 

didn't this thread used to be "sticky"?

 

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.
