SH-AWD - idot light update ($8,000 solution)
Just an update to my previous post, the SH-AWD light came on again (3rd time). The dealer working with home-office, replaced all of the SH-AWD computers, Switches and wireing harnesses. They tell me the cost of this was just shy of $8,000. I have had the car back after 10 days in the shop for 2 days now, so far so good. They did an excellent job from what I can tell now. I was really concerned that this major repair would cause other issues, so far so good. BTW, this was done on a 2007 RL with jus over 2k miles on it..... Also, while the car was in the shop they got me a rental. The day I picked up the rental (Chyisler 300 Touring with 500 miles on it), the rental guy said 'WOW, your getting a heck of a rental the car is sweet. I smiled, don't think he ever drove an RL. The 300 is a nice car but not even in the same world as an RL.....

Glad it's working so far.
I agree about the 300. Not a bad loaner but I'd rather have had an MDX. Funny story related to that; My sister in law has an 06 MB S class. In the shop AGAIN this week for a power steering pump. They gave her a Chrysler 300 as a loaner. She wasn't happy
I don't think she's buying an MB next time around. Been in the shop 3 times for significant repairs.

not sure on the laws, but i'd look into it, i wouldn't want my brand new acura torn apart 3 times.

A Lemon law filing can be good for two reasons. First, to force manufacturers to step up and fix a problem they have been unwilling to address. Second, to get the manufacturer to buy back the car if you are convinced it's not repairable.
Doesn't sound like you're there yet. However, if you do get to that point, remember you loose your right to file after 24 months from purchase.
