I had my RL at the local dealers for nearly 12 days. When I received my car back (mind you Im waiting on refurb of my nav unit) my car was dirty beyond belief in the interior, the type of grime that needs to be removed with an expensive interior detail. I also had damage to my rear quarter panel and the adjoining trim (it appears it was hit and they tried to cover it up by compounding it), also scratches on my trunks paint and scratches on my nav screen.

Hard to prove any of those other than the scratch on my nav screen since that was something I brought the car in for. Anyway, right now I have some of my interior lights not illuminating on my climate-control cluster. Aside from this my left license-plate light has dead bulb and I have no illumination from my heated seat controls: they light up amber when they are in high or low setting but the switches themselves do not illuminate at night when lights are on.

I also noticed that the hazard button doesn't illuminate. Im not sure it ever did. Can someone clarify whether the large hazard button illuminates? Thanks in advance to anyone. I would also like to confirm that the heated seats switches do in fact illuminate?

 

Yes, both the hazard button and the heated seat switches should illuminate.

 

Of course they illuminate. My bulbs went out in the exact same order

 

Thank you both I was almost certain the heated seats did now I know the hazard button does as well. Having said that I am quite alarmed that I take my car to the dealer and it comes back this way. I can guarantee you that all the bulbs were functioning when I brought it there. The damage to my car at this point is secondary and impossible to prove. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I took my car in for a tune-up (timing belt, water-pump, tensioner, pulleys, valve adjustment, etc) and replacement of three engine/transmission mounts (I break two every year-so fucking annoying). I also had horizontal waves on my nav screen. I went out and bought a new nav screen at the suggestion of the Acura service rep coming to the conclusion that the screen was the issue. Long story short it wasn't-it was the actual nav unit in the back (it was replaced already under warranty in 2010). They agreed to pay for the refurbishment of the unit because I ended up buying a nav screen under their advice ($377 vs Acura price of $2100).

I spoke to someone in Acura engineering department who suggested the problem with the screen was a improperly grounded wire either in the main unit or the screen. Not something that could be serviced easily. Anyway since getting my car back I have all these burnt out bulbs. Does anyone have any idea what could have happened? And what would you say to the dealer to get these issues resolved? And while Im replacing the bulbs for the climate control should I just go ahead and replace them all?

 

Im sorry to rehash this thread but I received my vehicle back today and they changed the bulbs in the dash but the hazard button still doesn't illuminate and they forgot to replace the bulbs in the passenger-side heated seats. Im noticing that the "passenger airbag" wording is staying illuminated. Not the warning light underneath it but just the passenger airbag itself. Is that normal? This dealership has already dropped the ball several times on me. They don't seem to have that much experience with RL's it seems. I would appreciate any help.

I hope the recent events in Russia doesn't leave a bad taste in anyones mouth. I am a USMC veteran I just happen to have been born in the old USSR. Thanks again.
