I know, I know, the door handles have a problem, lol. Well, my 2005 sensors just went out and the dealer is quoting over $300 each to replace them. What I was hoping to find out is if anyone has replaced these themselves and found a good place to purchase them for less? I saw one on eBay for about $120 but it was just the passenger side. Any leads?

Thanks!

 

I went to the dealer, ponied up the cash, and drove away.

 

$300 seems like a good deal. The handles made before '07 are obviously defective, so buying used or on eBay could be a waste of money. The dealer is giving you a brand new handle, taking your car apart for you, and warrantying their work with a price of 2/3 parts and 1/3 labor.

 

plus if you source your own parts and something fails or breaks there is no warranty

 

Dang - I suppose the dealer is the best option. I was just hoping to avoid spending almost $700 for a convenience item. Oh well, such is life. Thanks for the direction guys.

 

Heavy - is that a strip of bacon in a hair straightener? Dude, that is hilarious, lol.

 

indeed sir.

 

I took in the shorts just like you did... Pay it and play on brutha

 

same here. I just replace the driver door handle at 282 for the handle and 1 hour labour.
At the dealer, you get a one year warrently, so that give me a peace of mind

 

Yeah, I think I'll just go this route. I'll probably wait until the dealer sends me a flyer with a coupon on work or parts. They send those out a few times a year

Thanks for all the help guys!

 

Is it covered under acura care extended warranty? Because my drivers door keyless entry just stopped working

 

you have to call your company or take it to the dealer and have them call

 

Not for me - mine is a 2005

 

If your Acuracare is still in effect, then it should be a covered item under Acura care. I had my door handle replaced ( for the second time on the driver's side) under my Acuracare a few years ago. Not a problem since.

 

You know what's funny . . . mine has started to work again now that the weather has warmed up a bit. Maybe I can put this off for a little while longer

 

the problem tends to be intermittent until it totally fails

 

The problem is that sometimes when it fails, the whole system goes crazy, the alarm won't turn off even when driving, and all fob access is lost. Supposedly driving to the dealer with the alarm going is quite the experience, especially if you have to stop for gas.

 

Lol - no way, I hope I don't end up being "that guy". Wow.

 

I've been that guy.

 

ROFL! Sorry, that just creates such a mental image. I know, it wasn't funny to you at the time. Hopefully I won't be posting a story of the same thing

 

You definitely don't know me, I knew what happened from reading here and I drove it like I stole it weaving in and out of traffic.


... wait thats everyday.

 

At least this way the dealer can't say they can't replicate the issue and your car is perfectly fine!
