A couple of things, last night when I came home, one of my head lights on my 2 week old car was out, I turned the lights off and back on and it came on for a second then sort of blinked out, did that again and it came on as normal?? Has not seemed to re appear.

My Stereo particularly the CD player Changer - when playing cd's (store bought brand new) I get this buzzing sound, almost like the sound you hear when changing a stations (buzz buzz a buzzza buzz to be scientific).


Finally, I have a Antharcite color car and their is very obvious acid rain damage on the trunk hood and roof (pitting). I took it to a professional detailer who said he could not get them out with out using aggresive compounds and he didn't want to since it was a new car, the dealer should take care of it. He recommended getting it re-painted..or letting them try getting them out...What route should I go here? I read the acura paint process is pretty complex, on a repaint am I going to get some slap job??? Should I let them try first (they already tried on the trunk and while better I can still see some obivous pitting).

 

The headlight thing does not sound normal. If it hasn't happened since, I'd keep a close eye on it. Otherwise back to the dealer with it.

I don't have that buzz with my CD player. When the discs are changing, I can hear that.

What have you tried on the acid rain spots ? What did the dealer do ? I'd try a few things first myself before getting the car repainted. Surprised that the detailer didn't come up with a #. Any polishes ?
Have you tried distilled white vinegar and water ? Be careful, it is acidic, so you do not let it sit there. Just be sure to wash and hose down the car extensively. It may smell like a pickle a little after.

 

Didn't do anything -

 

TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. This is a NEW car, let them deal with it. Did you inspected your care before you sign? Pitting, assuming that that's really what it is, don't occur overnight.
The stereo: You should have no buzz coming from it whatsoever.
The HID: It's possible that you have a loose connection or the ballast (they don't call it a ballast but that's what it is) is bad or going bad.
Like I said, take to the dealer.

 

after they detailed, it was only after I got it home in the garage that I saw all the water marks and then upon closer inspection saw they were deep.

Dealer it is, I have a list now. Service was supposed to call me this morning - gee no call....

I am going to call my salesman and insist it all be taken care of.

thanks!

 

Don`t waste no time take it back with a HIT LIST!

 

The buzz from the stereo may be your cell phone. If you keep it in the tray between your seat heaters, it may cause interference.

 

I keep that in my pocket -
