Who's over 160,000 miles
Well my car just reached 163,000 miles last week and I just wanted to know who here has alrdy reached that and what problems have you encountered. I already ahve a few problems that im leaving as is right now, gotta wait till i get some money to get it fixed. But what can I expect after 160,000 miles. Any help would be nice. We had our transmission replaced at around 90,000 but i think im alrdy having problems with it but am not sure. My axle is a ltl messed up also. And im still on stock timing belt. Other than that everything else is good as of right now. I know dont scream at me for the stock timing belt ill get that replaced eventually.

2001 CL-S bought march 2000 with 170,000 Miles..
on my 4th transmission / 2 under warrenty 3rd i just had rebuilt ( I had extended warrenty to 100k ) Had a engine mount and both tranny mounts go, trunk latch broke and cd's got stuck in radio..2 coil packs went bad causing engine mis-fire codes..
I re-did the whole suspention at 150,000 cuz it was making ALOT of clunking noises..
4 new shocks/ lowering springs / polyurethane front sway bar bushings / progress rear sway bar w/poly bushings / Moog sway bar links front and rear..
Rotors warped too many times to keep track , just got NSX calipers up front to see it that helps a little but with 170K miles all these problems are expected except the tranny!

Ohh yea i forgot my rotors are warped too. Also i had the a/c problem. I had all my mounts replaced like last year too. This car is running pretty strong. I just hope it would last me another 2 years with no major problems and I would be happy ahha. But i somehow doubt that

Dude our original tranny was always good but we had it changed at the dealer at like 90k cause my parents were afraid it my crap out on us. And now i think this transmission is alrdy carpping out. I think some gears may be grinding or something. And it only has like 60-70xxx miles on it. The original was in great condition

172k miles here. Tranny replaced under warranty at 69k. Only thing i've done is change both axles, one coilpack, starter, and regular maintenance. Still drives like it did the day I bought it if not better.

Did anyone over 150K do a valve adjustment?
Some people say to do it some say why waste the money if the valves are not ticking.
My engine is not ticking or any noise comming from the valves so I do not think I sould do it..
Fstty do u ever adjust your valves?

135,000 here, list of problems I've had? Let me start.
4 transmissions
Heat/Ac replaced
Driver said window motor went out
Window washer don't work
rear door handle broke
There are a couple other things I'm forgetting, but sounds like you've had great luck with yours!

266xxx here, on second transmission (replaced original last September at 227xxx)
Have also replaced motor mounts, passenger ballast, Evap Canister, and cleaned EGR passage twice since I got it with 150k miles.
Navigation screen has a dot the size of a dime on it, so I guess it's on its way out.

Im also on my forth transmission, 3 went bad... Acura was VERY secrative with replacing transes there is really no record anywhere except for the actual DLR that replaced IT so if you bought your car pre-owned you really have no idea what transmission your car is on. when i was at the DLR recently they had no record of both time b4 the last that the trans was replaced and the first time was at that exact DLR but a diff owner so they had no records of the first 2 times my trans was replaced.
