Brake problem 2010 TSX V6 16,100 miles

Just got back from dealer and boy I'm pissed!

Went to Vegas last week and the brakes were very bad and felt a vibration! Vegas Mechanic told me they have had many cars with the same problem! Told me brakes are not covered and to check at my local dealer if they can do anything,

After dealing with dealer in San Diego they told me the same thing not covered. They told me to call Acura. Acura said they would split it with me and only charge me $100 for the front brakes. After I said No I want you to pay for it all they said let us look at the car again and measure how much breaks are left. Long story short They paid for he front brakes! They also said there is a service bulletin now on the front brakes. After a few phone calls a lot of time they said they will fix the car charge me $150 for the back brakes and to get reimbursed from Acura.

After all of this I pick up the car today and they put a dent in the side!!!

Then they said this could not have happened here!

Well I did not see it when I dropped it off and the paper work did not show any dents! The manger said he will fix it now.

To top it all off they gave the car back on fumes gas tank on E

I had a 1/4 tank when I dropped it off!

What a WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry to hear that. I am very happy with my 06 tsx and also the acura dealer I go to for service. They are excellent. My car has 121,000+problem free miles with the original brakes. Not a fan of lexus

yes, that's a good idea because BMWs don't have problems at all, either with their cars or with their service departments/dealers...

Mostly highway driving-not racing up to redlights and jamming on the brakes. Had the oil changed at a acura dealer a few weeks ago-they also did the inspection-front brakes were 8 and rears 6.
