Just an FYI for any owners that are experiencing the "A/C Moans" (TSB-13-026), the fix is not working. I had the TSB performed about a month ago during the suspension recall work, and while initially it seemed to have helped, it's come back.

After working with my service advisor (great guy) and with some of the techs to confirm it was still there, it was indicated that several others (including a rep at the dealer than owns an RLX) are exhibiting the same issue and the TSB is not fixing it. It appears to be a wider spread issue.

So the good news is Acura is aware of it (we know that since they already tried to address it once with this first TSB), now just to see when they come up with a permanent fix.

what is the A/C moan issue?

never mind - I should have looked first in the TSB section

Thanks for sharing. I do notice I can hear it while AC is on. Not horrible just it could be nice if stays quiet.

Yup, it might be a small nuance, but simply something that should not be exhibited in a car of this price. Especially when it's supposed to be their flag-ship vehicle.

Add to the fact that their lower-priced vehicles do NOT exhibit this issue. My wife's ILX, the RDX loaner I drove a few days some months back, and the ILX hybrid loaner I had this week while they were looking into this, none of them exhibit this "moan".

Funny - I had a 2011 Infiniti M56 that moaned, and I suspected it was the A/C compressor. There was a lot of talk about it on the Infiniti forums. Didn't realize we had out own moans.

:-) And of course, all the lower priced vehicles you mentioned are made in North America.

I don't know how I was so lucky to have bought a car that doesn't have all these issues.

I think I've got a mild case of the injection fan problem, but it's so minor that it's barely noticeable.

We had a similar problem with our '04 & '08 TSXs. The fix was to drain the freon, replace the expansion valve, and then recharge the system. I do not experience this with our current RLX.
