u don't fix it b/c so many ppl got this problem?!

My middle rear break light cover doesn't stick very well, so the red light comes out

when I step on the break pedal, I took the car to the deal to fix it last week,

but they said, they got nothing to do with it, coz so many ppl got this problem...

wth? what should I do? just ignor it? but it is really annoying...

WTF?? after pimp slapping the service guy and saying "I'm Rick James B!^(#!!!" talk to a supervisor it shouldnt matter how many people have the prob and soon as a cop pulls you over cuz he/she sees your break light "out" i dont think " i took it to the dealer and they wouldnt fix it" would fly then you get stuck with a ticket

The brake light isn't out, but the cover is not stopping the light from showing through on the sides. It is a common problem but easily fixed.

One solution is for them to remove it and put a strip of foam tape along the edge and then put it back on, which usually stops the light. Another solution is to get a new brake light cover.

Doesn't matter how many people have the problem, they are there to fix it. If they tell you this again, ask them if you can use their phone, and then called Acura Customer Service and tell them what is going on and ask them to speak to the person who told you this.

Wow i just discovered i have this same prob. its no biggie. always thought it was because of the tint. after i read this i had a friend help me and push up the cover as i pushed down the brake, sure enough the light went away.

I need to get to work on this since my subs are rattling that thing like a sob. probably because i took out the stock sub and a mass or air escapes from there.
