Leaking Radiator

Ok, this is a good one. 06 MT with 10K started noticing that the antifreeze level in the overflow bottle was going down. Added a bit but did not think much of it. After it continued to go down took it into dealership. After a few visits they noticed that the seals on the top and bottom tanks of the radiator were leaking. They indicated that they have seen this on 2 different MDX's but never on a TL. They ordered and installed a new radiator. About 1 week later, same problem. WTF. Acura needs to get their act together. If I wanted this quality I would have bought a FORD. Anyone else have this problem?

Well you got the bad luck of the draw, the mechanics at your dealer should have made sure that it was fixed and done right the first time!

Tell me a about it. They now have had my car for almost 1 week trying to track down the leak. They are flying an engineer in from CA to lend a hand. I think they believe this is a bigger issue. Will let know.
