Any further away shots that show the entire handbrake? How did you do that with your finger? Are you a terminator?

Just take it to the dealer and have it fixed under warranty. Acting like a d-bag when you take it in to the service department probably wont get you very far.

As others have said, no need to bitch, just ask them to fix/replace under warranty. Your car is a 2015, I'm having a hard time seeing them giving you any hassles.

The only time I've ever seen that happen is when someone was using the ebrake for... uh... personal reasons.

Will be taking this to the dealership today, I called my salesman and let him know and he personally went out of his way for me and went to one of the Designs rep of Acura and let him know that my car is fairly new and this happened as one of the factory flaw of the ILX. He quoted me up to $300 for this but as a courtesy he would replace this today. Also weird how my domelights on my car never worked when it came off the lot, they will fix that today too.

Also if this happens to any others, you wont be covered. Probably until this becomes a recall. Unless your dealer was as awesome as mine or your car is new.

I still don't understand how you broke the button. I'd go on a limb and say I don't think anyone else will see that issue.

And I really don't see anyway how it wouldn't be covered under warranty. $300 for repair out of warranty - maybe, but who cares if it's covered??
