NHTSA Complaint #10078850 — 2003 ACURA RSX

FOG LIGHT CRACKED THEY BLAMED IT ON ME REPLACED IT AND IT CRACKED AGAIN 1 WEEK LATER AND THEY FIXED IT AGAIN BLAMING IT ON ROAD VIBRATION. IT TOOK ACURA 3 TIMES TO FIX MY STICKING MAP LIGHTS. MY CAR WAS AT ACURA FOR 1 1/2 WEEKS FOR A BUZZING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE THEY FOUND A BUZZING WIRE AFTER ALL THAT TIME. TRANSMISSION WAS ALSO GRINDING AND THEY NEVER FIXED IT. MY CAR'S OIL HAS BEEN DISAPPEARING SINCE I BOUGHT IT. MY LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON AFTER 800 MILES AFTER TOPPING OFF. AT 13949 THEY STARTED AN OIL TEST "THEY WERE TIRING TO TELL ME IT WAS NORMAL TO LOOSE 1QT EVERY 500 MILES. THEY ALSO BLAMED IT ON MY OIL MOBILE 1. SO I PAID $75.00 FOR ACURA TO CHANGE IT. THEY INSISTED THAT TO DO ANY WORK ON MY CAR THEY NEED ME TO COME BACK TO ACURA EVERY 500 MILES FOR "ACURA" OIL WHICH I DID FOR 3 TIMES UNTIL I NOTICED OIL COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY ENGINE 23396 MILES THEY REPLACED HEAD GASKET. BROUGHT CAR HOME AND IT WAS LEAKING EVEN MORE. BROUGHT BACK AND THEY SAID NOW THAT THE TIMING COVER WAS DISTORTED AT THE RATE OF THE LEAK THERE WAS NO WAY TO DRIVE THE CAR SO IT WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER FOR A WEEK TILL THE PARTS CAME IN. THEY REPLACED TIMING COVER. CAR IS STILL LOOSING OIL AND MY TRANSMISSION IS NOW GRINDING WORSE THAN IT EVER HAS. WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG RSX MODEL CARS NOW THEY SAY THE OIL IS BURNING? STILL NOT FIXED. *JB
