STRUCTURE
THE HOOD LATCH IS SEPARATING FROM THE THE BRACKET ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. THIS OCCURRED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SECURE THE HOOD CLOSED WHILE PARKED. THE LATCH NO LONGER ALIGNS CORRECTLY WITH THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE HAS 193000 MILES. IT APPEARS THE METAL BRACKET IS OF INSUFFICIENT DESIGN STRENGTH. THE SAFETY LATCH WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD THE HOOD CLOSED IF THE THERE IS VIBRATION AT HIGH SPEEDS. OTHER OWNERS REPORT FAILURES WHERE THE LATCH BREAKS LOOSE. SOME OWNERS ATTEMPT REPAIRS WITH EPOXY THAT DO NOT LAST. ALL VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND THE BRACKET REPLACED TO AVOID ACCIDENTS.

THERE IS WATER AND CONDENSATION BUILD UP INSIDE THE TAIL LIGHTS. I HAVE REPLACED THEM A FEW TIMES AND STILL HAVE ISSUES. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL HAZARD AND I'VE READ MANY FORUMS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL ACURA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTINGSTRUCTURE
ACURA RSX 2002 TO 2006 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED A FLOOD IN THEIR REAR TIRE WELL, CAUSING TAIL LIGHTS, IN SOME TO RUST OUT. THIS COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOUR TAIL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, YET THE BLOGS ON ACURA RSX WEB SITE ARE HUGE! IT'S AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND NOT ALWAYS COVERED BY WARRANTIES. MY CAR JACK IS RUSTED OUT AND THE SPARE TIRE WON'T COME OUT DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTINGSTRUCTURE
WATER LEAKS IN TO THE TRUNK (WHERE THE SPARE TIRE IS KEPT).IT PUDDLES AND CAUSES RUST AND MOLD. IT CAUSES ASTHMA EXACERBATION AND RESPITORY ILLNESS. DUE TO THE WATER, THE TAIL LIGHTS GET FOGGED UP AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE BRAKE LIGHTS. IT ALSO FOGS UP THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE CAR . THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A REAR END COLLISION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN SHIFTING TO 3RD GEAR FROM 2ND OR 4TH IN MY 2006 RSX TYPE S, THE GEAR WILL GRIND, EXTRA FORCE WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUCCESSFULLY SHIFT, OR THE SHIFTER WILL POP OUT INTO NEUTRAL. THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE IS THE LATEST DAY THAT THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN DECEMBER 2005; THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. AFTER BRINGING IT INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, NO ISSUES WERE FOUND. MULTIPLE DRIVERS OF THE CAR HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD OR WARM, AND IN VARIOUS TYPES OF WEATHER. AFTER OVER 85,000 MILES DRIVEN, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GOTTEN WORSE OR BETTER. *TR
