“Shortly after I purchased this vehicle in 2013, I noticed that their was a loud vibration coming from the front right driver's side near the wheel well when driving at speeds between 30 - 45 MPH. This vibration would occur intermittently. When I took the vehicle back in to the Acura dealership, it was stated that they could not duplicate the issue. Two years later, the issue is still occurring and the dealership can't duplicate . Additionally, noticed that there was bubbling of the front grill chrome paint. Later it became apparent that the left front passenger window panels were warped. …”

“Driver side passenger door is not locking properly, we have to use the force like a heavy truck door. It's not safe when kids are sitting inside. Complained to Acura and they say it's not a bug, that's how that door will work. 10 year daughter can not close the door on her own. Every time driver has to use more force to close the door.”
