“Rattling sound at the steering wheel column/dashboard area. I had my car for about 5 months now and I had to bring my car back to the dealership for service 4 times. The first service they've said that it was the suspension, so they retightened all the bolts in the suspension. The second through the fourth service they've tightened the bolts of the center console and the glove compartment. During the forth service time the service tech said that they couldn't pinpoint where the rattling sound was coming from. After doing some research I've noticed a trend of complaints of this situation.”

The test drive itself was uneventful until I needed to make a sharp u-turn. …”

Adjacent to the pedal is an open exposed area where a covered plastic area heats up. I was told that this area is where the exhaust pipe and catalytic converter travels. This is problematic because heat is generated constantly on my feet, right foot in particular. I have looked at other models and this opening does not exist in any other Acura models both new and old. …”
