2009 Acura TSX Body and structure Problems

“When I was driving on a freeway I heard a pop sound and saw that the passenger side windshield molding had come loose. It never fell off. I secured it with duct tape. It stayed when I drove on city streets, but popped off again on the freeway.”

“Noise coming from 2009 Acura tax rearend driverside. Piping noise can be heard when stopping and accelerating. There is a frame flaw. I am told Acura has a design flaw. They have to fuse two metal pieces to get the noise to quit and the dealer had to order a special tool from torance ca. What else is wrong with this horrible honda product.

“As I was driving on the freeway, I glanced over to my passenger and noticed something vibrating outside the front windshield. I pulled over and got out of the car to examine what it was.

I was astounded given the low mileage and the fact that all my past cars never needed brakes this soon. The car was only two years old. I recently took my TSX in for b12 service (5/12) which cost over $400. I could not believe that I would need replacement brakes so did not authorize it. I only have 25,000 miles.
