| When i took my car in for maintenance last year (9/11) they mentioned that at my next service visit i may need brakes. 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. the service representative claimed it was my driving style. everyone said it was just the dealership advising unnecessary work. the next day after service my left rear wheel started to squeal. when they removed the tires for the b12 service they evidently put the defective pad back on incorrectly. that day, i mentioned my brake issue to a friend and they informed about the defect and the class action suite. of course the service reps knew all along and never took responsibility. they could have offered me a discount on the brakes and explained the issue they were having with the 2009 tsx brakes. this could be a serious safety issue. additionally, i noticed a rust spot on my passenger side below the door their year (4/12). i have had no accidents. i thought with modern metals and paints this issue no longer existed. particularly with a new car and a acura. once again they blamed me and said it was my responsibility. there must have had a impact. none that was visible of course. | |||

| 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. the molding around the passenger side of the windshield had come loose and was waving in the wind. luckily, it was still partially attached. i drove directly to an acura dealer who said the tape and clips holding the molding on had come loose...probably from the heat in arizona where i live). they ordered a new part and as they were replacing it, noticed the molding on the driver's side was coming off too so they replaced that as well. this was all under warranty so there was no cost. *tr | |||

| I bought an acura 2009 tsx (tech pkg) in august 2008. within the first month i had the brakes squealing,terrible noise. took it to the dealer, who said it is normal with front brakes. i have suffered with the problem everyday for 1.5 years. when i went back to the dealer few days ago, they said there is excessive wear on the front pads. the car has 14,000 miles as of march 2010. they replaced the brakes per the new service bulletin related to squeaking brakes. windshield molding came loose for no apparent reason, dealer fixed it as warranty service. there is excessive glare on the navigation system, makes it dangerous while driving. not sure if there is a fix for this. *tr | |||

| 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. oh yeah and the engine pings a lot. what are we to do? *tr | |||
