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

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

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

Acura 2006 rsx s vehicle was bought new. We had drive train problems with this vehicle shifting into gears and popping out of third gear. Repair work was done numerous times while under warranty, but the problem was never fixed. Acura corporation, and the acura dealer kept claiming there was no problem with the vehicle. While operating the vehicle the transmission locked up causing a near rear end collision. There are currently 2 tsb listed for problems related to this. Acura claims they will not do anything because the vehicle is out of warranty now. Despite the fact that i have stated our position in regard to what we are requesting from acura corporation. Our rsx had, before, during and after the new transmission was put in, a grinding, shifting and popping out of gear problems. This defect is well documented, by written, verbal and cell phone records, of conversations between me, and many individuals that are including, but not limited to, being directly or indirectly connected to acura. It is very sad that it appears someone needs to be killed due this vehicle defect, before any action is taken. I informed acura that we will seek legal action to recover our loss. Typical dealer & manufacturer modus operandi. Wear the customer down until the warranty expires, and tell you now you have to pay for the repair. *tr

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

1. Hazardous night driving loss of low beam headlight due to poor light socket design and construction. This defect appears to be a burnout light halogen light bulb. 2.The bulb burns out due vibration, or arching caused by the light bulb locking mechanism assembly failure leaving the bulb loose, and held in place only by the protective rubber boot. The lamp socket is held in place by a high tension spring locking into a small hook protruding from approximately 2? Diameter thin soft white metal cast disk attached with 2 small screws to the headlight reflector. This tooth shaves off by the spring pressure as evidenced by metal shavings present in base of the reflector. This is not an isolated occurrence, and a brief internet search has turned up many of similar owner reports. Loss of light is often preceded by the blinking headlight. There is a danger of crash due to loss of lights on an unlit highway. 3.The soft metal light socket mount should be replaced by a stamped sheet metal part that would not crack under the spring pressure. The choice of a very soft and thin metal die cast for this part is an obvious error. The stamped part should be also much less expensive then the die cast. The only fix so far is a replacement of the entire headlight assembly with 3 lights at $619.53 because acura refuses to make the replacement die cast disk available as a replacement part. Acura service stonewalls the warranty repair requests. In my case, the original dealer has claimed that the light is not able to be fixed under the warranty because car ?Had an impact?. The acura case manager has arranged opinion from another dealer who has said there was ?No impact?, but the user ?Must have broken the retaining hook during the light bulb replacement?, hence no warranty service. The issue is that the light bulb has been found loose in the socket, making it impossible to be replaced at night. You need to require that all light bulbs must be replaceable without use of tools. *tr
