89000 mi
Dashboard developed crack over passenger side airbag.
80000 mi
US $200
Took car in for rear sub rattle and heavy clutch feel...the rear sub requires back seats to be taken out and the heavy clutch "couldn't be replicated" which I replicated as soon as I got in the car.
73000 mi
US $500
This was a repair to rust caused by a window replacement. The window glass guy damaged the metal when he took out the old glass and it eventually rusted. This car has no rust other than this! Acura paid half even though not their fault.
Drivers seat back had a "melted" looking area on the leather. Dealership replaced the drivers seat back cover. No further issues with the seat/leather

US $50
Rearview mirror clip had snapped...mirror was destabilized and hanging from wires. New clip was placed and mirror is now secure. Had the work done at a Honda dealership as the parts were interchangeable.
85000 mi
US $90
Both side view mirrors had yellow stains on them. Probably caused by the heated mirror option.. They just put mirrors with adhesive on the back of them over the standard mirrors. Not cost effective to fully replace.

US $1200
Repaired noise in rear brakes (loose part)
53000 mi
Replaced rear view mirror, $227. Ball socket shim/sleeve had cracked, mirror would not stay in position. Manufacturer does not have parts available to repair, so the complete mirror was replaced.
85000 mi
The dashboard is cracking in 3 spots, one over passenger airbag. This is a known issue that acura is trying to hide.
