Driver side headlight burned up. Removed and replaced bulb. All checks good. 
53000 mi Erratic cooling; filter was changed 
59000 mi Strange "whoop" sound (like gas escaping)intermittently when air conditioner was running. Dealer said common problem, air trapped in system, and they evacuated and refilled the system. System was cooling very well before & after repair. 
64000 mi This is a wear item, but I had a dispute with Acura about this, and they ended up paying for the battery although the car is now out of warranty. The previous battery (Acura branded) lasted exactly 2 years, which I thought was substandard. 
86000 mi A/C started making whooping sound again. Common problem fixed under warranty a couple years ago. No longer under warranty, so had been living with it.
