2012 Acura TSX 4dr Wagon

201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD

21300 mi A piece of trim attached to the door came loose and our local mechanic repaired. 
22700 mi Driver's side windshield trim began to separate/lose adhesive 
15500 mi Driver side windshield trim became partially unglued. Sticking out, It added wind noise, but could also pose a danger to others if it fell off on the highway. 
53000 mi A piece of trim around the windshield flew off on the highway. This was a known problem with a TSB on earlier TSX's. Car out of warranty, dealer not helpful. Parts really shouldn't fly off your car should they?

7100 mi Persistent passenger-side dash rattle. (second trip) Dealer test drove but could not replicate for long enough to diagnose. 
41000 mi Car has developed a persistent "pop" sound from below driver's door when going over bumps and around corners . Dealer believes may be a problem with unibody weld, but unable to isolate it on this trip. 
46000 mi Back to the dealer for the popping sound from driver door. Dealer was able to replicate and investigated. Techs contacted Acura for information and documented the problem for future warranty purposes, but unable to identify a cause or fix 
62000 mi Diagnosis of ongoing noise from driver's door and/or frame under door. Dealer performed a repair per a TSB about unibody welds. Noise remains and if anything has worsened. 
68000 mi FINALLY resolved the ongoing popping noise near the driver's door. After about three weeks with the car, they tracked it down to a seat track that was flexing and not fitting correctly. Replacing the seat track fixed it for good.
