RSX-S front end noise

 Aside from creaky suspension bushings and progressively worsening squeaky
brakes, there seems to be a new front end
noise in my RSX-S.  It actually sounds like it’s starting to clunk a little
on the driver side front.
I have to be driving over some bumps to hear it and I just started to hear
it a few weeks ago.
Has anyone experienced something similiar?

brake question (RSX)

Recently found out the brake fluid of my 02 RSX dropped to 1/2 only. And
the brake has to be pressed deeper than before, in order to stopping the
car.

Today I went to the dealer and had the 32000km service, afterwards I was
told the brakes are normal and acceptable. But that’s not acceptable to
me.

So anyone know what’s the problem my car’s brake? Any input would be
appreicated. thankyou.

RSX – No problems – am I alone?

I bought a ’03 RSX Type S and have had no problems.

I am just approaching the 5,000 mark and everything seems to be working
well. The car is beautiful. I’m learning to drive it at high rev’s –
something a person from my generation has always avoided – and the only real
gripe I have is that after (or during) rain when I open the rear hatch,
water drops down into the car.

Other than that, the car seems to be quite together

'04 RSX Leaky Sunroof?

I hear air seeping in a corner of the roof/seal when traveling over
50mph.  I’m taking it into the dealer tomorrow and I wonder if anybody
has had a similar problem.

2000 Acura

Hi there!

Please help.  I spent a lot of time in the Nissan group when I owned an 1989 240SX.  I bought a 2000 Acura TL.  A year ago with 45K on it last year.  I didn’t think I would be spending anymore time in auto news groups for a while.  The car was service a few times last year for various electrical problems.  Yesterday the "maintainance required" light came on.  Can anyone give me a clue to where to look for the problem before I take it to Acura dealership?  Any help will be great appreciated.

p.s. the car is no longer covered under warrenty

1991 Integra wipers stopped working!

I turned them on and they froze in the up position, I then checked fuses,
ok. I then turned them on and they seemed to move and stop again. I can hear
the wiper motor working but no movement? Anyone know what the layout is or
have a schematic of the setup? Also, where is the darn motor under the hood?
Thanks for your time!

JR
