The car is giving external right head light issue. The light turns off suddenly at night which we need to turn on again after 2 minutes. This happens frequently and we have to turn on the lights very often. The dealer examined the issue and he expressed regret in repairing the vehicle and estimated price of $2. 500. The service manager though stated that the issue is same as it pertains to the rear lighting issue for Acura 2014 to 2020 models. We paid $100 just to examine the lighting issue to the dealer. We are senior citizens at advanced stage and it is becoming increasingly difficult to take out the cars at evenings for fear of proper and reliable lighting in the car.
During driving, collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) will activate and "brake" light will blink, indicating that you should apply brakes. This happened multiple times. Finally the cmbs warning light came on permanently. I took my car to Acura dealership for repairs. They informed me that it was a software issue and update of the software should resolve this problem.
