The center display screen went blank (black) and I can't adjust anything.
Glove box material is melting and sagging. Ithe glove box material has also "orange peeled". When googled, this is a widespread and common problem with Acura's between 2005-2007. A defective material was used on the glove box.
While I'm driving from work I head a squeak noise. So I turn the ac off the noise stop but still hear time to time. I got home ok then I told my husband the problem, he took the car out for a test. As soon as back out the drive he can hear some thing fell off then the power steering stop working. He has to muscle the steering back to the drive. He open the hood and found out the harmonic balancer fell off. Lucky for me that did not happen to me while I'm on the free way. Oh my work only ten miles from my house.
Headlights have previously flickered and temporarily turned off, dealer has claimed our vehicle was the only one impacted, low beams have now comlpletely failed creating a safety hazard.
