1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2019

Front passenger door lock actuator was replaced less than two years ago. The exact same problem with the same door lock has reoccurred. The locked door will not open when the door handle is touched nor will the driver side door lock control lock or unlock the front passenger door. While driving the actuator is constantly trying to lock the doors but it doesn't work. I have seen other similar problems with this vehicle during my on-line research. I contacted the Acura dealer that repaired and replaced the original actuator but was told that the part warranty is 1 year.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2011

I have had some issues with my 2006 Rl. I have gone out to start the engine and numerous times especially during cold weather it will not start and I have had to jump it. I have taken this to 2 different Acura dealerships and have had the battery replaced 3 times. It has done it about 12 times during the time of November 2012- march2013. I feel that this is an ongoing issue and it needs to be addressed. I some out to either go to work or leave work and will have to jump start the car. Also my other complaint is with the air conditioning unit. I have the 06 Rl and my father in law has a 05 Rl and during the middle of the summer of 2012 both air conditioning units went bad at the same time and I am wondering what the issue is with that.
