Tail Light Switch Problems of Acura RSX

Water leaks in to the trunk (where the spare tire is kept). It puddles and causes rust and mold. It causes asthma exacerbation and respitory illness. Due to the water, the tail lights get fogged up and it makes it difficult to see the brake lights. It also fogs up the inside of the car and makes it difficult to see out of the car . This car has never been in a rear end collision.

Acura Rsx 2002 to 2006 owners have experienced a flood in their rear tire well, causing tail lights, in some to rust out. This could cause a safety issue, particularly when driving at night and your tail lights have gone out. There is no recall on this issue, yet the blogs on Acura Rsx web site are huge! it's an expensive fix and not always covered by warranties. My car jack is rusted out and the spare tire won't come out due to excessive rust.

During the past several months I have noted water accumulation in both tail lights on my 2006 Acura Rsx. There is currently 1-inch of standing water in one of the taillights and approximately a â½ inch in the other. The vehicle is approximately 3-1/2 years old and just pasted the 50,000 mile Acura standard warranty. According to Acura client services, they have no obligation to correct or cover the cost of repairs because the vehicle is out of warranty! our local Acura dealer has not provided much help. This in my opinion is a major safety issue. The water that sloshes back and forth will eventually cause lamp failure and/or lamp socket corrosion and failure. The freeze and thaw cycle of the northeast will eventually crack the lenses. This problem is not an isolated instance. The internet and various forums are loaded with complaints of condensation and standing water in these tail light housings. This is an obvious manufacture defect and this safety issue should be corrected and covered by Acura regardless of warranties.
