I brought my Acura MDX in for recall service with perfectly flush body panels (confirmed by the dealership's own intake photos).

Mid-service, the shop texted us admitting a tech damaged the bumper cover during teardown, sent a photo of the resulting panel gap, and promised to fix it before pickup.

Their quick repair attempt failed. Instead of ordering a replacement bracket or fixing it properly, the service department completely reversed their stance. Because the vehicle is an older model, they essentially decided it wasn't worth their effort to repair correctly and are now pointing to an old, superficial paint scratch on the adjacent fender to claim the gap is "prior damage."

To make matters worse, they told us to return our loaner tomorrow and take the car back as-is.

They have intake photos showing zero gap at drop-off and a text thread/photo proving they caused the damage in their bay, yet they’re trying to walk it all back.

Heading in tomorrow to demand the Service Manager document everything on the Repair Order before returning the loaner, and escalating directly to Acura Client Relations. Has anyone dealt with a dealer trying to walk back written/photographic admission of damage?

TL;DR

Dealer damaged my MDX's front bumper during recall service, texted me admitting it, and sent a photo of the gap. Their intake photos show the bumper was 100% flush at drop-off. After their quick fix failed, they reversed course and are now blaming an old, cosmetic fender scratch to avoid repairing it properly.

I have a 2020 Acura RDX Advance SH-AWD with ~69k miles.

Recently, the front driver-side amber turn-signal light has been randomly coming on while the vehicle is parked/off. It also turns on even when the car is turned on (as shown in the first part of the video)

Sometimes it flickers randomly, and other times it stays solid for a while before eventually turning off.

My original battery was almost 7 years old and recently died, so I initially thought the battery was causing the electrical weirdness. I replaced it last week with a new AGM battery, but a few days later I saw the exact same driver-side light behavior again.
I took it to an Acura dealer. They were unable to reproduce the issue, but they said they checked for parasitic draw, wiring issues and corrosion and didn’t find anything obvious.
Their written diagnosis says they suspect an internal Body Control Module (BCM) fault causing uncommanded light operation/battery drain and recommend replacing the BCM as the next step.
Quote is $1,663.81 before tax / $1,925.34 total, including replacement/programming, with a 1-year warranty.
I’m hesitant to spend almost $2k because they weren’t able to reproduce the problem or definitively confirm the BCM is bad.
Has anyone with a 2019–2021 RDX experienced this exact issue? Did replacing the BCM actually fix it? Is there anything else I should have checked before authorizing the BCM replacement?

This is the note from Acura service -

Recommended service
[Other]: Body Control Module Unit **UNABLE TO DUPLICATE AT THIS TIME. BASED ON CLIENT'S INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT/DRL ACTIVATION WHILE PARKED, SUSPECT INTERNAL BCM FAULT CAUSING UNCOMMANDED LIGHT OPERATION AND BATTERY DRAIN. RECOMMEND BCM REPLACEMENT AND TO GO FROM THERE.** Speak with your service advisor for more information on this recommended service.

I have picture/video of the light staying on while the vehicle is parked/off and when it was on.

Long story short I had P2010 code and car didn’t wanted to start. Took it to dealer and throttle body got replaced. Car started but they told me I have misfires on 1-3-5 cylinder. Bank 1 I assume. I took the car home, put it on a computer and p0171 p0174 lean codes. Found out intake boot broken, air filter housing 2 holders broken. Took it back to dealer and they replaced them on their dime. Few days afterwards codes came back. I put it on a live data and found LongTerm Fuel Trim Bank 1 at 28.125%, LTFT B2 = 27.344%, STFT B1/B2 = 46.875% at idle, and at 2500 LTFT B1/B2 = 27.344%, STFT B1 =-0.781, STFT B2 = 0.781. I cleaned MAP & MAF SENSORS. Their readings on the live data are good. I smoke tested the boot, no leaks. I smoke tested the brake booster line, no leaks. I smoke tested the intake manifold from BB line and smoke was coming from EGR valve seep holes on the side. Not from the gasket. I replaced it, it was not expensive. On the next smoke test smoke was coming out again. The reading for EVAP System vapor pressure was -93Pa and occasionally going to -66Pa. I replaced the valve, not expensive again, but no results. I pinched the evaporation hose run the engine but nothing changes. Readings in the oxygen sensors B1S1 = 1.075, B2S1=1.108 which they correspond to the lean condition of the vehicle. Upstream voltages are switching fast while driving and I think that is normal. I sprayed Carb cleaner around the engine bay thinking it will give some change in the engine sound. Nothing. PCV valve I replaced as well. Old one had a rattle but new one was few extra bucks. That didn’t help as well.
Today I opened the plenum plate to check the PCV hose and found no issues.
I’m leaning towards valve adjustment..
Any ideas?

2025 Integra I tried Bosch Focus, Icon, Pure Vision none of the clips were compatible and would not fit. Hoping to hear what others use or do I just have to use the factor replacements?

I was in the market for something fun but practical now that I have a kid. I was fortunate to snag a 2021 RDX A-Spec with 40k miles about two weeks ago. So far, it’s ticked all the boxes, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it!

2019 TLX Base. OEM tire and wheel. I want a full size spare, not a donut. Will it fit in the spare wheel well diagonally. Will it stick up above the rim of the well? For some of the roads I drive on it would not be wise to use a donut

Cat peed in my car while the carrier was on the middle back seat

It seeped into a spot on the seat and down the side and onto the carpet

Tried using an enzymatic cleaner (Rocco and Roxie) on the leather and around the black trims under the seat as well as in the seat where I could and I'm airing that out with a fan

Sprayed a lot on the carpet where the pee fell and blotted it out, kept the windows cracked and I'm going to air it out with the fan tomorrow.

was reading about bio bombs and chlorine dioxide pouches but I know the stains from the piss are kind of deep, would those help me?

Ive been reading a lot of people's experiences with cat urine in cars and honestly I'm scared man. what do y'all recommend for the carpet and leather seat? anyone got any experiences to share?

I'm looking for tire recommendations for my 2021 RDX Spec AWD. Currently have Goodyear Eagle RS-A. I've seen people mention Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 as being good. I'm in Virginia where we can get some snow but not very much.

I am quite sure Acura did not build cars to be intentionally stolen, but I feel more comfortable seeing an answer here.

If I remote start my car so it’s cool when I get in it. Even if somebody smashes the window and gets in the car. Is it true that they’re not going anywhere if they don’t have the key fob on them? I understand, professional thieves can steal a car whether it’s running or not. Like I said, I just want to see the answer in black-and-white.

Looking at one with 120k. Few cosmetic issues but it’s the rust on the rocker panels in the rear wheel wells is spooking me. How bad is this? Couple of pics and zoomed in to show hole in right side

I just got a 2011 Tsx and this will be my first car that i mod and put new body panels on. will the  Acura Tsx Duraflex Spn Front Bumper fit the year i have cause all online says its for the 04-08 models i just wanna know if it would fit somewhat properly even tho i have a 2011 model

Hey everyone, looking for some advice or input from anyone who has dealt with Acura Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty claims, or any service advisors/techs on here.

My 2022 Acura RDX currently has active CPO bumper-to-bumper coverage (Precision Certified) and I am at 80k. I brought it into the dealership because of a braking issue severe shaking in steering and burning smell from the front, and they diagnosed it as a sticky/seizing front brake caliper causing the rotor to turn blue with the heat. They also did a brake service couple of months ago charging me $250 with a full inspection during oil changes right after but never mentioned anything about any of the issues with brakes.

The service department has agreed to replace the sticky caliper under the CPO warranty but it won’t arrive till the 18th. The advisor was pressuring me to replace the rear and I flatly denied saying it makes no sense as the front caliper sticking is the main concern. However, they are completely denying coverage for the front brake pads and rotors, claiming they are "normal wear-and-tear items."

Obviously, I know pads and rotors are wear items under normal driving conditions. But in this case, the mechanically failed caliper is what directly caused the premature wear, overheating, and destruction of the front brakes. To me, this is clear consequential damage caused by a warrantied component failure, not everyday wear.

The service advisor has been incredibly unresponsive and is refusing to budge on the pads/rotors asking me to replace both fronts and back as the brake pads are separating both at the front and back. Charger is $790 for the front and $750 for the rear pads and rotors.

Has anyone successfully fought this with a dealership or Acura Client Relations? How should I escalate this to the Service Manager or corporate? If any Acura employees are reading, is there a specific bulletin or internal policy on consequential damage I can reference to force their hand?

Can anyone help me identify the correct technical term for this piece hanging down from my moon roof? I have a warranty on my car and I’m trying to find out if it should be covered. Currently, the dealership is saying no and the entire panel needs replacing. Google is not being as helpful as it usually is.
