| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | TRANSMISSION IS HORRIBLE IN THE CAR THIS IS THE 2ND ONE THAT WENT ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT WENT IT POPPED OUT OF 2ND GEAR AND GRINDED INTO 3RD. THE SECOND TIME IT STARTED THE SAME WAY AS THE FIRST ONE WENT, BUT IT ONLY GOT WORSE BECAUSE IT GOT STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND THAT WAS THE ONLY GEAR THAT WOULD WORK, NOT EVEN REVERSE! |
| 2004 | AIR BAGS | I HAVE 7,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY SRS SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE SRS COMPUTER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. MY BUSINESS PARTNER ALSO HAS A 2004 RSX AND HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 5 TIMES ALREADY. THERE ARE ALSO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS POSTED ACROSS THE INTERNET, SPECIFICALLY ON CLUBRSX.COM ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS LIT THAT ALL OF MY AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED. I FEAR THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IN ADDITION THERE IS A SERVICE BULLITEN OUT THAT STATES THAT A CELL PHONE CHARGER CAN SOMETIMES CAUSE THE SAFETY SYSTEM TO FAIL IN THE CAR. I THINK THAT IF PLUGGING IN A CELL PHONE CHARGER INTO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER CAUSES THE SRS SYSTEM TO FAIL, THERE IS MAJOR DESIGN FLAW WITHIN THE SRS SYSTEM ITSELF.*AK |
