Convenient answers to your Acura questions
Because it’s a luxury car, you would expect Acura reliability to be high. Acura is the high-end arm of Honda, and it has enjoyed a reputation for quality and reliability in the past.
However, Acura reliability has declined in recent years, dropping from high in the ranks of Consumer Reports’ annual reliability ratings until it fell out of the top 10 for the last few years – outranked by several non-luxury brands.

I took the Power Steering O-Ring service bulletin linked from JustAnswer to my Acura dealer, and not only did they no-charge the o-ring, they also replaced the power steering pump at no cost.

HONDA PLATINUM was great. I really appreciate his help. I was ready to trade my new Honda until he told me to wait until I got 3,000 miles on it and my gas mileage would get much better.

Wonderful service, prompt, efficient, and accurate. Couldn't have asked for more. I cannot thank you enough for your help.
