I bought the last year of Acura ILX during COVID. Thought I'd be getting that legendary Acura quality. The cars build has been solid and I haven't any mechanical issues to date. However I'm less than pleased with the NVH/Squeaks and rattles. This thing is nosier and buzzier than my 20 year Old Toyota Solora! I was actually thinking of trading up to the Integra Type S, but after hearing about your experience it's time for me to go back to Lexus or Infinity.

Dam you should have stayed with the Acura A spec manual.

It really shouldn’t take a famous KZfaqr with all this influence for companies to do the right thing. Thank you for making them do the right thing.

Lexus IS500 all day every day! I have an IS350 and I absolutely love it!

Glad you got the issues taken care of.

You know Honda/Acura's quality went down when they don't even align the bottom of the wheel cap to the tire filler valve. This is the first time I have seen them not aligning them.

It's time to move on from this car bruh

My 2018 SI hasn’t had these problems. You probably beat on the car.

I'm happy Honda Corp made things right, but I agree it's very scummy how they went about it when they viewed you as a "nobody" and waited for your story to gain more traction to make things right. That's also awesome that you're an engineer, you work hard to be able to afford these cars and have fun showing us the experience you have with them which I'm really glad because you're an honest person and I enjoy watching your content! I do love my ITS as well but I feel like its more of a do everything kind of car which is awesome in my case since I only have room for 1 vehicle, but my personal dream "affordable" setup would be a manual GR Supra and then some sort of fun winter car like a GR Corolla or WRX STI or some type of offroad vehicle like a Bronco or Ranger Raptor.

1st off, great channel Que. Next, I bought a brand new 2024 Integra Type S (ordered it back in July "23" and picked it up in RI on Feb.1 2024 (great dealership experience that day). I also have a misaligned front clip. I had the dealer installed illuminated black A-mark installed and my guess is the dealership didn't properly re-install the front correctly. Remember I said great dealership experience that 1st day. Well, since I'm from another state outside RI, I'm pretty sure the dealership could care less about me now. I wrote my salesman several times, along with sending detailed pictures, and he never bothered to respond. Along w the front clip not being re-installed correctly, the drivers side rear passenger door is misaligned. Sent pucs of this as well. Again, no response. I don't have the "rattle" several owners are talking about, but I do have a slight rattle from the cargo cover if the rear seats are down and a slight rattle from the right rear passenger window when it is slightly down. All minor, but I think the dealer should take care of the misaligned front clip and rear door. Other Acura dealers here in CT told me they won't do anything about it since the dealership who sold me the car should have noticed and taken care of it. I'm writing the GM in RI and will report back. Keep kicking ass Que and Go Pistons! I've lived in Kzoo and worked all over MI several years back.

Honestly this is why I only buy the most basic type car possible that will give me the least amount of issues. I had a Cadillac CTS V Coupe for 7 years and thank god no issues because for minor issues the dealership would act lile Acura of Troy. Lousy service. Now, I only buy Toyota and only basic cars lol. Boring but stable.

Any business whose intent is to use contractual language as a way not to fulfill reasonable requests is dirty.

ngl I couldn't have predicted this comparison

Cry harder for Adsense revenue Bro 😂

Not clear why you do use Lemon Laws. If you ask for them to fix the fender alignment 3 times, and they don't....

It's not a about the cloth that makes the man, it's about how you carry and present yourself. glad Honda corporate stepped up.

Unfortunately nothing JDM about the Acura Type S. If you wanted a JDM variant should've gotten the FL5. Sorry to see you have to keep going back to the dealership time after time BUT at least it makes for good content (maybe it was divine intervention for you to explore the YT thing). Either way hope things get sorted and thanks for being calm cool and collected in all of your videos and not acting like a complete knob when it could have been very easy to do so. You took the high road and simply documented your journey. Nice work sir. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Not the “Gawk gawk 3000 treatment” 😂😂 they better get you right folks lmao

Honda has seriously gone down in quality and customer service over the last 10 years..

I know myself pretty well which is why I don't take my car to shops for the most part. My mom just got scammed by a shop on her camaro for work they never did. Whole subframe out of alignment and they never even measured it but charged her for it being repaired . 8 other issues too they falsely claimed they fixed. Then I get scammed by a shop for my inspection, tried telling me my outter control arm and rod bearing was shot. Took my bmw home and did my rod bearings and there was nothing wrong with the one they claimed it was, didn't replace strut, took it to another shop and it passed inspection. Gotta know your shit better than the people you deal with.

Time to use 🍋 law and get IS500. 100% build from Japan. It’s automatic but that tanky N/A V8 will keep you smiling for at least 15 years.

I’m really debating if I should spend the money and get the type s or the a spec I really want the type s but is the price justifiable?

Dude, good for you. Can you ask your case manager and other contacts about the fuel pump recall? That came out on Dec. 18th of last year, and they still don't have parts for it!!

Man when you mentioned the rattle noise i be getting rattle noise as well i own a 2024 integra aspec

speaking straight facts Que, watched your videos now for some time! thanks for calling out these CORPORATIONS! Thank you for delivering the content and just keeping it honest!

That white dude was a fucking jerk 🤣

So this car is brand new and you have that many problems? Insaneeeee . wtf Acura !!!

Shame on Acura! Looks like Lexus owns the Japanese luxury market for a reason ..

I upgraded from a A-Spect W/Tech almost a month ago and happy to report have had zero issues with mine. Haven't even experienced any rattles. The A-Spec was an angry rattle snake.

HMC should buy that thing back, its a lemon.

You articulated the question of customer service and auto dealership and corporate decline perfectly. As a lover of Honda/Acura vehicles, I hope that this episode is not emblematic of where the company is heading. I don’t blame you one bit for not wanting to feature your car any longer. You are on point with the whole promotion angle, and for some reason,it hurts to have to say that. I’m subbed and best wishes!

Outrageous! Honky needs to be fired ASAP!! As a Honda/Acura fan, this is absolutely unacceptable. This pains me to no end!

Yo thank you so much for making these videos and documenting how you've been trying to navigate through all these issues that shouldn't even be close to happening in the first place. I'm dealing with a similar situation on my '23 Civic Si with 13k miles where my dealership basically says nothing wrong when I've had multiple engine, transmission, electrical issues, etc. Your content has been giving me hope and comfort that things may start to get better in the future.

you should just sell the car and wait like 7 years into Integra run so they can fix all these bugs and issue. Honda/Acura is known to release cars/SUV with issues like this because their Quality Control doesn't do their job. I'm sure if you bought a Honda Accord, you would not have these issues. New model, new problems lol

When that manager tried to blame you for the wheels, I was floored. I hope he goes to a retraining program.

That car has problems straight from the factory

Lexus all day everyday

Me too Q I have same exact problems from day one

telling some one you cant aline a body panel is insane, grew up in a collision shop and all my dad cared about was making every body line perfect, there is absoultey ways to move and adjust body panels

I’ve been having problems with mine as well. So I’m afraid to modify it and then I can’t use the vehicle with how it’s supposed to be used. And the sucky part is that mine is the performance red pearl

This is why I don't fuck with the free oil changes for my FL5

"Valued customer parking" ☠

Glad you got it sorted out man. You handled everything with top level respect

Yeah, that’s what they did to me. Honda is a crappy company.

What a shit dealership

From your comments on the quality of your Acura it sounds like there are a lot of deficiencies and things gone wrong that you wouldn’t have expected from Honda. Perhaps if it was built in a Japanese factory things may have been remarkably different. Keep in mind that this Acura is US built.

Bro throw that Wackura out and get a vw/audi

I wanna see more of that white Masi =)

Nice whip. My kids love mine. You must be very short though. Mine can't fit behind me
