I have a question. I have a 2002 Acura RSX and I can't get the darn thing out of park. I know how to do it manually, but I was wondering if anyone knew the permanent fix to this problem. And how much do you think it would cost if I took it to a dealership? Read More...

Hello, I just purchased a 2002 RSX from a private party. It is an automatic with 97,000 miles. I wanted to mention some things just to see what you guys might think and if you've had similiar issues... 1. There are 2 small oil seal leaks which I knew about when I brought the car to my mechanic. the seller took $1000 off of the price to pay for the repair. I thought this was ... Read More...

Demand for RSX?

Written by: djconner on Dec 01, 2006 09:27 AM

I just got a mailing from my dealer advertising a supposed "super deluxe mega buyout offering!" or somesuch, saying that there's a big demand for used RSXs, and implying that they'd be giving much better trade-in offers for my 2002 RSX than usual. I've occasionally gotten such mailings in the past for my previous car, a Saturn. I tend to assume such things are 99% ... Read More...

Steering problems after accident

Written by: kated on Aug 15, 2006 00:07 PM

I have a 2002 RSX that was recently in an accident. It was hit on the passenger side (right) front wheel/door area. I got it back from the body shop yesterday and it looks great but drives terribly. Among other things, the body shop replaced the suspension and did an alignment (insurance wouldn't pay for the Acura dealership to repair it). Now the car pulls to the ... Read More...

6 months of repairs?

Written by: rsxr on Aug 01, 2006 10:57 AM

I bought a 2002 RSX with 20,000 miles on it...loved it to death... a month later I was in a minor accident. I brought it to Santa Monica Acura where 2 of the shop guys told me that there was frame damage for sure. 6 months later...multiple visits to both Santa Monica Acura and Brown Bros. I got my car back. Oh yeah, and the frame they were scaring me about? Finally they ... Read More...

Re: Problems with the 06 acura RSX AT... [albert8]

What problems are you talking about? I've had an AT RSX since October of 2001 and have had zero problems with the transmission. (I assume you are wondering about the transmission since you specified AT in your question) Nothing has changed on the RSX from the 2002 model to the 2006 model except some cosmetic changes.

RSX Service Questions

Written by: eyebquick on Mar 22, 2006 06:49 AM

I'm a little concerned that my acura dealer is trying to take me for a ride, and would like some honest feedback from the group. I just took 2002 RSX-S in for a 45K checkup - really just an oil change, tire rotation, and brake fluid flush. Dealer came back and said coolant needed to be flushed (although manual says it is required at 120K), 2 tires are bad although I rotate ... Read More...

Re: 2002 RSX - Type S (problems & 1 solution) [djromesburg]

Written by: nitromax on Jan 31, 2006 03:34 AM

I can't understand how crappy this car is, my first Acura and my last. I bought my 2005 brand new and as of Jan 2006, I only have 57k miles on my car. ONLY 57K miles? Do you ever get out of your car? :-) HOWEVER as I was told; UNLESS ACURA has a recall on this, ANYTHING outside of the warranty period isn't covered UNLESS Acura has a recall. Suprisingly enough, Acura has NO ... Read More...
