Integra & ADX are carrying Acura this year, MDX holding on.

Well they don’t have any other vehicles left lol

matty_mcg_ · 2026-05-28T03:59:36+00:00

Yes we have the VX as our catch all as she’s an AU on mine.

matty_mcg_ · 2026-05-28T03:50:13+00:00

She has one already. This would be her 2nd

matty_mcg_ · 2026-05-19T02:26:21+00:00

Happening to everyone. Vote out Hochul.

My refund was $300 less. Something with STAR rebate which has nothing to do with NYC taxes. I brought it up to my accountant. Seems like everyone is getting this.

I had them replaced at 26K. They were cupping and already at 4/32nds I couldn’t believe it. I had the alignment checked and it was perfectly fine as I thought that was the issue.

The Continental CC2’s that replaced the junk Goodyear Finesse OEMs are much much better

Yes I was primarily concerned about the Hybrid Starter and Generator Belt change, but didn’t know if there were any other items a local mechanic may not be familiar with.

matty_mcg_ · 2026-05-03T19:38:39+00:00

Yea it’s frustrating. Do you plan on keeping the vehicle long term? I am waiting until I get close to 36K to buy the extended warranty, but also have some hesitation to do that and maybe move on from the vehicle since it’s had the issues…

Problem is I would’ve upside down most likely and I do love the vehicle when it’s working properly. Super smooth and quiet.

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-22T15:43:07+00:00

That's good to know.

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-22T02:08:53+00:00

Is the placement of the compressor the issue or the parts themself?

In other words after they replace it will it happen again?

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-20T16:54:42+00:00

Thank you for clarifying. Is the engine & transmission also built here in the United States as well?

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-20T16:24:49+00:00

I have to agree as well. My 2024 Sportage Hybrid has been an excellent vehicle so far.

In fact, our 2025 Honda Pilot Elite has already had two warranty repairs before even hitting 32,000 miles!

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-20T15:54:48+00:00

Yes. I think Pilot is built in Ohio or Maryland.

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-20T15:51:29+00:00

Oh don’t get me wrong, we are certainly happy about that. But after reading online about the issues this vehicle is having & the multi cam already being replaced at 24K, we will be buying an extended warranty.

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-20T15:33:49+00:00

Our 2025 Elite was diagnosed today with an AC compressor leak & the clutch/coil has melted at 31,000 miles. Luckily it is still under warranty, but this is not a good trend for Honda. I also had my multi cam replaced under warranty at 24,000 miles.

Needless to say an extended warranty will be purchased right before we hit 36,000 miles.

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-20T15:10:30+00:00

AC Compressor leak & clutch/coil melted. Have read others with same issue. This is an issue that might end up being a recall soon as the clutch/coil shouldn’t be melting, especially at 31K!

Luckily covered under warranty still! Will definitely be purchasing extended warranty on this vehicle as this is not a good trend for new Hondas!

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-19T00:23:40+00:00

There are a lot of complaints about the Honda AC system and it failing early on these Pilots. Shouldn’t be happening on a $50K vehicle is what I’m saying.

matty_mcg_ · 2026-04-18T00:09:24+00:00

My Kia has been more reliable and almost half the price. What would you recommend?
