Sorry that you have to deal all of this BS but see what the lawyer says. I'm no expert but would think you have to give them a chance to fix your vehicle though. You just can't decide when you are fed up and expect a new RL when you want because you paid a lot of money. Both you and Honda have rights and so far Honda has fixed your car.


Honda quality has been dropping for years now but for some reason I keep on going back. Ironically I've had the best luck with Fords but those were pushrod engines. I've never had an issue with a Honda or Acura (20 or so in the family since the 1980's) that were produced in Japan. The problems for me started in 2009 with models built in the US. The Acuras of the early 90's were bulletproof works of art.

From last 3 week my Rl developed the problem of poping sound when coming from the rear area when I come of a ramp or driveway basically every time the truck body is subjected to bending stress. I felt like its the rear glass shifting and you made it clear for me I have appointment booked for Monday to drive the tech with me to check this issue out. I also hear a solenoid tick when the Rl shift gears after 20 m/hr some time loud some time faint. I am getting frustrated myself. I have black paint and have few spots which I ignored but now I am king of regretting buyng this vehicle. should have waited little longer may be. Mine was fist of the lot and lastly my passenger side rear quarter panel has a gap between the gasket and the paneel where the fake line is and the panel is sticking out if you look from the top dealer was unable to fix it.

My Accord and Ridgeline do this as well. If you look at the transmission it looks like there are 6 solenoids there.

Your dealer seems to be a good one and is not trying to explain things away and get rid of you. It seems like you have a good relationship with them and they get you in and out quickly. Do you know if anything will show up on the carfax? I see used 2016 vehicles that say "body service performed" but don't show being in accidents which may be just for slight cosmetic work. The harness issue seems to be resolved and tested after you took it out to the beach. Hopefully the window is resolved too.

I'm a believer that the more hands that touch something the more screwed up it gets so if you keep it in the Honda family it may be easier for you if there are more issues.
