Update

Well... Let me give you guys an update of my problems... it is 3rd week and I am still waiting for the Springs to come in from Japan... They say it will come in this coming Week and I made an appointments on Jan 20, 2003. to have it done... but for some reason, we got a lot of snow this couple of weeks and the noise is gone! I don't know if water on the road have anythings to do with it! But I will return the car in anyway...

Anyway, the pass 3 weeks is the plain in the a$$ for me in this car... First my Coil, then my Head light, water going in when it rain! And one of my power lock have fail! I brough it in right before Christmas and have it fix! I finally wrote a latter to Honda asking them how come this car have so many problems! And Honda contact me back and give me a $100 credit for services! and the lady on the phone actually call the dealer asking for me for the Spring Status! What so funny are I called them on Monday and they say they still didn't know when the COIL Springs going to come in... On Tuesday, Honda Head Office got my latter, and cotacted the Dealer; then they called me back and say the COIL will arrive by Jan 20! and they made an appointment for me!

This COIL Springs problems seem to been a common problems.. I have a friend that know some one worked in Honda/Acura. He say they getting a lot of this on 2002/2003 Acura EL... and that could be one of the reason why they don't have any COIL in stock localy... Because they can't give me the one that is here cause it have a known defact on it and have to get it from a totally redesign one from Japan....

I really don't understand how they don't have parts on hand! Cause the Acura EL is build in Canada and just 70 KM North of where I live! So what are those guys doing up there?? Seating around and wait for the parts to come?
