New Owner....Integra common problems?

[TLP_TEG]

hi all, i've always liked integras, always wanted an integra, finally got a integra! nothing special just a daily driver. a 00 GS auto. the Q is.... are there any TSB's, recalls, or common problems that integras experience? i know 91-95 legends had cooling problems, 99-03 TL/CL/Accord had weak trannies, etc., etc. anything with the tegs?

rust...
just little things nothing really big comes to mind
you can do a search for "what to look for when buying a car" or something along those lines
we've gone over this before somewhere
ans welcome and pictures?

I've owned a 94LS an a 98 GSR, i've been satisfied with both considering mileage, nothing major i've noticed and nothing reaccured while owning mine. but welcome and post pics!

^ god, yes. haha that was a majority of the threads on one of the legend forums i used to go on.

Concerned about safety? So is Acura. That's why My Acura provides up-to-date recall information about your vehicle. Because My Acura recall listings are based on your Acura's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), they are specific to your vehicle.

There are no current safety recalls for your 1995 Acura.

^ that's for my teg. register your car on acura's site to get the latest on recalls, services, blah, blah, blah. you can also get your radio code on there! i just found that out! lol :thumbs up

Mmhm. Then click on "My Acura" at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions to register your car. You should have your VIN number handy. When you're logged in, there's an option to retrieve your radio code. Click it and read. They'll tell you where the dealers might have placed your code stickers, too. Pretty cool, IMO. There are also certain times you're allowed to retrieve it. I think you need the serial number. I'm not sure. I only glanced over it.

lol...Lemme know if it works!

P.S. You can also keep track of your service records on there!

- Windows get extremely foggy during rain, MUST use A/C
- Crappy cardboard-looking OEM speakers will tear/pop
- Vent sliders will destroy the insides of the vents so you cant direct airflow side - side
- Cant see the clock when its sunny outside

:shock:holy shit haha. well those little things happen to just about any car over time no matter how good you take care of it. just imagine if it was a ford....:what: i think the passenger side of my weather strip is starting to peel. anyone know what to do about it? is it hard to re strip it?

the oem radiator is horrible too...ive seen many people have problems with it

 

[Samurai_Blue]

for real though although our integras are prone to those problems they aint nothing. we all put time into our cars and it shows. simple things here and there can prevent all these proble,s

 

[Cheesenip]

im pretty sure alot of different cars door freeze in the cold. all it takes is moisture build up from the air at nite and freezing temps. does it on my srt

yep but only a select few have door-handle-break-offage on a fairly regular basis haha.

 

[98_gsr]

happenes to me when it starts to get cold...i just put some silicone spray on a rag and wipe down all the places where the door might snag...problem solved

 

[TLP_TEG]

well so far ive noticed that our gas and temp gauges arent very accurate. or maybe i need a new thermostat? :???:
