Problems with 2005 Acura TSX ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

My a/c compressor has failed 20 days after my warranty expired. compressor made grinding noise for a few seconds, then a loud bang, then stopped working. i've read that there are similar issues with 2004 vehicles that have been addressed, not sure why 2005 vehicles weren't included. apparently they were aware that these parts were bad and wouldn't last when vehicles were manufactured. dealer has stated repair costs to be around 2,600. *tr

The a/c system (mainly the a/c compressor, clutch, and stator) in my 2005 acura tsx suddenly stopped working at 71,000 miles without any warning. i've researched this issue online and discovered that many 2004 and above model-year acura tsx vehicles have this problem. www.acurazine.com has many stories of owner dissatisfaction over the acura tsx a/c system. my car was diagnosed by a professional technician at aamco, and he informed me that "these cars" (acura tsx) are well-known to have faulty a/c systems and that there was a "dealer note" in his computer system suggesting that the car be taken to an acura dealer. my car warranty has expired, and now i'm facing approximately $2000 in repairs because acura has installed what is apparently known to be a faulty a/c system in their tsx models. i don't see how it is reasonable for acura tsx owners to pay such high sums of money for acura's faulty engineering/craftsmanship. i admire acura vehicles and enjoy driving my tsx, but i would like to request some research into this matter if possible so that more people don't have to fork over thousands of dollars to fix issues that can and should be prevented. honda/acura should be accountable to the high quality standards they are typically known for. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 acura tsx. while driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled on three occasions. the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure because the sensor from the diagnostic would not provide an error code. the vehicle is presently with the dealer. they have test driven the vehicle, but are unable to duplicate the failure. the dealer and the manufacturer continue to state that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. the failure mileage was 6,000 and current mileage was 8,050.
