Acura Rsx problems
The fourth-generation Honda Integra (chassis code DC5), produced by Honda, was introduced in Japan on 13 April 2001, and produced from July 2001 until August 2006. It was introduced in North America on 2 July 2001 as the Acura RSX, the name a part of Acura's naming scheme changing the names of its models from recognizable names like "Integra" or "Legend" to alphabetical designations in order for buyers to build more recognition to the marque, and not the individual cars.
Chassis and drivetrain
In concordance with the introduction of the Integra's platform mate, the seventh-generation Civic being introduced in 2000, the Integra joined the Civic in abandoning Honda's traditional double wishbone suspension at both ends and adopted MacPherson struts in the front and trailing arm type suspension in the rear along with the new K-series engine supplanting the B-series.
The K-series engine features intelligent VTEC (or i-VTEC), which electronically adjusts valve lift and duration between separate cam profiles, as well as valve timing with the implementation of a continuously variable sprocket, giving the 2.0 L engine a flatter torque curve relative to previous VTEC implementations which only adjusted valve lift and valve duration.

Common Acura Rsx problems
Based on complaints from owners of the Acura RSX, several common problems have been identified:
- Leather Seat Tears: The leather seats in Acura RSX cars are prone to tearing, with many owners experiencing tears in the seats over time. This issue affects the aesthetics and comfort of the interior.
- Exhaust Manifold Rattling: Problems with the exhaust manifold have been reported, including rattling noises due to rust and heat shield breakage. This issue can impact the performance and sound of the vehicle.
- Water Leakage into Taillights and Trunk: Water leaks into the rear taillights and trunk area have been noted by owners. This can lead to standing water in the spare tire compartment, potentially causing rust and other issues. Replacing the gaskets and addressing the leaks is crucial to prevent damage.
- Headlight Issues: Some owners have faced frequent headlight problems, requiring bulb replacements every 8-10 months. Additionally, issues with reverse lights going out multiple times have been reported, impacting visibility and safety.
- Transmission Gear Grind: Difficulty getting into 3rd gear at times has been mentioned by owners, potentially related to transmission fluid issues. While not a major problem for some, it can affect the driving experience and may require attention.
- Heat Shield Rust: Rusting of the front bolts on the catalytic converter's heat shield has been observed, leading to a vibrating noise at low RPMs. Addressing this rust issue is essential to prevent further damage and noise disturbances.
- Starter/Alternator Grinding: Some owners have reported issues with the starter or alternator grinding on cold mornings. This can indicate underlying electrical or mechanical problems that need to be addressed promptly.
- Electrical Wiring Issues: Problems with the wiring for the AC outlet and cigarette lighter have been mentioned, with fuses blowing instantly when plugging something in. This electrical issue can be frustrating and may require professional attention to resolve.
- Voltage Drop When Braking: Owners have noted a voltage drop when braking, affecting the electrical system's stability. This issue can be particularly noticeable during night driving or in rainy conditions, impacting various electrical components in the vehicle.

MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM: POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED TO KEEP VACUUM, MAKING BRAKES WEAK. I SEE THAT THIS EXACT FAILURE WAS RECALLED FOR THE NEXT MODEL YEAR (2006). BOTH MODEL YEAR CARS USE THE SAME BOOSTER, SO IT IS LIKELY THE SAME CAUSE AND SAME RISK TO ALL 2005 ACURA RSX MODELS. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO MAKE SURE NO-ONE HAS AN ACCIDENT DUE TO WEAK BRAKES, ESPECIALLY WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED FOR THE SAME MODEL CAR ONE YEAR LATER, THAT USES THE SAME PART.

I have owned many cars in my 32 years of driving, but the 2005 RSX Type S is by far the best car I have ever owned. It's quick, quiet, reliable, and incredibly fun to drive!
-
Vehicle year: 2006
This car is amazing! It has great pick up and plenty of power. All aspects of the car feel fantastic. The sound system is so good it could blow out the windows! Even with the A/C going, you can still get an impressive 30-32 mpg on the freeway. It may be a little hard for some to get in and out, but once you're in, the comfort is unbeatable. There's little to no noise from outside, and the tight steering and ultra-close gears in the 6-speed make it feel great to drive. You'll always have enough power!

I just picked up my new RSX-S last week and I am thrilled with it. I was also considering a Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS, but I'm so glad I went with the Acura.

Vehicle year: 2004
When you first see the concept version of the RSX, you can't help but fall in love with it. It's a car that never ceases to amaze you with its performance. Even though it has a small engine, it packs a lot of power. In my area, the RSX is quite rare, so people always ask me what it is. It's always a pleasure to tell them that I drive an Acura RSX Type S.

This is a really fun car! You definitely get more than you pay for with great performance, reliability, style, and comfort. Although, I do wish it had some type of traction control and a little more torque.
Are you having problems with your Acura Rsx?
Cyril Harber 2025-03-14

After owning an Integra for a while, I wanted to share my experience with you. While the car has its strengths, such as good performance in gears other than second, I have found some areas that could be improved. The seats are fair at best, and the ride, road noise, and sound system could be better. Additionally, there is a noticeable gap in power between 3000 and 5000 RPM. Overall, I think the car has potential, but there are some areas that could use some attention. I hope this information is helpful to you.
Arnulfo Wintheiser 2025-02-18
Vehicle year: 2004
Although I used to be a big Honda fan, I must say that I am very disappointed with this car. The transmission is a common complaint and the fuel economy is not up to par. Additionally, the interior lacks many luxuries that should be standard for the price, such as heated leather seats and lighted vanity mirrors. The plain appearance of the interior is also a letdown. Furthermore, the stock tires are not up to the mark and can be dangerous. Unfortunately, even after less than a year of having the car, there were already rattles in the dash. However, I am confident that I will be able to find a better car and will be trading this one in soon. While this car may not be an Integra, I still believe that Honda has the potential to create great cars.
Milan Swaniawski 2025-02-09

Hey there! I understand your frustration with Acura's decision to call the RSX an Integra. It's definitely not the same as the original Integra, which was a classic. Maybe Acura should consider bringing back the real Integra? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Isidro Labadie 2024-06-23

The S is a great car and would be perfect for someone who lives in an area with smooth roads. Although the tight suspension provides a thrilling ride at highway speeds, it can be a bit bumpy on less-than-perfect roads. The engine produces an amazing sound when accelerating onto the highway or at red lights, but it may attract attention when driving around town unless kept under 3500rpm. The car handles beautifully, and the level of standard equipment on the S is unmatched. While some have complained about the seats, I find them both supportive and comfortable (just remember to use the lumbar adjustment!).
Walton Hamill 2024-04-17

I expect my car to perform without any issues. Despite my initial satisfaction with the purchase, the frequent need for repairs, specifically related to the sunroof and suspension, has been disappointing. I am confident that the dealership will resolve these problems and ensure that my car drives smoothly.
