Over the weekend my remote stopped working. I purchased my 07 RL two weeks ago and came out to my car only to find that the remote didn't work at all. I entered with the key but then I couldn't start the car. It was almost as if my settings had been erased. Earlier that day, a friend showed me how to let the windows and the sun roof down with the remote. She put the key in manually to let them back up at the same time. I don't think this would have made a difference (it's in the manual I later found out) but it's the only thing I can think of we did in terms of "tampering" with the car.
Long story short: took it in to the dealership yesterday and it was working fine. But for a least three days it wasn't. Has this happened to anyone?
Has anyone had a similar problem or can recommend a solution?
I thank anyone who can help.
The hardest thing is it is an intermittent problem. After the dealer could not find anything and i picked up the car and it drove 300 miles before the problem returned. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Someone else posted this but I don't recall who it was.
Good luck.
Left car running got out opened garage door put the car in drive and likely my brake was on and my foot was on the brake pedal car started speeding up. Any one elese had this problem/solution. Hope this was a one time problem.
As far as I'm concerned the NTSB is worthless.

I am looking for a used RL under 15k miles. I wonder if any of you have any advice, if I should get an '05 or '06.
Any feedback, would be greatly appriciated.
I will need to take apart the dash to get to the radio.
Do any of you know where I could get instructions to do the disassembly?
It would sure help to have this as oppose to doing it by trail and error.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

acura dealer referred me to a place that will do it for $299. I assume i need to give up one of the keys.
also does acura offer a valet key? i only received 2 keys when i bought the car and they were both with a remote.

Has anybody had problems with the power window motors/lifts breaking? I've replaced 3 window motors in the last 3 years.
Thanks.
I was driving home on the Highway in my RL and I had what I think was a power surge? No idea why, that had never happened before. But the car seemed to go faster then slow back down to normal. When that happened the lights in the instrument pannel went out, as well as my power windows. Everything else works, idiot lights, interior lights, the radio, the power mirrors. For what ever reason the Instrument pannel is completely dead, and the windows won't open (the sun roof works though)
I already checked the entire fuse block twice over, and pulled all the relay's and tested them. Any other thoughts?
I've got a 96 RL w/ 175k mi. and I've replaced 3 lifts so far. All have gone out once except front passenger window. I even bought the replacement kit off of Ebay several years ago for it in anticipation of needing to replace it. So far it's still working.
I went back to the dealership and they took it for a test drive but did not notice any problem...probably because the problem is random (maybe happens every two days or so).
Does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks.
Has anyone had trouble with a very short battery life? Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews on Edmunds about dealerships before I purchased the car, or I would have shopped elsewhere.
Anyway, I'd suggest you get a workshop manual for this job, either on eBay, Amazon, or at your local library, because you'll need a step by step, tool recommendations and also diagrams for the timing marks, pulleys, etc.
