Glove box material is melting and sagging. Ithe glove box material has also "orange peeled". when googled, this is a widespread and common problem with Acura's between 2005-2007. A defective material was used on the glove box.

The road noise prevents the use of the hands free phone. The phone works fine while stopped and can not be used when driving because of the road noise. This makes it a safety problem since you must use the phone in a normal way. This also breaks the law in NJ. Acura can not fix it.
