My car makes a loud clunk when I am backing out of a parking place or driveway and turn the wheel and apply the brakes. I brought the car into the Acura dealer and was told that they were aware of the problem and that it is characteristic of this model and also the MDX that was made that year. I was told there was nothing wrong with my car, however, how do I resell the car with such a noise present? I feel there should be a recall and the problem fixed.

High beams reflect light to vertical objects at the side of the road, such as trees, structure, etc, causing distracting flashes of light, and momentary diversion of driver's attention. Low beams do now seem to go out far enough to give a good view of the darkened road without using high beams. The headlights on 2001 and earlier models were excellent and did/do not present the same problems. I do not know of headlights used on 2002 models were the same as mine. Dealer states problems not correctable in that lights operate as designed by manufacturer. There was a rattle in the front seat belt housing, the center console was hard to open, and the sill plate was loose.
