"This is a freaking awesome SUV!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The transmission failed at 104000 miles.

The mirror leaks water all over the car after you wash it for miles leaving water streaks - arrgh worse than the tranny failing...

There is a constant chatter noise coming from the glove compartment box that will drive you absolutely insane.

30k, 60k, 100k service is abnormally high - get ready to take out a 2nd mortgage. 100K service around $1200 - really - call local Acura dealer for giggles.

After they changed the front springs (recall), there is a clunking noise every time the car goes over a bump at low speeds.

And finally the rear A/C controls stopped working last week - probably the kids messing with the controls for years.

General comments?

Even after all the gripes - this SUV is very good. I pulled a 3500 lb boat, camped, went to work generally satisfied.

Too bad gas is over 4 bucks per gallon or I would probably buy another one.

I guess my next car will be some crappy 35 mpg shoe box Corolla or Civic.
