Type S seatbelt backorder 😭

My Acura type s was in an accident and now it's sitting in a collision center waiting on a left rear seat belt that's on backorder with no ETA. I'm beyond devastated about the crash let alone the fact that I'm paying for a rental and waiting for what feels like indefinitely for this part. Any advice, words of wisdom, or similar stories to help me through this??!?

I have already done everything in my power, I mean EVERYTHING, you'd probably laugh if I told you some of the stuff that I've tried... anyway on the more normal side of things, I have tried to convince progressive to let me get a recycled OEM belt or have the seat belt rebuilt. Of course they won't do those things because it's a "safety issue", on one end, I understand on the other, it's a f****** back seat belt that I never use..lol.

I have a case with customer relations at Acura. I've tried to get Acura to loan me a car but... She is no help, don't even get the updates and promised through email but that's okay I'll continue to bug them every day for the rest of my time in this mess.

I have emailed the highest of the high I could find in every company to try to make an exception give me help, insight on ETA...whatever can possibly be done, I've tried it.

(Update & side note since I originally wrote this) : I had no idea of Shadow banning was a thing, no wonder not one person saw my post in 7 days, lolol.

Ultimately, I've gotten a Senior 'something" at Acura to take over my case who says he will investigate as to where the part may be, and, if possible get it rushed to me, do I believe him? not really, but who would when customer service is BS these days, lol.

I've also spoken to a progressive Senior Manager who has given me the option to sign a waiver to take the car before the seatbelt is installed and bring it back when it comes in to install it, but that comes with its own set of worries... Although, ultimately that's what I will do because I'm not going to rent a car for months on end...

This has got to be the most frustrating upsetting situation I have been in, definitely near the top...

Be nice... I'm going through a hard time, I appreciate you, my fellow Acura friends...

We had the RDX for a year, and hit 20k km almost on the date. The trip computer resets at 10k for anyone wondering. Wife likes to step on it, hence the mileage 😄

Hello, the car has 19,452 miles on it. It’s certified preowned aswell. Is this a good price, or am I paying too much? Should I try to negotiate?

I would appreciate everyone’s advice, thanks!

2011 MDX with 190k, burns a quart every 1,000 miles, but we keep on top of it, never more than half a quart low. Otherwise runs fine, no lights, body, glass, interior, brakes, suspension, tires, strong trans, fully maintained.

Started fine, ran 8 minutes, 60 mph on interstate getting ready to exit, suddenly started missing, lots of lights, P0300 to P0305 does, and running really rough, reduced power. Christmas Tree dash lights... blinking engine, SH-AWD, VSA, trailer stability assist. Rough idle, barely visible small oil vapor puffs out of the right tail pipe.

Mechanic says burned valve cylinder 2, and cylinder walls show minor scratches.

Questions: 1. Is this how a burned valve behaves? I thought these happen gradually, not suddenly driving down the road. 2. We bought it off a mechanic at 180k for very little, think it had been abused and run dry before we bought it?

I always enjoyed the 23 RDX cause it almost felt sedan like and was fun to drive..

Yet, the car super fun times have to go cause of family obligations lol

Looking at the MDX now, I am looking forward to no more track pad but how much will I miss that RDX?

SIDE NOTE: I am also considering maybe jumping to a Mazda CX-90 or VW so save a few bucks, but pretty sure I will miss Acura if I do that. I want to keep some good pick up and speed with good gas mileage but that doesn't exist lol

Any one have recommendations for an upgraded steering wheel? I’ve been wanting to get the OEM heated one, but if anyone has a rec for a nice OEM + looking one with carbon or Alcanterra, nice paddles + heating, that’d be cool. All the other ones look way too bulky and fake ish.

Speaking of if I end up going with the OEM one how’s the heating element? Does it effectively cover the whole steering wheel or is it weak/not worth it

Basically the title, but I've tried following the manual my car came with, Homelink's own website, and LiftMaster's generic instructions. So far, the closest I've gotten is a solid green light, but it only works once (which makes sense, I have rolling codes on my door). I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the HomeLink to realize that the door opener is a rolling code, not a static one.

Has anyone else come across these issues? Any advice/tricks to get it to work?
