'06 TL NAV, stock, took delivery in 02/06 if that helps and it has about
17,500 miles on the clock, twice in the past month and a half my battery has
punted, once leaving the starter clicking and once enough to turn the
starter over but not fast enough to catch any spark I guess.  The first time
I had to use AAA so I didn't even look at the battery, this weekend it
happened again and I popped the cover to throw my trickle charger on it and
noticed quite a bit of corrosion on the terminals.  That is one problem, the
other problem is since it's been cold I've had a problem with the passenger
side window, when I lower it, it takes quite a bit of fiddling to get it to
close back up, it will make it about halfway and then just start closing on
it's own.  It usually takes a dozen or so tries to get it to fully close.  I
brought the car in for service today and they found nothing in regards to
either problem, although they did clean the terminals.  The battery was
fine, the charging system was fine and of course they couldn't duplicate the
window issue which shouldn't surprise me but it did because even when I left
the dealer I tried the window on the way home and on the first try the
window gave me a hard time.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Are you in warranty and in North America?

Yes and yes, Connecticut to be specific.

I have seen something similar.  We have an '06 Ody with about 30k.  The auto
slide doors would close sometimes and sometimes not; this went on for about
2 months.   Eventually wouldn't start the car.  Took it to the dealer, all
is fine for a few days, then dead again.  As easy as these cars are to
start, we couldn't notice a down battery until is was totally dead.  The
electric seat warmer was the last straw.  Had the dealership replace the
battery and all is well.

You might want to write Acura about the problem since I doubt the dealer
will do much for you.
