But the old one needed a few things before we could sell it. One of which was a new windshield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I took it down to Safelite to get a replacement. The first time I took it in, they couldn&#8217;t replace it. Said something about the camera bracket. So they ordered new glass and I was to bring in the car again later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second time I took it in, they ran into the same issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third time I took it in, they ran into the same issue still. So they called me and said they&#8217;re ordering glass from new distributor and will arrive same day. Lo&#8217;n behold, the glass from the new distributor also didn&#8217;t work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;ve gone through 5 pieces of aftermarket glass at this point and recommended we start a claim with insurance to get OEM glass. So we did that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, they finally got the OEM glass on, but could not re-calibrate it. So they sent us to Acura to get it re-calibrated. We went to Acura, and they also couldn&#8217;t get it re-calibrated. Then out of no where Acura is not saying , you need a new camera, which is going to cost $5k. Even though they were not able to pull a code from the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know I absolutle HATE Acura Seattle. They are literally the worst dealership ever. They&#8217;re so dishonest and always up-charge on service. \/ugh <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, after spending a few hours being a hot potato between insurance and Safelite. I have a new appointment to take the car back to Safelite for them to check out my camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has gone on for way longer than I anticipated. I just want to sell the car &#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\/sigh<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a buncha bitches. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so since we got the new MDX we&#8217;re working on selling the old one.
