I just brought my new Acura TL with the technology package home from the dealer tonight. It drove home fine. When I got home and parked it in the driveway, the car started to have a mind of its own . It started beeping like crazy, all of the warning lights started going on and off, the radio continued to go on and off, the lights flickered, and the navigation screen went on and off. The when I tried to start it (with the push button start) the car would not start, but instead, I heard several clicks. Could somebody tell me what is going on?

Sounds like the alarm system. Read the manual on how to start the car.

Check to make sure the battery terminals are tight. Same thing happened to my car. When the cars are shipped and stored before they go the the dealers lot, they disconnect and reconnect the battery so often, they don't bother to tighten them, they just push them on the battery, then pull them off by hand when needed. If that's not it, call the dealer and ask them to send someone or have them tow it back and fix it at their expense.

OMG! I sooooooo envy you right now??? I SUPPOSE to get one in December! Try reading the manual though...

Why are you worrying about it, it's under warranty. Call the dealer and have them tow it in.

It sounds like a battery problem. Try disconnecting it and reconnecting it (you'll have to enter your radio and navigation codes, so make sure you have them handy before you do this). If that doesn't fix it, take it back to your dealer.
