Common Legend problem areas:
Rear tranny mount
Drivers door lock actuator
Radiator top tank cracking
VSS
Master cylinder after 90K
Working at an Acura dealership, I've also noticed inner tie rods tend to go fairly early on these cars as well.
Rust is also an issue with any older Honda in the snow belt.
