2015 Acura TLX Complaint Log

WHEN DRIVING ON A WINDY ROAD AROUND 40MPH THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE CAUSING THE CAR TO SUDDENLY DECELERATE TO 5 MPH WHICH NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. THE CAR THEN STARTED DISPLAYING MULTIPLE ERROR CODES ON THE DASH (ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING PROBLEM).

CONSTANT BATTERY DRAINING FROM UNKNOWN ISSUE WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I AM CURRENTLY ON MY THIRD CAR BATTERY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR IN JANUARY 2016 WITH 108 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN USING A PORTABLE BATTERY JUMPER FOR THE LAST MONTH BECAUSE OF THIS ON GOING ISSUE. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PARKING OVERNIGHT AND HAVE CAUSED A DISTURBANCE IN MY LIFE BEFORE COMMUTING TO AND FROM WORK, ALONG WITH TO COVID19 VACCINATION APPOINTMENTS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT A RED LIGHT WHERE THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSE TO TURN OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER TO BE GAS EFFICIENT. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TURN OF THE FEATURE DUE TO THE CAR DYING COMPLETELY IN AT A RED LIGHT AND CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE CAUSED ADDITIONAL INCONVENIENCE IN MY DAILY COMMUTE. I BELIEVE BOTH ISSUES ARE RELATED AND IT IS AN ISSUE WITH ACURA DUE TO MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHEN I HAVE DONE RESEARCH WITHIN ACURA TLX FORUMS.

ALL OF THE SYSTEMS LIGHTS STARTED CYCLING THROUGH STATING THAT THEY HAD "PROBLEMS." THIS HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, WITH NO WARNING. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED JUST LAST WEEK.

AFTER A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP, I ACCELERATED AND THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON. I PULLED OVER AND HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. CHECK ENGINE WAS FLASHING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, AND PROBLEM WAS GONE ACCELERATION CAME BACK. I MERGE INTO MY LANE AGAIN AND NOT EVEN 100 FT WHEN MY DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. EVERY LIGHT IN MY DASH WAS LIT. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE LIGHTS THAT WERE ON. POWER STEERING PARK CHECK ENGINE ADAPTABLE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM COLLISION SIGN SEATBELT TRACTION CONTROL OIL LIGHT ABS COLLISION LIGHT BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM ACC LKAS VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST THE ISSUE APPEARED TO BE ELECTRICAL SINCE THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE CAR LOOKED OK. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AT 55 MPH SINCE THATS AS FAST AS IT WILL LET ME DRIVE IT. I STOPPED AT A AUTOZONE TO SCAN THE OBD COMPUTER AND JUST A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2 CODE CAME UP WHICH IS STRANGE THAT A MISFIRE WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. NO OTHER CODES CAME OUT. NOTE: CAR HAD NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON BEFORE THIS IN 179,000 MILES WE HAVE OWNED IT. WENT HOME DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY THEN HOOK IT BACK ON. PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IT HASNOT HAPPENED IN 12 HRS. THE ISSUE IS I DONT TRUST THE CAR ANYMORE. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FREEWAY 10 AT 80 MPH WITH TRAFFIC, I WOULD HAVE CAUSE A DEADLY CRASH. THEN I LOOKED ON YOU TUBE AND THERE IS PRACTICALLY DOZENS OF ACURA OWNERS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES, SOME OF THEM AVOIDED CRASHES BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER. DEALERS CANT FIND SOLUTIONS, IN THE COMMENTS SECTION ALL I READ IS PEOPLE ASKING IF SOMEONE FOUND A SOLUTION. SEEMS LIKE HONDA SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT , TO KEEP THEIR COSTUMERS SAFE. HOPE THIS LETTER GETS TO THEM AND NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BEFORE IT TAKES SOMEONE'S LIFE.

I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND I NOTICED PAINT JUST CHIPPING AWAY AS THE WATER HIT IT AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE AND STARTED BOTHERING ME. THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS COLOR BUT JUST NOT FOR THIS MODEL SO THEY WON'T FIX IT UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET !!!

My engine got stalled while driving the car and I have to press on push button to restart the car. It's a safaty issue. I have seen a recall on these and verified if the repair is done and looks like it was repaired back in 2019.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING 55MPH, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT AND GLASS WAS ALL OVER THE SHADE, THANKFULLY THE SHADE WAS CLOSED SO THE GLASS DIDN'T GET ON US OR IN THE CAR, I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON A STREET ENTERING THE CITY

THE TRANSMISSION JERK BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND VERY EXCESSIVELY AND GOING INTO PARK IT'S ROOMY BEFORE COMPLETELY LOCKING IN

THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE I WILL BE DRIVING AND MY CAR SUDDENLY JOLTS AND COASTS TO A STOP. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS BEING PLACED IN NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING BECAUSE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS. IT WILL JUST REV THE ENGINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL TURN ON AS WELL. I TYPICALLY TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR AND THE CAR WILL THEN WORK JUST FINE. THESE INCIDENTS SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.

THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTANTLY SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE GOING UP AN INCLINED ROAD AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THE BACKGROUND OF THE NEUTRAL GEAR "N" INDICATOR WAS YELLOW. ENGINE POWER WAS LOST FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS AND THEN RECOVERED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION. I DON'T RECALL SEEING ANY KIND OF ERROR MESSAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE IT COULD HAVE BEEN MISSED WHILE I WAS FRANTICALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL (16V640000) FOR A SIMILAR CONSEQUENCE WHICH ONLY APPLIES TO SELECT VINS. MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN WORRISOME. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE TRANSMISSION RARELY SHIFTS SMOOTHLY GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD GEARS EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS CORRECTED AT MY AUTO DEALERSHIP. IT IS STILL NOT SATISFACTORY, AND THIS LATEST EPISODE JUST ADDS TO MY CONSTERNATION. ACURA HAS PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE IF IT IS RELATED TO THE ATF WARMER. I EXPRESSED THE ISSUE AND MY CONCERNS WITH ACURA. THE CASE NUMBER IS NOT OFFICIALLY OPEN UNTIL THE ISSUE IS DIAGNOSED BY AN ACURA DEALERSHIP.

ACURA TLX 2015 CONSISTANT DRAINING BATTERY ISSUE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED MARCH 2019 WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, MALFUNCTIONED 9 MONTHS LATER (DEC. 2019) AND WAS FINALLY REPLACED ELSEWHERE FEBRUARY 2020 (DUE TO ONGOING DISPUTE WITH ACURA)... NOW FEBRUARY 2021 THE SAME BATTERY DRAINING ISSUE HAS RETURNED.

THE FOLLOWING WARNING MESSAGES ALL POPED-UP AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET: BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM; BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM; ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM; VIHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM; HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM; LANE KEEPING ASSIST PROBLEM; POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM; HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM; FORWARD COLLISSION WARNING PROBLEM; LANE DEPARTURE ASSIST PROBLEM; THE MESSAGE KEEP ROTATING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE ASSOCIATED DASHBOARD LIGHT REMAINS ON. I SUSPECT THIS MIGHT BE RELATED TO ACURA SERVICE BULLETIN 15-050, BUT I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THIS YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SAFETY WARNING BRAKE LIGHT, LANE DEPARTURE AND STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THEY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER PROCTOR ACURA (3523 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304) WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE REAR ACTUATORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000. *LN*JB VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. CONSUMER STATED DEALER PULLED THE CODES OFF THE VEHICLE SHOWING ONLY WHAT PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT JUMPED BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKES. AFTERWARDS, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE OR PARK. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS CALLED OUT TO THE RESIDENCE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC RETRIEVED A TEMPORARY FAULT CODE OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

THE CAR WILL CLICK WHEN I'M TRYING TO START IT WONT START CHANGED THE BATTER, STARTER. BUT BEFORE THIS THE TAIL LIGHTS WENT OUT THE ALARM BEEPS WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS WONT BEEP AND NOW IT WONT START.

2015 ACURA TLX FREQUENTLY STALLS, DOES NOT RESTART WHEN IDLE STOP FEATURE IS USED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN AT AN INTERSECTION AND I AM STALLED, HAVING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. BROUGHT THE CAR IN TWICE TO ACURA IN 2016 WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN TO ACURA THIS WEEK AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT, INDICATING THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH TLX'S AND MLX'S. SAID REPLACING THE STARTER HELPED ONE CUSTOMER BUT SINCE NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND MY STARTER (AND BATTER AND ALTERNATOR) ALL CHECK OUT FINE, THEY DIDN'T RECOMMEND TRYING THAT. NORMALLY I TURN OFF THE FEATURE (WHICH THEY ARE UNABLE TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE) WHICH IS WHY I HAVEN'T BROUGHT IT BACK IN MORE FREQUENTLY BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING IF I FORGET TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE FEATURE AND IT STALLS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE I 84 IN MY CAR ENGINE STOPPED. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITHOUT POWER STEERING WITHOUT POWER BREAKING AND WHEN I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I TRIED TO START MY CAR IN THE VEHICLE WAS JUST CLICKING. ONCE I GOT THE CAR HOME I TESTED THE BATTERY AND I TESTED THE ALTERNATOR BOTH OF WHICH ARE WORKING FINE THE STARTER SOMEHOW SHUT MY CAR OFF. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS EVERY TIME I USE THE AUTOMATIC ENGINE STOP START AT RED LIGHTS KEEPING ME FROM USING THAT FEATURE OF MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT MY CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO SHIFT CORRECTLY. I PULLED OVER AND ACCELERATED AGAIN. GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND NOTICED THE CAR WASN'T MOVING HARLDY AS I PULLED UP TO PARK. ONCE I PARKED, I PUT IT IN REVERSE TO PULL UP AGAIN AND IT WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND JERKING WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. I DID THIS LIKE 3 TIMES TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. AFTER ABOUT 4 HOURS I WENT TO LEAVE MY DESTINATION AND IT SHIFTED INTO REVERSE JUST FINE. I WAS RELIEVED UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND THEN EVERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE CAR WASN'T ACCELERATING AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE RPM'S WERE GOING UP BUT CAR WAS BARELY MOVING. I MADE IT HOME BUT NOW SICK TO MY STOMACH BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS COULD BE. NOT SURE IF IT NEEDS TO BE TOWED TO A SHOP OR IF I CAN OR SHOULD DRIVE IT IF POSSIBLE.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR TRIPS INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT LET ME CONTINUE ACCELERATING. I CAN PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. THE ONLY WAY IT TRIPS OUT OF NEUTRAL IS TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND THEN PUSH IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ALREADY DRIVING AROUND 10-30MPH NOT FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND WAS ON CITY STREETS. IT DOES ALSO HAPPEN WHEN TURNING.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START AND IT DOESN'T START.

THIS VEHICLE IS SO UNSAFE . I HAD LOTS OF DIFFERENT SITUATIONS HAPPEN AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CHECK IT AND SAY IT'S FINE ! THE VEHICLE STALLS AND HESITATES AND I GET SENSORS GOING OFF CONSTANTLY INCLUDING THE BRAKE SENSOR WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME FOR IT TO GO OFF . I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE GO IN PARK BY ITSELF WHILE ON A LIGHT. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START AND ALWAYS NEEDS A JUMP I GOT THE BATTERY CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY BATTERY IS GOOD AND I HAVE TO CHARGE IT . I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE . MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES I HAVE ALL MY MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON TIME I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THINKING IT'S RELIABLE BEING I'M A MOTHER OF TWO KIDS!

SEVERAL TIMES, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON THE CAR TO CHECK ALL OF THE SYSTEMS AND THEN THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS MID DRIVE MOSTLY WHILE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD BUT SOMETIMES ON A MAJOR PARKWAY. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START THE CAR OR CHANGE GEAR WHILE IT WAS SHUT OFF. I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW SEVERAL 2015 ACURAS WERE RECALLED WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. I HAVE PICTURES THAT I TOOK WHEN IT WAS LAST FLASHING IF THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

CAR WON'T CRANK AND WON'T START. ENDED UP STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS WHILE OUT SHOPPING. EACH TIME STRANDED, THE CAR WOULD START AFTER BEING JUMPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE EACH TIME. AFTER THE FIRST ACCOUNT OF BEING STRANDED AND JUMPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR BATTERY WAS TESTING "VERY GOOD" AND THEY SAID MY BATTERY WOULD RECHARGE ITSELF AND THAT THE DRAINAGE COULD BE DUE TO THE HOT TEXAS WEATHER. NOT SO MUCH THE CASE AS I ENDED UP STRANDED TWO DAYS AFTER THAT, ONCE AGAIN. THEN, A WEEK OR SO LATER, ON ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF BEING STRANDED AND JUMPED STARTED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, I DROVE TO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM TEST MY BATTERY TO FIND THAT IT THEN TOO TESTED "VERY GOOD." AUTOZONE SUGGESTED THAT I PURCHASE A PORTABLE CAR CHARGER, SO I DID. CAME TO FIND OUT THAT UPON BEING STRANDED THE FOURTH TIME, THE PORTABLE CHARGER WAS UNABLE TO GET ME JUMPED/STARTED. SO, I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TRIED USING "THEIR" PORTABLE CAR CHARGER BUT FAILED TO WORK. SO THE REP PULLED OUT HIS JUMPER CABLES AND WAS ABLE TO JUMP MY CAR AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AT THAT POINT, I WENT BACK TO AUTOZONE AND DECIDED TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR BATTERY EVEN THOUGH MY EXISTING BATTERY TESTED "VERY GOOD" ONCE AGAIN. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT, MY SRS AIRBAG LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE THEN. IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE I'VE HAD THE NEW BATTER INSTALLED AND I'M NOW STRANDED AGAIN. I'VE SEEN WAY TOOO MANY POSTS WITH OTHER FOLKS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!!!

CAR IS NOT STARTING. BATTERY DRAINAGE MAY BE ISSUE.

MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, DROPPING SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER ME

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAILURE DO NOT WANT TO GO IN REVERSE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS 2015 TLX ALWAYS TAKES TO DEALERSHIP EVEN CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FUILD A YEAR AGO NOW HAVING ISSUES. NO ONE ELSE HAS TOUCH THIS VEHICLE ONLY ACURA DEALERSHIP.

WHEN THE CAR RUNNING ON NORMAL SPEED AND PRESS BRAKE FOR SLOWING THE CAR TRY TO JUMP AND THE RPM FREAKS OUT

I TURNED OFF MY CAR FOR A MOMENT WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START BACK UP IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL.

CAR STALLED WHILE STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT TWICE IN TWO WEEKS. BOTH TIMES CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

THE VEHICLE HAS REAR STEERING PAWS. WHEN VEHICLE WAS ON A TIRE SHOP LIFT THE REAR SUSPENSION INSPECTED. THE REAR WHEELS HAVE SIDE TO SIDE PLAY. NO UP AND DOWN MOVEMENT THOUGH. FEEL LIKE A BAD WHEEL BEARING WHEN MOVING SIDE TO SIDE. THE REAR ACTUATORS ON BOTH SIDES MOVE. DEALER SAID NORMAL. MY CAR SHAKES ALL THE TIME. DEALER SAID NORMAL. PEOPLE ON ACURA FORUM. SAID EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. IF THEY MOVE THE CAR IN S GOING TO SHAKE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE. ACURA WON'T DO ANYTHING. CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ONLY 40,000 ON CAR.

AFTER REPLACING MY BATTERY ON MY 2015 TLX I STARTED RECEIVING WARNING CODES SAYING EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM AND ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM. I WENT TO 3 DIFFERENT ACURA DEALERSHIPS FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND WAS GIVEN A DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS FROM EACH DEALERSHIP. I FIRST SEEN THE CODES AS I WAS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH 1 WEEK AFTER GETTING A NEW BATTERY.

THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE ACURA THAT DEALS WITH ISSUES CAUSING RATTLING OR VIBRATIONS FELT IN THE FLOOR AND FRONT SEATS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN 16-009 AFFECTS 2015 ACURA TLX AWD MODELS WITH THE VIN 19UUB3F.. FA000001-FA004363. THE PROBABLE CAUSE IS THAT THERE MAY BE AN ASSEMBLY IMBALANCE BETWEEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THE PROPELLER SHAFT. THE SERVICE BULLETIN 16-057 AFFECTS ALL 2015-2016 V6 MODELS WITH ALL VIN NUMBERS. POSSIBLE CAUSE IS THE SUBFRAME BUSHING MATERIALS LACKS ABSORPTION ABILITY, CAUSING THE ENERGY FROM THE REAR WHEELS TO BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE FLOOR AND SEAT. BOTH SERVICE BULLETINS ARE NOT RECALLS EVEN THOUGH THEY AFFECT SPECIFIC CARS AND EVEN ALL MODELS ON ONE CAR. ALL COSTS COME OUT OF POCKET FOR ACURA OWNERS.

THE PAINT IS STARTING TO PEEL ABOVE THE REAR WINDSHIELD IN BETWEEN THE GAP.

I bought the car July of last year (2020) and noticed the car was a bit jerky when I accelerated from a complete stop. But as I started to drive the car more I noticed it was jerky shifting from 2nd to 3rd gears. Its a violent jerk. Everyone in the car whiplashes when it happens. When I go downhill and press on the brakes to slow down it gets a sudden burst of speed and doesn't slow down but goes faster even when pushing on the brake. On the dashboard I have multiple lights that won't turn off. The lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, forward collision warning as well. I havent gone to the dealership or have had checked out by Acura or anyone just yet. But I know other people have the same exact problems and its a real danger to drive and these things happen on a daily basis. Im sure its something with the transmission and something needs to happen because I love this car and worried about safety of me and others out on the road

TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN DRIVING ITS TOTALLY UN SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

ON JUNE 7TH 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR , IT STARTED TO SHAKE. AS I STARTED TO DRIVE BACK HOME TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON ALL THE PROBLEMS SHOWED UP IN THE SCREEN . I HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY EMERGENCY HAZARD LIGHTS ON BECAUSE I COULDN'T GO MORE THEN 25 MPH OR IT WOULD SHAKE EVEN MORE . WE HAVE AT LEAST 12 PICTURES OF WHAT'S SHOWING IN THE SCREEN . WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO UPLOAD ONE .

SOY BASED WIRING PLACED IN VEHICLE BY ACURA MANUFACTURE CAUSES AN ATTRACTION TO RODENTS, SQUIRRELS, MICE TO EAT THE WIRES. THE RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO THE TASTE OF THE MATERIAL. SINCE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR 2020 I HAVE SUSTAINED DAMAGE THREE TIMES TO MY 2015 ACURA TLX WHICH COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS SOY BASED MATERIAL IS BEING PLACED IN THE NEWER MODELS TO SAVE ON COST FOR THE MANUFACTURER, BUT LEAVE COSTUMERS, LIKE MYSELF, AT A DEFICIT OF MONEY AND TIME FOR REPAIRS. IT IS ALSO UNSAFE, BECAUSE ONE NEVER KNOWS WHEN THE CAR WILL STOP RUNNING OR IF IT WILL EVEN START. I HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY THIS IN JANUARY OF 2020, MARCH 2020 AND AGAIN IN MAY 2020. I ALSO OWN A 2015 HONDA ACCORD AND MY HUSBAND A 2009 TOYOTA THAT ARE PARKED IN THE SAME AREA AND NO SUCH DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED TO THESE OLDER MODEL CARS. THE CORPORATE OFFICE IS AWARE OF THE SOY BASED MATERIAL, BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IF THIS SOY BASED MATERIAL WAS NOT PUT IN THE CARS TO BEGIN WITH THEN RODENTS WOULD NOT BE ATTRACTED. MY OLDER CARS STAND AS A TESTAMENT AS WELL AS MY NEIGHBORS CARS THAT ARE NOT AFFECTED. THERE ARE OTHER NEWER MAKES OF VEHICLES THAT ARE NOTED IN RESEARCH THAT ARE BEING EATEN BY RODENTS DUE TO SOY. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TIME AND MONEY AND WAS NEVER DISCLOSE TO ME UPON PURCHASE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONSIDER THIS A DANGER TO MYSELF BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF OR WHEN THE CAR WOULD STOP WHILE I'M DRIVING. I FOUND OUT ALL THREE TIMES UPON ATTEMPTING TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK. I GOT MESSAGES THAT TOLD ME TO "PARK THE CAR, CHECK ENGINE, CHECK TRANSMISSION"... I CONSIDER THIS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND WHILE I MAKE CAR PAYMENTS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. MY CAR IS A 2015 ACURA TLX THAT I JUST PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF 2019 CERTIFIED PREOWNED. THIS SOY BASED MATERIAL IS TASTY TO RODENT AND IS CAUSING THEM TO EAT AT MY WIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) AND THE PRECISION ALL WHEEL STEER SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGES ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE MOTIVE POWER WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,571.

I BOUGHT A USED ACURA TLX WITH 83000 MILES ON IT .. I DROVE IT 1500 MILES IT START SHIFTING HARD . THE BMV USED DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT. IT WORKED FOR 700 MILES NOW IT SHIFTS HARD AGAIN WORST, AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX IT

NOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS CROSSED 30K MILES THE POWER TRAIN IS NOW NOT AS RESPONSIVE AND I'M SOME SITUATIONS AGGRESSIVELY JERKS THE CAR FORWARD WHEN DOWNSHIFTING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMING THE A STOP. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING FROM A COMPETE STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKS BACK AS THE TRANSMISSION UP SHIFTS FOR THE NEXT GEAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. THE ENGINE APPEARS TO GO TO AN IDLE SPEED FOR 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR ACCELERATES. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE LOCAL DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY (AND ACURA) ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SENT THEM VIDEO OF THE TACHOMETER DROPPING TO ~900RPM WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THEY STATE THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES OR INFORMATION THAT INDICATES ANYTHING IS WRONG. THIS SEEMS TO MATCH SAFETY PROBLEMS 11121786, 10775339, 10695446, AND 10694812. ANOTHER PROBLEM THE VEHICLE HAS IS A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. SHIFTING TO A DIFFERENT GEAR MAKES THE SHUDDER GO AWAY. DEALER STATES THIS IS JUST HOW THE TRANSMISSION WORKS. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AROUND 51K MILES. OLD TRANSMISSION DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID A FLUID CHANGE MIGHT HELP. IT DID NOT.

WHILE DRIVING/ACCELERTING ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO A HIGHWAY, HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 55 DEGREES, CLEAR SKIES. APPROX SPEED 40MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE GLASS SUNROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT IMPACT. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A CLEAR DAY WITH WEATHER TEMPERATURES OF 60 DEGREES. THE LOCAL DEALER SERRAMONTE ACURA (475 SERRAMONTE BLVD, COLA CA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ADMISSION AND THE CHECK PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS (SCANLON ACURA LOCATED AT 14270 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, FORT MYERS, FL 33912) BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NORRIS ACURA LOCATED AT 8559 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, ELLICOTT CITY, MD 21043, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SEVERAL WIRING HARNESSES INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RODENT DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

ACURA TLX 2015 CONSISTANT DRAINING BATTERY ISSUE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED MARCH 2019 WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, MALFUNCTIONED 9 MONTHS LATER AND WAS FINALLY REPLACED ELSEWHERE FEBRUARY 2020 (DUE TO ONGOING DISPUTE WITH ACURA)... NOW FEBRUARY 2021 THE SAME BATTERY DRAINING ISSUE HAS RETURNED.

THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO NEUTRAL AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM JOHN EAGLE ACURA AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND STARTER ON THE CAR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER PRUCHASE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO SWITCH GEARS ON ITS OWN AND SHUTS OFF! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. PLEASE BEAWARE THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!!!

STARTING IN NOV 2019 MY ACURA TLX STARTED TO SPONTANEOUSLY DECELERATE AND LOSE ENGINE POWER WHEN IN MOTION. ERROR CODE OF P0087 WAS PROVIDED BY ACURA OF MILFORD, CT AND WAS HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE OF REPLACING HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THE ENGINE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED IN EARLY DEC 2019 HOWEVER THE CAR CONTINUED WITH LOSS OF POWER, TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE, POOR ACCELERATION AND MULTIPLE WARNINGS ILLUMINATED. ACURA OF MILFORD WAS CONTACTED AND THEY NOTED IT MAY BE THE OTHER FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SECOND IN TANK FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED MID DEC 2019 WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO ACURA DEC 31, 2019 AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE FOUND, THEY RESET THE P0087 CODE AND DID A HARD RESET. THE CAR STILL CONTINUED WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT NOW WITH A HUMMING NOISE PRESENT. IN FEB 2020, THE FUEL RAIL AND SENSOR WAS REPLACED, YET STILL NO IMPROVEMENT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO ACURA AND ONCE AGAIN THEY RESET THE ERROR CODE AND NOTED THEY ONLY FOUND CORROSION NEAR THE SENSOR AND THEY CLEANED IT OFF. CAR WAS DRIVING MUCH WORSE NOW AND IF IT LOSS POWER IT WOULD NOT START UP UNLESS CRANKED 15-25 TIMES IN A 10 MIN WINDOW. MARCH 2020 THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED AND THE CAR IS STILL NOT DRIVING RIGHT, ALL SYMPTOMS STILL PRESENT AND THE HUMMING NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER. THIS CAR HAS LOSS POWER WHILE IN MOTION RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, BOTH ON STREET AND MOST DANGEROUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY, EMBARRASSING BUT THANKFUL TO SOME GOOD SAMARITANS THAT HAVE EXITED THEIR VEHICLE TO PUSH ME SAFETY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ACURA CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS YET JUST RESETS THE ERROR CODE AND SENDS ME ON MY WAY TO CALL IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY SINCE NOV 2019 AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE ISSUE IS, EVEN AFTER I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THIS CAR BASED OFF THEIR GUESSES.

ON NOV 18, 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROX 65 MPH THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY FLASHED ALL PRESET EMERGENCY ALERTS ON THE DASHBOARD CONTINUOUSLY. AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT USING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND TENSION WAS FELT. THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC FORCING MYSELF TO PULL OVER AND EVACUATE ONTO THE NEAREST EXIT RAMP. ONCE THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP OFF THE FREEWAY THE VEHICLE KEPT ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN 'NEUTRAL' WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK SO I COULD ALLOW FOR A SAFE SHUT OFF. UPON STOPPING AND THEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO DISPLAY IN A REPETITIVE PATTERN ALL THE PRESET WARNINGS/ALERTS. UPON SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY A SECOND TIME THE ALERTS NO LONGER DISPLAYED AND FLASHED REPETITIVELY ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE PLACED IN REVERSE THEN DRIVE WITHOUT NORMALLY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN 2 WEEKS. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ACURA ELK GROVE I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $195 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST SINCE THE CAR HAD SURPASSED 50K MILES AND NO LONGER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY ACURA ELK GROVE FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING APPROX 45MPH ON A CITY STREET REQUIRING ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE CAR DECELERATED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT USE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM FIRST INTO SECOND GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JOE RIZZA ACURA (8150 W 159TH ST, ORLAND PARK, IL 60462, (708) 403-7770) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V640000 (POWER TRAIN). AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER TWICE, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.
