  ACURA TSX MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 56K. THE PROBLEM CAUSED A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION CASE WHILE IN GEAR. NOISE GOES AWAY WHEN CLUTCH IS PRESSED IN. I AM 6K OVER MY WARRANTY AND THE DEAL IS STILL GOING TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY QUOTED AT $4500.00 TO REPLACE. I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING THE COST OF THE CLUTCH $400. I READ ONE OTHER INSTANCE WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH A TSX OWNER. *JB

  CENTRE STACK LIGHTS OUT (RADIO, HEATER/AC UNIT) ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH MANY OTHER 2004 AND 2005 TSX OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE PRINTED CIRCUT BOARD. ALTHOUGH ACURA HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN, AND SUPPOSEDLY INCREASED WARRENTY PERIOD FTO 100K OR 7 YEARS, THERE WAS NO NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS. MY 2004 TSX BEGUN EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM AT 123K, SO I'M OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WILL MOST LIKLY HAVE TO FORK OVER $2,400 TO HAVE THE CENTER STACK REPLACED. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND FORCE ACURA TO REPLACE FOR FREE AS THE PROBELM APPEARS TO PRESENT ITSELF SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

• 12/13/2009· STEERING

  ON NOVEMBER 28, 2009 I NOTICED THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE MOTOR OF MY 2004 ACURA TSX. WHEN I RAISED THE HOOD, I FOUND LIQUID LEAKING ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF MY MOTOR. I HAVE A 4 CYLINDER TSX. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED MY OIL AND FOUND I WAS LOW SO I THOUGHT THE HOSE WAS PART OF MY OIL DELIVERY SYSTEM (BECAUSE I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE MOTOR AREA OF MY VEHICLE). I IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY SERVICE GARAGE (NOT AN ACURA DEALER BUT WORKED FOR ACURA FOR MANY YEARS) AND HE TOLD ME MY OIL WAS NOT A PROBLEM, THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING HOSE THAT WAS LEAKING FLUID ON MY MOTOR. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE TLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM UPON HIS RECOMMENDATION, I CALLED MY LOCAL ACURA DEALER AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE JIMMY THOMAS ON DECEMBER 1 AND HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME OTHER THAN ORDER THE PART AND REPLACE IT CHARGING FULL PRICE OF LABOR AND PARTS. MY ACURA IS ONE OF HIGHER MILEAGE THAN USUAL (126,000) BECAUSE IT WAS USED BY A PHARMACEUTICAL REPRESENTATIVE BEFORE I OWNED IT BUT ANYHOW I STILL BELIEVE MY HOSE WAS PROBABLY MADE FROM THE SAME DEFECTIVE MATERIAL THAT THE TLS WERE. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FOR ACURA AND TALKED WITH ANDREA (WHO ALSO TOLD ME SHE WAS THE MANAGER ON DUTY) AND SHE KEPT REPEATING TO ME THAT SINCE MY MODEL WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, I WAS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS RELATED TO THIS REPAIR ESPECIALLY SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WAS A "HIGH MILEAGE" CAR. I OWNED A 1997 ACURA 2.5TL BEFORE THIS ONE AND TRADED IT IN ON THIS ONE WHEN IT HAD 230,000 MILES ON IT AND I NEVER HAD ONE DAY TROUBLE OUT OF IT SO I DIDN'T NOT TAKE THAT AS A CORRECT RESPONSE. I ASKED HER WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER FOR ACURA TO PAY A SMALL FEE NOW INSTEAD OF LARGER FEE IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT AND SHE KEPT REPEATING TO ME THAT MY MODEL HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED AND IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. SO I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

• 12/10/2010· STEERING

  WHILE DRIVING I NOTICE THAT THE POWER STEERING STARTED TO GET STIFF. WHILE DRIVING FURTHER THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. TURNING WAS EXTREMELY HARD. THE HOSE WAS JUST REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL, 3 MONTHS LATER POWER STEERING PUMP WAS SEALED DUE TO A LEAK, A MONTH LATER POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THIS WAS LEAST EXPECTED ESPECIALLY WHEN HAVING THOSE SERVICES DONE WHICH POSES A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT STEERING RACK IS LEAKING FROM SEALS AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I DON'T THINK THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION SHOULD HAPPEN TO A CAR OF THIS AGE AND MILEAGE.

• 12/02/2021· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

  This vehicle was taken in for a recall for a corrosive ECM. 1 hour prior to taking this vehicle in my assigned service writer gave me a call, your vehicle is ready for pick up. I was advised due to their visual inspection of the ECM( Electronic control module)(electrical computer) not having corrosion, they will not change the unit but they have decided to replace the cover on the unit. I've filed a concerning complaint to Acura headquarters due to my knowledge of cars to have it on file what was told to me before receiving the vehicle. Due to my knowledge a faulty ECM can trigger numerous faults within the vehicles performance.Prior to bringing the vehicle to the dealership, I've been experiencing heavy misfires, poor radio connection, no interior lights and triggered headlights. I've replaced the necessary mechanics that would normal be the cause of these issues and the problem was still existing. The last option was the ECM,which fueled my search of a recall on these models for a faulty ECM. A few weeks later I've contacted another dealership in hopes they would take care of the problem, the representative was polite and reassured me the recall was suppose to be replaced with a new unit under manufacturer policy. However this could not be done because the previous dealer has marked the vehicle as a completed task. So I filed another complaint and have not received any further notice regarding my concern. A few weeks later I had the vehicle diagnosed and realized the ECM was never replaced nor removed out of the vehicle for inspection. Pictures and video where taken of this unit,as you can see the build up of dirt and dust from its original installment back in 2004. Later reading the review of that specific dealership, I've learned their has been numerous complaints regarding poor service at that locations service department.

WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $150 JUST TO DIAGNOSIS IT. RECENTLY WE LEARNED THAT ACURA EXTENDED WARRANTY SOME YEARS BACK TO FIX IT HOWEVER WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED (WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS). NOW WE HAVE PASSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME (7 YEARS). WE FEEL IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THE ISSUE BY ACURA AND THAT AS SUCH ACURA SHOULD STILL BE LIABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR

IT IS OBVIOUS THERE IS A DEFECT WITH EITHER THE AIRBAG ITSELF OR THE SENSORS. 3) TUSTIN ACURA (IN TUSTIN, CA) REFUSED TO COVER MY AIRBAGS UNDER MY WARRANTY AND MADE ME GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE TO GET IT FIXED. IT IS NOW BEING CONSIDERED AN AT FAULT "COLLISION" WHEN I DIDN'T SEE WHAT THEY SAY I MUST HAVE HIT AND I DID NOT FEEL OR HEAR ANY IMPACT.

• 10/15/2021· STEERING

  Power Steering Hose Leak. I took my vehicle in to have the oil changed and mechanics noticed a power steering leak. The mechanic looked up any recalls on my vehicle and noted this was a previous recall. Upon searching, 2010 there was a bulletin that went out, and the car was taken in 2010 and inspected and released. Upon further searching the other day there was a 2018 release and update of the same bulletin, which I never received. Regardless of it being inspected in 2010 and being cleared to drive, it seems this issue ultimately ended up happening, just now, instead of 2010. When I contacted Acura they said there are no current vin associated recalls on my vehicle. My issue is, just because it was 10 years ago w/no issue doesn’t mean the issue doesn’t exist today, which it does. I’ve gotten no help from Acura on this. Any information you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'VE SEEN SEVERAL REPORTED CASES WHERE THE STEERING RACK REQUIRES REPLACING IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND ALL CASES WERE AT OR BELOW 100K. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SEVERAL ACURAS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE A FEW RELATED TSBS FOR POWER STEERING, BUT NO RECALL OR FURTHER ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DATE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE THAT REQUIRES ATTENTION. NO VEHICLE'S STEERING OR RELATED PARTS SHOULD FAIL SO SOON.

  2004 ACURA TSX 61K MILES, COOLING SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. I WAS JUST DRIVING LOCALLY WHEN I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE. ON SOME INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT THAT THE NOISE COMES ONLY WHEN THE A/C IS TURNED ON. TOOK IT TO A DEALER (POHANKA ACURA, CHANTILLY VA) AND THEY SAID SOME PART WITHIN A/C COMPRESSOR HAS EXPLODED AND THERE ARE METAL PIECES ALL OVER THE A/C SYSTEM AND THAT THE ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4500. THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR THE 2004 ACURA TSX'S. I PUT ON VERY LESS MILES ON THE CAR PER YEAR AND MAINTAINED IT PERFECTLY (PERIODIC MAINTENANCE, REGULAR OIL CHANGES). HOW CAN ACURA NOT ISSUE A RECALL OR ASSIST OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM? THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR, NOR WOULD THEY TALK TO ACURA TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION. I JUST SPENT ABOUT $750 TO REPLACE A FAILER SENSOR TO MAKE THE AIR BAG CHECK LIGHT GO AWAY. I DID NOT EXPECT THIS FROM ACURA! I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE ALL MY FRIENDS ARE WARNED ABOUT THE POOR QUALITY OF ACURA ENGINEERING AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE TRICK PART OF IT IS THAT EVERYTHING FALLS APART RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD (50K) IS OVER. WELL, ACURA HAS GOT BRIGHT ENGINEERING MINDS TO MAKE THE PARTS LAST FOR 50K MILES. *TR

AS A RESULT, THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS NOTED BY STEVE GREINER IN THE RALLYE ACURA SERVICE DEPT. THAT THE BLOWN ENGINE WAS BY NO MEANS AS THE RESULT OF MY DRIVING. HE STATED THAT AS THE CAR HAD A COMPUTER THAT DOCUMENTS THE EVENTS, AND IT WAS CLEAR THAT THERE WAS SOME SORT OF DEFECT IN THE ENGINE THAT WAS PRESENT WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BY MYSELF. AND THE EVENTS WERE NOT THE RESULT OF MY DRIVING BEHAVIOR AND ALSO NOT THE RESULT OF ANYTHING ON THE HIGHWAY THAT MAY HAVE BOUNCED UP UNDER THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME ON JUNE 29TH, 2005, AFTER BEING OUT OF SERVICE FOR 19 CALENDAR DAYS, BY THE RALLYE ACURA SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS, IT WAS NOTED ON JULY 9TH, 2005, THAT THE TSX WAS LEAKING OIL. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE RALLYE ACURA DEALERSHIP, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PART MISSING THAT HAD NOT BEEN INSTALLED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. IT WAS NOT UNTIL 8:30AM AUGUST 3RD, 2005, THAT I WAS TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN FOR REPAIRS. WHEN I ARRIVED BACK AT 4PM LATER THAT AFTERNOON (WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULED PICKUP TIME ON THAT SAME DAY) TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART HAD BEEN PUT INTO THE CAR, BUT THAT IT WAS STILL LEAKING OIL. THE CAR REMAINED THERE FROM AUGUST 3RD THROUGH AUGUST 4TH, 2005. LEAVING THE CAR OUT OF SERVICE FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO CALENDAR DAYS. AS OF AUGUST 17TH, IT IS TOO EARLY TO TELL IF THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER OIL LEAKS AND/OR PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD BY MR. GREINER IN THE RALLYE ACURA SERVICE DEPT. THAT THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SENT TO THE FACTORY. THERE, THE ENGINE WOULD BE TAKEN APART IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE.*AK

• 08/11/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  CENTER STACK HVAC LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I'VE READ COUNTLESS THREADS & FORUMS THAT STATE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.IT DOES POSE A SAFETY ISSUE, I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED, HOWEVER, NO ONE WAS NOTIFIED & I PURCHASED THIS CAR AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED FOR THE CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS. THEY STOPPED WORKING AT 106K MILES. IN THE DAYTIME OR DARK YOU CANNOT READ THE CLIMATE CONTROL OR RADIO CONTROL OR CLOCK DISPLAY. YOU CONSTANTLY FIDGET IN THE DARK TRYING TO SEE IF YOU'RE PRESSING THE PROPER BUTTON TO DEFROST WINDOWS OR TURN THE HEAT OR AIR ON. TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO FIDGET WITH YOUR BROKEN RADIO IS THE SAME THING AS TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR A CELL PHONE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL YET? ONLY OPTION IS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $1200 FOR A KNOWN FAULT IN THEIR DESIGN. PART TO REPLACE YOURSELF HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. RECALL NEEDED.

• 08/02/2018· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  THE PROBLEM: WHEN IT IS HOT THE CAR START LOSING POWER, AND VSA LIGHT COMES UP. THEN THE GAUGE CLUSTER START DOING INTERMITTENT SHUTDOWNS OF THE RPM AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES. ADDITIONAL TO THAT, THE A/C SHUT DOWN AND BLOW HOT AIR. ACURA DIAGNOSTIC: JOHN EAGLE ACURA HAD THE CAR TO CHECK THE PROBLEM. DURING THE TEST IN HOT TEMPERATURE, THEY FOUND THERE IS A PROBLEM OF ECU COMMUNICATION IN THE F-CAN. THERE ARE 3 MAIN THINGS THAT COMMUNICATE WITH ECU THOUGH THE F-CAN: ONE IS THE GAUGE CLUSTER WHICH I REPLACED, THE SECOND WAS THE VSA MODULATOR WHICH WAS DISCONNECTED TO TEST, AND THE THIRD ONE WAS THE RADIO SYSTEM THAT WAS ALSO DISCONNECTED, AND THE RESULTS WERE THE SAME (DAMAGED). ACCORDING TO ACURA ENGINEERS, AFTER PROCEEDING WITH ALL THESE STEPS THE SOLUTION IS REPLACING ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU). ACURA FAKE RECALL: LAST DECEMBER I TOOK MY CAR TO AN ACURA DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A BULLETIN FOR A RECALL FOR ACURA TSX; THIS RECALL WAS ABOUT ECU CORROSION AND IT SPECIFICALLY SAY THAT IT IS GOING TO BE DETAILED CHECKED AND TESTED AND IF ANY PROBLEM WAS PRESENTED IT COULD ALSO BE REPLACED WITHOUT NO COST. WELL, WHAT THEY DID WAS PUT A PIECE OF PLASTIC COVER ON TOP OF THE ECU TO COVER THE CORROSION THAT THE ECU ALREADY HAD, AND 4 MONTH LATER THESE PROBLEMS COME UP. THEREFORE, I CALLED ACURA AND ASK THEM TO MAKE A FOLLOW UP OF THIS RECALL AND WHAT THEY ANSWER WAS THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE, AND THEY CANNOT DO THE RECALL TWICE AND THAT THEY FEEL REALLY SORRY. CONCLUSION: ACURA DO NOT WANT TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PROBLEMS AND THEY WANT TO STILL HIDING PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED ACURA DIAGNOSTIC. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER TO AVOID OTHER PERSONS GETTING THIS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
