  2010 ACURA TSX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VSA LIGHT ISSUES. *SMD THE DEALER FOUND THE WHEEL SENSOR ON THE LEFT FRONT WAS BAD, DUE TO INTERNAL FAILURE THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSOR. THEY ALSO FOUND THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS LEAKING GREASE AND CAUSED THE WHEEL SENSOR TO GO BAD. THEY REPLACED THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING. THE HIGH BUTTON ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WARMER LIGHT WAS INOPERABLE. ALSO, THE THIRD CLUTCH PRESSURE SWITCH FAILED. THE DASHBOARD WAS BUBBLING IN THE CENTER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY DISCOLORED. THE POWER WINDOWS WERE MOVING SLOWLY UP AND DOWN.

  THE CAR DOOR LOCKS, OR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS, HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES ( EACH DOOR AT LEAST TWICE) IN FIVE YEARS. THE CAR IS NOW EIGHT YEARS OLD AND ALL THE ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. THE SAFETY ISSUE ARISES WHEN THE DOOR SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AFTER REACHING 10MPH, BUT THEY DO NOT DUE TO ACTUATORS FAILING TO LOCK DOOR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DOORS TO OPEN IF INVOLVED IN CRASH. I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD ALSO ALLOW UNWANTED PEOPLE FROM ENTERING MY VEHICLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. ANOTHER ISSUE IS IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF ALL OF THE ACTUATORS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, AS IT REQUIRES MANUAL ACTIVATION OF LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH ACURA. I KNOW OF OTHER TSX OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED FROM ACURA AND THEY HAVE DECLINED THE REPAIR, STATING THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THEIR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ACTUATORS ARE AN ISSUE.

• 11/27/2012· SERVICE BRAKES

  I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT MY REAR BRAKES NEEDED REPLACEMENT AFTER ONLY 24,800 MILES. I HAD ONLY TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR THE NORMAL OIL CHANGING AND TIRE ROTATION. MY NORMAL DAILY COMMUTE IS TO AND FROM WORK TOTALING 50 MILES, WITH THE OCCASIONAL SHORT STOP AT A GROCERY STORE. WHEN MY HUSBAND QUESTIONED ACURA IF THERE WERE ANY COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS ABOUT THE PREMATURE WEARING OF 2010 TSX BRAKES, THEY STATED THEY HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING. (I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED A HONDA ACCORD AND I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON THAT CAR AS WELL.) SO MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO LOOK THE INFORMATION UP ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED INDICATING THAT CERTAIN HONDA AND ACURA YEAR MODELS HAD COMPLAINTS OF PREMATURE WEAR ON BRAKES. APPARENTLY IN THE SETTLEMENT YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR INFORMATION AND RECEIPT TO THE SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR AND RECEIVE UP TO $150 BACK FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE NEW BRAKES. WHEN I CALLED THE SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR TO VERIFY THAT MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THIS REIMBURSEMENT SETTLEMENT, I WAS INFORMED, TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT, THAT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY. IT SEEMS THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR AND YET THEY ONLY MARKED CERTAIN CARS FOR REPLACEMENT? EVIDENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CERTAIN YEAR MODELS AND ACURA SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE THE BRAKES WITHOUT THE CUSTOMER HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE SURPRISE AND COST OF REPLACING THEIR BRAKES PREMATURELY. APPARENTLY THE ONLY WAY A RECALL WILL BE MADE OR ANYONE WILL TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY IS IF SOMEONE IS BADLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED WHEN THEIR BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND OR RESPOND IMPROPERLY. IF ACURA/HONDA DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, WITH THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS IN MIND, MY HUSBAND AND I WILL HAVE TO SERIOUSLY CONTEMPLATE DOING BUSINESS WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY ALTOGETHER. *TR

• 11/14/2024· STEERING

  The contact owns a 2010 Acura TSX. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the power steering would suddenly fail causing the contact to use an excessive force to steer the vehicle. The power steering failure, brake system, and a yellow (unsure of its meaning) warning lights had been illuminated. At times when the failure occurred, the contact would have to pull over and turn off the vehicle, after waiting a while and turning the vehicle back on the warning would no longer be illuminated and the power steering would activate. The failure occurred intermittently/ The contact had a diagnostic device and pulled codes 71/01 and 71/02 referring to a steering failure. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer had referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a safety complaint. The failure mileage was unknown.

  THE KEY HAS A CHIP IN IT THAT CONTROLS THE IGNITION. IT ALSO HAS A SPRING IN IT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO FOLD THE KEY INTO THE FOB. I HAVE TWO TIMES HAD THAT SPRING WEAR OUT AND BREAK. WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE SPRING IS BROKEN AND YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL KEYS OR RINGS ATTACHED TO THE FAB IT CAN CAUSE THE KEY TO START CLOSING FROM THE WEIGHT IF THE SPRING IS BROKEN AND THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN AND TURN ITSELF OFF. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN DRIVE OR MOVING FORWARD. IT NAPPED TWO TIMES. ACURA REPLACED THE KEY WITHOUT QUESTION AND SAID SORRY. *TR

  MY 2010 ACURA TSX HAS LESS THAN 23,000 MILES, AND IT HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. RECENTLY I NOTICED A LOUD RATTLING AND SCREECHING NOISE IN THE BACK REAR OF THE CAR. THE NOISE CONTINUED TO GET MORE FREQUENT AND LOUDER. I TOOK IT IN TO GET SERVICED TODAY (AUGUST 5, 2011) AT THE ACURA DEALERSHIP, AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" OF THE REAR BRAKES AND ADVISED REAR BRAKE REPLACEMENT. I ASKED WHEN REAR BRAKES GENERALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND SHE REPLIED THAT IT IS USUALLY EVERY 20,000-30,000 MILES. SHE ALSO NOTED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE FOUND ON "SQUEALERS." I DISAGREE WITH THE "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" ASSESSMENT; IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT. MY FAMILY HAS OWNED 2 ACURAS AS WELL AS A NISSAN, TOYOTA, SATURN, AND FORD, AND WE HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AT THIS LOW MILEAGE WHEN IT WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. WHEN I GOT HOME, I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS SPECIFIC DEFECT. I DID GET THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED BECAUSE I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WHILE DRIVING A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKES. BASED ON THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AFFECTS MANY VEHICLES, AND HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THEIR DEFECTIVE BRAKES. NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND REQUIRE HONDA TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

  I HAVE A 2010 ACURA TSX WITH 28,000 MILES THAT NEEDS REAR BRAKES REPLACED. FRONT BRAKES ARE FINE BUT REAR BRAKES ARE WORN DOWN TO THE METAL. ACURA WON'T STAND BEHIND THE WARRANTY SAYING THIS IS NORMAL WEAR. THEY TELL ME I AM ONE OF THE LUCKY ONE BECAUSE MOST ARE REPLACING AT 12,000 MILES. YOUR FRONT BRAKES SHOULD WEAR OUT BEFORE YOUR REAR BRAKES AND MY FRONT BRAKES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION ON A 10 MONTH OLD CAR. ACURA WANTS TO CHARGE ME $390.00 TO DO THIS. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADMITTED THAT ACURA HAS A PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT ALOUD TO REPLACE ANY REAR BRAKES UNDER WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY THE MANUFACTURER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS SET UP ON THIS CAR AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED. ONCE AGAIN THE CONSUMER WILL GET LEFT HOLDING THE BAG. *TR

  ON THE AFTERNOON OF JUNE 19TH I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND WAS SITTING IN MY CAR WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WHEN THE DASH INDICATOR READ "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM". I CONTINUED TO GATHER MY THINGS, WHEN SUDDENLY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, HITTING MY LEFT ARM AND MOMENTARILY DEAFENING MY HEARING. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN IMPACTED OR JARRED IN ANY WAY THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE THE CAR TO ACURA AND THEY INITIALLY SAID THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. A WEEK OR SO LATER THEY CLAIMED THE COMPUTER INDICATED THE CAR HAD BEEN IN A COLLISION YET THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. CLEARLY THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE SENSOR YET THEY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THEY WANTED ME TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR REPAIRS. I WAS ASKED TO RETURN THE LOANER THEY HAD ISSUED ME AND TAKE POSSESSION OF MY CAR. THEY WERE WILLING TO SEND ME OFF IN AN UNSAFE CAR WITH THE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS HANGING! I RELUCTANTLY OPENED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY DENIED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COLLISION. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SUGGESTED I SUE AMERICAN HONDA. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AMERICAN HONDA MADE A "GOODWILL GESTURE" BY AGREEING TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THEY STILL REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE HAD A DEFECTIVE SENSOR. OVER A MONTH LATER I WILL FINALLY BE GETTING MY CAR BACK YET I'M A BIT NERVOUS AT THE THOUGHT THAT IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AND POSSIBLY WHILE I'M DRIVING.

I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION SUIT ON THESE BRAKES AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS FOR HONDAS AND ACURA TSX'S UP TO 2009. APPARENTLY THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY HONDA/ACURA ARE INSUFFICIENT. ACURA WANTS OVER $300 TO REPLACE THE PADS AND SURFACE THE ROTORS. APPARENTLY HONDA IS OFFERING DISCOUNTS OF $150 FOR THE SERVICE UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT, WHICH DOESN'T COVER MY PARTICULAR ACURA. HOWEVER RESURFACING THE ROTORS CANNOT BE DONE EVERY 20,000 MILES WITHOUT NEEDING EARLY REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS. WHO PAYS FOR THAT? I WAS GOING TO WAIT TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE.

I AM BEING TOLD THIS IS HOW THE WINDSHIELD WAS ENGINEERED. HOW COULD THAT BE POSSIBLE? *TR

  MY CAR MODEL IS ONE OF MANY HONDA VEHICLES RECALLED IN 2019. THE CAR WARNS ME ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT MALFUNCTIONS EACH TIME I START THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED TO ACURA BUT NO ANSWER TO MY CONCERNS AND I'M VERY FRUSTRATED DRIVING MY CAR KNOWING THE AIRBAG MAY NOT PROTECT ME DURING ACCIDENTS.

  MY 2009 ACURA TSX NEEDS BRAKES AT 25,000 MILES WHEN ON AVERAGE BRAKES SHOULD BE CHANGED AT 50,000. THIS IS A WAY FOR THE AUTOMAKERS TO MAKE MONEY FROM THE POCKETS OF THE CONSUMER. *TR

  BRAKE PEDAL IS FREEZING. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL!? IT WAS A COLD MORNING (3 DEGREES F). I WARMED UP THE CAR, LEFT MY ROAD AND, AS I APPROACHED THE LIGHT AT THE MAIN ROAD, I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS LIKE A ROCK. IT WOULDN'T MOVE. I'D ALREADY APPLIED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO THAT POINT. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE PEDAL TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS IN THE WAY. WITH LITTLE TIME TO REACT AND THE GEAR SHIFT READING LIKE WAR AND PEACE IN THAT MOMENT, I THREW THE CAR INTO PARK TO TRY TO REDUCE THE IMPACT AS I HIT 2 OF THE CARS AT THE LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH THEM, I HEARD A HISSING SOUND AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FINALLY GAVE WAY. I PHONED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO TWO OTHER PEOPLE THAT DAY--JUST FROM THAT ONE DEALERSHIP. I GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I CALLED ACURA CORPORATE AND THEY COULD NOT HAVE CARED LESS. THEY ASKED WHAT I WANTED AND I SAID, "I WANT YOU TO CARE ABOUT WHY YOUR BRAKE PEDAL IS FREEZING." WITH MY CAR STILL AT THE BODY SHOP, I PHONED THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY SAID THEY THINK IT'S A FAULTY CHECK VALVE AND VACUUM LINE THAT LETS CONDENSATION FREEZE IN THE LINE. AND GUESS WHAT? THOSE PARTS HAPPENED TO BE ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER...BUT THERE'S NO RECALL!??? I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MET WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER, WHO AGREED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER UNTIL THE PARTS CAME IN AFTER THE BODY SHOP WAS DONE WITH MY CAR. THE PLAN WAS TO DRIVE THE CAR SLOWLY FROM THE BODY SHOP TO THE DEALER. BUT THEN THE BODY SHOP CALLED TO TELL ME THE BRAKE PEDAL FROZE ON THEM AS THEY WENT TO PULL IT INTO THE GARAGE TO WORK ON IT (AGAIN, IT WAS A COLD MORNING). THEY DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE LETTING ME DRIVE IT SO CALLED THE DEALER ON MY BEHALF WHO AGREED TO PICK IT UP AND TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE THE REPAIR BUT IT HASN'T BEEN THAT COLD. *TR
