2015 ACURA TLX Unknown Or Other Problems

As I was driving my 2015 Acura TLX the status indicator on the dashboard started flashing all sort of messages, VSA, transmission, park, so on and so forth. Atleast 5-10 different messages displayed and all sorts of warning lights showed up. The vehicle then shifted to Neutral (N) and flashed N repeatedly. I was able to pull off the road safely but I was unable to put the car in Park, Drive, Reverse. I was only able to use the parking brake and shut the car off. I tried turning the vehicle on twice and both times it was in Neutral. After letting the car sit for 30 minutes I tried starting it again and at that point the vehicle was in park and only displayed approximately 3 messages; I was able to drive the vehicle again. I’ve owned this vehicle for 10 years and it’s gone into Neutral once before. I’ve also had the vehicle display multiple messages while driving. The vehicle was drivable with the few messages and after a few days the messages went away and functioned normally.

All lights turned on randomly during drive. Replaced battery 2x seeing it was a common issue in my year acura and also newer models. Still have the issue occuring. All lights from transmission error to lane keep asist ect.

Car was parked with Emergency Brake Parking on. Returned a few minutes later and couldn’t move the car. Mulitple errors popped on the dash board and the Navi screen. Reset the EBP and even disconnected the battery to try and rest it but nothing happened. Although still starts, my car won’t still move and I had to get it towed to the repair shop.

While driving vehicle goes into neutral on its own and will not go back into drive for at least 30 mins.

Vehicle was inspected and this was the finding. I have never been contacted to resolve this.

UNKNOWN/ active recall

While driving approx 65 mph on a freeway the vehicle placed itself into neutral and decelerrated as multiple warnings flashed across dashboard. . . “Emissions System Problem”, “Transmission System Problem”, “Electric Parking Brake Problem”. I was able to pull off to the side of an exit ramp but once I put the car in PARK I could not shift into Drive. I could not safely drive/manuever my vehicle to a safer area putting myself and child at risk of being hit. I turned the car on/off multiple times to attempt to shift into Drive, but to no avail. I called the nearest Acura dealer which was in the next town over from where I was stranded. After many failed attempts I was able to put the car in Drive and move my vehicle to the closest road and off to the side but with the warnings still flashing. The last successful attempt I was able to put the car in Drive again and without any further warnings flashing on dashboard. Drove 20 minutes to the nearest Acura Dealer and was charged $300 for the diagnosis and update of 3 systems. Informed DTC Code P0657, actuator supply voltage circuit/open, was found prior to system updates: Transmission Control Module Update, PGM-FI Update, and ABS System Update.

While driving, the vehicle shift into neutral unexpectedly, causing the transmission indicator to come on and OTC. Was going downhill when it happened but luckily I got off the road and went into a residential neighborhood to park. It was left on Neutral and could not shift to any gears. I put the emergency brake so the car wouldn't move down. I later found out after the car was towed that I was able to shift gears due to turning off the vehicle. P0657 was the code provided when it was scanned by an OBD2. VIN# 19UUB2F33FA014519

Engine shut down at stop (gas saving feature) when I try to go again give it gas car stalls.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

MY CAR HAS ABOUT 74000 MILES, AND ACURA HAS CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION AND TCM ONCE ALREADY. ON OCTOBER 23, 2019 WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 55 MILES/HR (ON HIGHWAY) ALL THE ALERTS AND INDICATORS LIT UP YET AGAIN IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND I COULD NOT SHIFT ANY GEARS WHATSOEVER. WITHIN SECONDS CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE INDICATORS SAID TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK GEAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WHICH I DID. AT THIS TIME I WAS IN LEFT LANE WITH BAD WEATHER AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A FEW CARS. I WAS SCARED AND LITERALLY ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE AS WELL, BUT SHUTTING DOWN AND RESTARTING WORKED - DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. THIS TIME I WAS STRANDED. I AM SCARED ABOUT MY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. MY STORY IS VERY LONG STARTING FROM DAY 1 WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MARCH 1, 2015 AT POHANKA ACURA IN CHANTUILLY VA (THE DEALERSHIP), BUT THE SPACE IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO WRITE THE COMPLETE STORY. ACURA IS NOT DOING MUCH TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE OR THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT TELLING ME THE WHOLE TRUTH!

ALL REPAIRS TO MY CAR HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AT THE ACURA DEALOR- POHANKA ACURA LOCATED IN CHANTILLY, VA. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS SINCE BUYING THE CAR ON MARCH 1, 2015. APART FROM RECALLS, THE MAIN CONCERN HAS BEEN TRANSMISSION, I HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH PROBABLY 30 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE - TRANSMISSION, YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS DESOITE IT BEING CHANGED ONCE ALREADY. I AM TIRED OF WASTING TIME AT ACURA DEALOR. ON OCTOBER 23, 2019 WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 55 MILES/HR ALL THE ALERTS AND INDICATORS LIT UP YET AGAIN IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND I COULD NOT SHIFT ANY GEARS WHATSOEVER. WITHIN SECONDS CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE INDICATORS SAID TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK GEAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WHICH I DID. AT THIS TIME I WAS IN LEFT LANE WITH BAD WEATHER AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A FEW CARS. I WAS SCARED AND LITERALLY ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I CALLED POHANKA ACURA AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING I COULD DO TO EVEN BRING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO GET IT OUT OF LEFT LANE TO MOVE IT TO SHOULDER. THE ALERTS HAD COME ON ONCE BEFORE AS WELL, AT WHICH TIME I NOTIFIED THE DEALORSHIP - THEY DISREGARDED THE ISSUE SAYING THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS REPORTED THIS. THE ALERTS WENT AWAY AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR. NOT THIS TIME. I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN LEFT LANE. I AM SCARED AND CONCERNED ABOUT MINE AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. ARE THE TECHNICIANS AT POHANKA ACURA NOT TRAINED TO TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUES? WHY DID I HAD TO GO AND SPEND HOURS AT A TIME TO TROUBLESHOOT THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER AGAIN? DID THE DEALOR SELL ME A LEMON? I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION FOR EACH SERVICE CALL, BUT THE SPACE IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO WRITE ALL THE DETAILS AND FILE SIZE LIMITATION IS PREVENTING ME TO UPLOAD ALL THE SERVICE DOCUMENTS. PLEASE HELP!

THE PAINT IS PEELING AROUND THE BACK WINDSHIELD, CAUSING IT TO BEGIN TO RUST. I REPORTED IT TO ACURA A YEAR AGO WHEN IT WAS FIRST NOTICED AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT DUE TO THE WARRANTY BEING EXPIRED. SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THE EXACT SAME MODEL CAR HAVE REPORTED ISSUES, BUT IT IS HIT OR MISS ON IF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED IS WILLING TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.

ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER BOUGHT I NOTICED MY 2015 ACURA TLX 3.5L V6 JERKED SIGNIFICANTLY BETWEEN GEARS 1-3. I HAVE A ONE-HOUR COMMUTE EACH WAY IN STOP-AND-GO FREEWAY TRAFFIC, AND THE PROBLEM IS HUGELY ANNOYING. FREQUENTLY IT JERKS SO HARD THAT MY HEAD HITS THE HEADREST REPEATEDLY. I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDING SLOWLY, AT THE END OF MY COMMUTE, I'M WIPED OUT FROM ALL THE JERKING BACK-AND-FORTH. THE DEALER SAYS ACURA IS CALLING THIS "A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE" FOR WHICH THERE IS NO FIX. APPARENTLY I JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT; EVEN THOUGH ACURA HAS EXTENDED-THE WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS OF PERIOD SEEMS LIKE ACURA DEALERSHIP DOESN'T REALLY WANNA DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WENT FEW ACURA DEALERSHIPS AND SHOW THEM THE RECALL NOTICE WHICH RECEIVED IN THE MAIL STILL SERVICE ADVISORS REFUSING DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE FOR FREE ALL THEY TELLING IS CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSES. MY CAR ENGINE WAS OVERHEATED DUE TO ATF COOLANT FAN MALFUNCTION EVEN THOUGH ACURA HAD A RECALL ON ATF COOLANT, ACURA DEALERS MADE ME PAY $900. THIS CAR WILL DEFINITELY BE MY LAST ACURA IF THIS ISSUE DOES NOT GET RESOLVED. THE THOUGHT OF SPENDING REST OF THE YEARS GETTING MY HEAD BANGED AGAINST THE HEADREST IN A $40,000 CAR IS EXTREMELY UNETHICAL AND DEPRESSING. PLEASE BE KIND ENOUGH TO BE HELP ME OUT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WHICH IN A QUICK MANNER FOR MINE & OTHERS SAFETY CONCERN.

VEHICLE PURCHASE MADE ON 2/28/2016. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR VARIOUS ISSUES SINCE THEN, MOSTLY FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE ISSUES INCLUDE JERKY SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND, AND 2ND TO 3RD. ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON MY FOURTH VISIT/COMPLAINT. THE ROUGH SHIFTING HAS SOMEWHAT IMPROVED, BUT IT IS STILL THERE. MY LAST VISIT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND A TEST DRIVE WITH DISTRICT MANAGER(DM) YIELDED: A) THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE NEW 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION. A FEATURE THAT COMES WITH WONDERFUL FUEL ECONOMY. B) VIBRATION FROM VCM (VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT). I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. YET AGAIN, DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL TO SHOW THIS 'CHARACTERISTIC'. DM'S RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION, "HOW/WHY DID I NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE ON MY FIRST FULL YEAR?" WAS, "WHAT GAS DO YOU PUT IN? COSTCO? THEY GOT LESS ADDITIVES. THERE'S CARBON BUILDUP FORMING IN THE ENGINE". THAT WAS THE RESPONSE ON A 13-MONTH OLD VEHICLE. C) CHIRPING NOISE FROM ENGINE ROOM. FROM RESEARCH, IT MAY BE RELATED TO 'HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP' OR 'INSUFFICIENT BELT PLACEMENT', WHICH ACURA HAS TSB OUT FOR SERVICING. BUT, DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE, EVEN WITH A RECORDING OF THE SOUND. (IT HAS TO BE AUDIBLE DURING THE TEST DRIVE, THEY SAY)

THE CAR WAS LEASED IN NOVEMBER, 2015. AFTER THREE WEEKS THE EXHAUST SYSTEM STARTED FILLING UP WITH FLUID. LOUD NOISES EMANATE FROM THE MUFFLER AND IF YOU FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR, FLUID COMES SPEWING OUT OF THE LEFT EXHAUST PIPE IN BUCKETS. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPEATEDLY AND THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THEY BLAMED MY DRIVING HABITS AS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE I ONLY USE THE CAR FOR LOCAL DRIVING. THE FLUID BUILDS UP EVERY THREE DAYS EVEN IF YOU CONTINUE TO FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR TO EMPTY THE SYSTEM AND THE NOISES FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BEGIN ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. FLUID IS CONSTANTLY EMITTED FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES EVEN WITH EMPTYING THE SYSTEM. THIS IS MY SIXTH ACURA AND I NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER TO NO AVAIL. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY WIFE AND I ARE IN DANGER OF INGESTING TOXIC EXHAUST FUMES THAT ARE NOT PROPERLY BEING REMOVED BY THIS FAULTY EXHAUST SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED UPWARD SENDING GLASS INTO THE ROADWAY. WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND WOULD LEAD TO A DEFECT IN THE SAFETY GLASS. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY REPAIR, FERMAN ACURA, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED ACURA U ILL NOT COVER EXPLODING SUNROOFS BECAUSE HE WAS NOT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME THAT IT BROKE AND HER IS NOT A GLASS EXPERT TO KNOW IF IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE GLASS THAT MADE IT EXPLODED, CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ACURA IN CALIFORNIA, OPENED A CASE WITH [XXX] WHO COULD NOT EVEN TELL ME HOW MANY LUGS ARE ON THE CAR SHE DRIVES, ACURA CASE WORKERS HAVE NO CAR KNOWLEDGE. TALKING TO ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE. MY REAL CONCERN IS THE SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE SUN SHIELD WAS OPEN THE TEMPERED GLASS THAT SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF SMALL PIECES COULD FALL ONTO THE DRIVER AND INTO HIS EYES. IS THIS NOT THE REASON WHY THE WINDSHIELD IS A SAFETY GLASS SO IT WILL STAY INTACT WHEN BROKEN. AT LEAST A CLEAR WINDOW FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE TEMPERED GLASS IN THE SUNROOF WOULD KEEP THE GLASS FROM FALLING ON THE DRIVER. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE CHANGES, A CAR LOOSE CONTROL AND HIT A SCHOOL BUS? AND LAST, ACURA STATED THE EXPLODING GLASS IS AN INSURANCE ISSUE. I DISAGREE, HOW MANY INSURANCE CLAIMS ARE DUE TO DEFECTIVE TEMPERED GLASS THAT HAVE A DEFECT WHEN MADE THAT THE AUTO COMPANY SHOULD COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE BEING RIPPED OFF BY AUTO COMPANIES. AND THE OWNERS RATES GO UP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IS EXTREMELY JUMPY, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND FLASH, ALONG WITH THE ENGINE WILL POWER DOWN TEMPORARILY. FOR EXAMPLE ONE TIME I WAS GOING APPROX 50MPH AND IT POWERED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS START FLASHING, I PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT. THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED FLASHING BUT THE ENGINE FUNCTIONED BUT THE TRANSMISSION STILL WAS JERKY. THIS WAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 SEPARATE TIMES AND WE HAVE HAD IT IN SERVICE WITH ACURA SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY TRY TO FIX THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH A DIFFERENT FIX. MOST RECENTLY WE HAD IT IN FOR REPAIR FOR A WEEK, WE GOT IT BACK, DROVE IT 200 MILES AND THE SAME ERROR HAPPENED. ACURA FINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I JUST PICKED IT BACK UP ON 1/6/17 AND THE SAME ERROR AND TRANSMISSION ISSUE OCCURRED TODAY. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP, THE NMVB, ACURA CUSTOMER RELATIONS, AND NOW WE ARE REACHING OUT TO THE NHTSA. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND WE ARE AFRAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL IDLE DOWN AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY BUT MAYBE IN A LANE THAT WE CANNOT IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER SAFELY.

2015 BLACK ACURA TLX FINANCED VIA LEASE OPTION WITH A LOCAL DEALER (FOUNTAIN ACURA, 8703 ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32809). SINCE I LEASED THIS VEHICLE BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015; I HAVE HAD THE BELOW ISSUES: *NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH DISPLACEMENT. THE CAR SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER PER MY REQUEST; HOWEVER, AFTER BEING REPLACED IT STILL NOISES OUT OF THE NORMAL AND DOES NOT OPERATE AS SMOOTH AS THE OTHER SEATS. NOT TO MENTION SCRATCHES I NOTICED INSIDE THE CAR DUE TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW SEAT. *LOUD NOISE IN THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION. *THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED TO ME WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE, WHICH I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH BECAUSE THE DEALER NEVER ADVISED THE VEHICLE DIDN'T COME WITH A SPARE TIRE. *THE VEHICLE PRESENTS VERY ROUGH AND HIGH INCREMENTS IN THE SPEED AFTER MAKING NORMAL ACCELERATIONS. WHICH MAKE MYSELF AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS FEEL SERIOUSLY UNSAFE AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. AFTER PRESENTING ALL THESE ISSUES AND A FORMAL CLAIM TO FOUNTAIN ACURA AND THEIR SALES PERSONNEL; THEY HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEMS JUST ARGUING THAT 'THAT IS THE WAY THE CAR RUNS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT'. I HAVE SENT A FORMAL COMPLAINT VIA MAIL TO BOTH THEIR HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE, CA AND IN TOKYO, JAPAN. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AT ALL WITH ALL THE ISSUES IT HAS AND I REFUSE TO HAVE TO KEEP IT FOR THE REMAINING TIME OF THE LEASE. ACURA SHOULD DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEMS OR TAKE THIS CAR OUT OF THE MARKET.

YES, YOU GUYS ARE ON POINT! I HAD MY 2015 TLX V4 ADVANCED PACK. AND EVERY SINGLE COMPLAINT I READ ON HERE I HAVE! THIS IS VERY NERVE WRECKING! I TOOK IN MY ACURA TWO WEEKS AGO TO SHERMAN OAKS CENTER ACURA, WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VAHICLE AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING; E.I. JERKS, SUDDEN REVS, DELAYED UPSHIFT/DOWNSHIFT. THE REPAIR CENTER PERSONNEL ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE JUST NEEDED A "SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE" AND THAT NOT TO BE ALARMED BECAUSE ACURA WILL HAVE FUTURE UPDATES. SO WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR I NOTICED THAT THE CAR FELT AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING MY GIRLFRIEND'S 10 YEAR OLD COROLLA. THE CAR IS A F*** PIECE OF S*** I TELL YOU! IT LAGS MORE AND HE VIBRATES TOO MUCH! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER'15 AND SINCE DAY ONE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VIBRATIONS DURING HIGHWAY COMMUTE. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED 5 TIMES SO FAR THE VIBRATION HAS ACTUALLY BEEN MADE FAR WORSE THEN WHAT THEY USED TO BE. THE SEATS, THE SEAT BUCKLE, EVEN MY CHILD CAR SEAT VIBRATES/SHAKES WHEN DRIVING. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT ALL OVER THE BODY WHEN DRIVING. THE VIBRATION IS SOO BAD NOW, THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY.

THIS CAR IS A TOTAL LEMON - DO NOT PURCHASE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALER 9 TIMES IN 12 MONTHS FOR NON ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ISSUES AND IT IS GETTING TOWED THERE AGAIN TODAY. MYRIAD OF ISSUES FROM LACK OF BRAKES TO JERKING TRANSMISSION TO FLAT OUT WON'T START. I PURCHASED AN ACURA FOR A RELIABLE CAR AND THAT IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT WHAT I OWN NOW. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE WITH ACURA CORPORATE BUT THE DEALER (POHANKA ACURA, CHANTILLY VA) WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE VEHICLES THEY SELL. BUYER BEWARE OF THIS CAR!!

I LEASED THE 2015 TLX IN JANUARY 2015. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK IN WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS BECAUSE WHEN I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME THAT IT WAS DUE TO "THE WHEELS REALIGNING". I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN WITHIN ONE MONTH (FEBRUARY) FOR THE SAME ISSUES, IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS. HAVING BEEN TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, I FOUND AN ARTICLE ONLINE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING. AFTER ALERTING THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM, THEY CONTACTED ACURA/HONDA TO LEARN OF A "COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATE" WHICH WAS COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES SINCE I LEASED THE CAR IN JANUARY, WHERE A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" IS COMPLETED ON MY CAR. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND I HAVE MY 5TH APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR NEXT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2015. I HAVE ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP AND MY SALESPERSON THAT I'M NOT COMFORTABLE IN THIS CAR AND DO NOT PLAN ON CONTINUING TO BRING MY CAR IN EVERY FEW WEEKS FOR A TEMPORARY FIX.

ON BOTH DAYS SEPT 22 AND SEPT 23, 2015, AS I WAS DRIVING, I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN. JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND EVERYONE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD, MY CAR SHUT DOWN. AN EDISTON BULB POPPED UP ON THE DASH, YELLOW COLOR, AND THE WORDS "SHIFT TO PARK" BUT IT DISAPPEARED WITHIN 2 SECS. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK INTO THE DEALER TODAY. I ALSO HAVE THE JERKY TRANSMISSION, THE SUDDEN SURGE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THE DELAY IN THE ACCELERATION. A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD BUT THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED THO THE RPMS WENT UP BUT IT WOULDN'T MOVE. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AND SLIPPED IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND PROCEEDED OKAY. I HAVE INTERMITTENT GARAGE REMOTE. WHEN USING THE DOWNSHIFT PADDLE, THE CAR SPEEDS UP WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE BEGINNING. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND THEY ARE THE SAME AS EVERYONE'S. ANOTHER TIME MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND IT TOOK 20 MINS AND TRIED THE TWO DIFFERENT KEYS PLUS THE MANUAL KEY IN THE DOOR BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I WAS IN MY GARAGE. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CONTROLS, THE BLUETOOTH, STEREO, ETC. EXCEPT THE ENGINE. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR LIGHTS AND DASH. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO RESET THE CAR. I CALLED ACURA AND THEY WERE SENDING A TOW TRUCK TO JUMP START THE CAR. I SAID THAT THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. AFTER A WHILE, THE CAR FINALLY STARTED ABOUT 20 MINS LATER AND I CALLED AND CANCELLED THE TOW TRUCK. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. BUT MDX HAS MANY REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER WOULDN'T FIX MY CAR SO THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. IT HASN'T REOCCURRED AND I HOPE IT DOESN'T IN AN AREA OR TIME OUTSIDE OF MY HOME.
