ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD FLASHED. ABS BREAKS WAS MOST DOMINATE ISSUE BEING FLASHED AFTER OTHER LIGHTS SETTLED. CAR WOULD NOT START FOR 4 HOURS. VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT SHUT OFF DURING MOVING. LUCKILY AT A LOW SPEED. DEALER SAID IT WAS LOW VOLTAGE FROM BATTERY. THEY DID NOTHING. THEY TOLD ME VOLTAGE WAS LOW ON A DIAGNOSTICS TEST THEY DID. TOLD ME NOT TO USE RADIO WHILE CAR IS OFF. THIS STILL IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE CHARGED FULLY AFTER MY RIDE.

SUSPENSION
I WENT OVER A MINOR BUMP ON A FREEWAY, A ROUTE THAT I OFTEN TAKE BY MYSELF, BUT THIS TIME I HAD 2 PASSENGERS WITH ME. THERE WAS NO HOLE ON THE FREEWAY, JUST A VERY SMALL INCLINE. AFTER DRIVING OVER IT, WE LITERALLY SHOT UP ON OUR SEATS, THE TOP OF OUR HEADS HITTING THE ROOF. THERE WAS ZERO DAMPENING EFFECTS. THIS WAS A SCARY EVENT. I TYPICALLY DRIVE BY MYSELF GOING TO WORK AND COULD FEEL A VERY ROUGH RIDE OVER MINOR ROAD BUMPS. WITH PASSENGERS IN TOW, THE RIDE OVER THESE BUMPS BECOME UNBEARABLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OCTOBER 13, 2013 I WAS IN THE CHURCH PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO START THE CAR. THE CAR WON'T START OR CRANK UP.. JUNE 4, 2014, AGAIN THE ILX WON'T START OR CRANK UP. THE CAR WAS IN A PARKING LOT OF A SCHOOL. BOTH TIMES THE CAR HAD TO BE JUMP START. I WAS TOLD THE FOG LIGHT WAS USING UP THE BATTERY SO THE DEALER TURNED THE FOG LIGHT OFF. THEN I WAS TOLD THE NAV WAS USING UP THE BATTERY AND FINALLY I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY CELL WAS FAULTY. THE ACURA DEALER FINALLY CHANGED THE BATTERY SINCE THE BATTERY IS STILL ON WARRANTY. I AM ON WAIT AND SEE SITUATION RIGHT NOW WHETHER I WOULD HAVE THE SAME BATTERY PROBLEM IN SIX MONTHS. *TR

ENGINE, SUSPENSION
SINCE ONE WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE ACURA ILX (CAR WAS NEW), I HAVE HEARD A RATTLING, BUMPING SOUND COMING FROM EITHER THE FRONT OR MIDDLE OF THE UNDERNEATH AREA OF THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TRIED 4 TIMES TO FIX IT, AND ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING, THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE AND THE SOUND REMAINED UNCHANGED. ONE OF THE TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS WITH THEM FOR OVER A MONTH. THE ANSWER I RECEIVED WAS THAT ACURA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY THINK IT IS THE ENGINE MOUNT, BUT NO FIX IS YET IN SIGHT. WHEN I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH OF "ACURA ILX NOISE" I DISCOVERED THAT THE ACURAZINE (ILX.ACURAZINE.COM) WEBSITE HAD MANY REVIEWS BY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE PURCHASED THE ILX NEW AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SOUND HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE IN THE YEAR I HAVE HAD IT AND I AM VERY CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING THE FREEWAY. I HAD INITIALLY THOUGHT ABOUT TURNING THE CAR OVER UNDER THE LEMON LAW (I LIVE IN NEVADA), BUT I WAS ASSURED BY ACURA THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN PROCEEDED TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO MAKE IT SAFELY TO THE NEXT GAS STATION OR REST STOP . ON ANY OTHER OCCASION, I WOULD HAVE PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT HIGHWAY SIGNS HAD INDICATED THAT NO STOPPING ON THE SIDE WAS ALLOWED. ALTHOUGH I WAS ATTEMPTING TO SAFELY REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WITHIN 20 MINUTES MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL AND FORCEFULLY SWERVED OFF THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING THE CAR TO RAPIDLY ROLL OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT SEEMED THAT THE TIRE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE RIM SPONTANEOUSLY, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF AN INCREASED WARNING FROM THE CAR'S INFORMATION / WARNING SYSTEM. *TR
