ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH. IT HAPPENED IN MAY, JULY, AND SEPTEMBER 2019. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE TACHOMETER REGISTERING THE RPMS DROPPED TO 1,000 AND STAYED THERE. AFTER PULLING OVER, SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, WAITING, AND RESTARTING THE CAR, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO OPERATE AS NORMAL. MANY OF THE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED DURING THIS INCIDENT. FINALLY, IN SEPTEMBER, MY CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DETERMINATION WAS THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I'M STILL AWAITING FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE COMPLETED AT THIS TIME (NOVEMBER 13, 2019).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MOVING FORWARD MY VEHICLE HESITATED AND DECREASED IN POWER AND THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT HELP MOVING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS 10-15 BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING FORWARD AGAIN. FROM A MOVING POSITION, I WAS GOING AROUND A RIGHT-HAND SLIGHT CURVE GOING APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MHP AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO KEEP POWER, SPEED DECREASED, AND THEN BEGAN WORKING AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL SCARY SECONDS. THE MAIN PROBLEM I HAVE IS WHEN ACCELERATING, THE FUEL SEEMS LIKE IT IS NOT PROCESSED CORRECTLY TO ALLOW MY VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN TEN TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE LISTING OF RECALLS. I AM CLEARLY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MANY OTHER ACURA TLX OWNERS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON IT DID NOT START THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AS OF NOV 2019. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE LISTED WITH THE RECALLED LISTING OF OTHER 2016 TLX ACURA VEHICLES.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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!

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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 CAR HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR DIES COMPLETELY AFTER IT COMES TO A STOP (NUMEROUS TIMES) AND IT CAN BE TURN ON FOR A FEW MINUTES. THERE HAS BEEN INCIDENTS WHERE I HAVE COME CLOSE TO BE HIT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR (BY OTHER CARS) BECAUSE THE CAR WON'T RE-START IMMEDIATELY. DEALERS HAVE TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE SITUATION REMAINS THE SAME.

THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKY, CLUNKY, BOUNCES TO A STOP, BOUNCES AND LURCHES FORWARD WHEN STOPPING, WILL TAKE 2-3 SECONDS TO RESPOND TO PEDAL PUSH AND THEN TAKE OFF. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN STOPPING FOR PEDESTRIANS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING, PERIOD.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WITH THE VEHICLE AUTO STOP FUNCTION ENGAGED (WHICH IS ALWAYS ENGAGED WHEN STARTING YOUR DRIVE, CAN'T BE DISABLED AUTOMATICALLY) AND YOU COME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WILL AUTO STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY YOU NEED TO RESUME DRIVING, THE SYSTEM WILL GENERATE A 61-12 ERROR, FLASH WARNINGS ABOUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM POSSIBLY NOT WORKING AND ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS MEANS THAT YOU ARE STUCK WHERE YOU ARE UNTIL YOU GATHER YOUR WITS AND DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN AN INTERSECTION, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO UNEXPECTEDLY STOP AND TRY TO HURRY ON THRU YOU CAN GET CAUGHT IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, HAS HAPPENED TWICE! THE CAR HAS BEEN SEEN BY ACURA 11 TIMES AND VARIOUS COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS ACTIVITY IS ACTUALLY NORMAL AND TO AVOID THIS SITUATION, ALWAYS MANUALLY DISENGAGE THE AUTO STOP FUNCTION. 1. THIS IS TOO EASY TO FORGET, HUMANS DON'T ALWAYS REMEMBER AND 2. DOING SO LIGHTS UP A VERY IRRITATING AMBER WARNING LIGHT. THIS "NORMAL" OPERATION IS HAZARDOUS! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FROM 2,000 MILES TO MY CURRENT 36,000 MILES!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE ALL ERROR CODES ON DASHBOARD (MIL) LIT UP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO FEEL AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGED AS IF I WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE BEGAN LOOSING POWER. THE SPEED BEGAN DECREASING, BUT THEN WOULD CATCH FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE GEAR INDICATED THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE & PARKED. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES & RESTARTED AND TRIED TO RE-ENGAGE IN DRIVE TO SEE IF IT RESET ITSELF AS IT HAS DONE IN THE PAST JUST 7 WEEKS PRIOR, HOWEVER IT JUST REVVED UP. I CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD IT TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER AN HOUR AWAY AS AGAIN THE MECHANICAL BREAK DOWN OCCURRED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING IN BETWEEN CITIES. THE NEXT MORNING, THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE ERROR CODES AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPDATE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE, THE COMPUTER WAS RESET . WHILE DRIVING HOME THE TRANSMISSION BECAME JUMPY AGAIN AROUND 3RD GEAR. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND MADE THEM AWARE OF MY SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE CAR AS AGAIN, MY ENTIRE FAMILY (HUSBAND, KIDS AND DOGS) WERE IN THE CAR AND FELT AS IF THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN HORRIBLE ACCIDENT HAD I NOT SAFELY NAVIGATED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE WHILE AT SUCH A HIGH SPEED WITH HEAVY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC. THIS ERROR HAS DISPLAYED FOR TIMES AND EACH TIME THERE WAS A DIFFERENT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BESIDES HAVING 2 TRANSMISSION UPDATES, BAD BATTERY CELL AND REPLACED PUSH BUTTON GEAR ASSEMBLY. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL INCIDENTS AND REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS ACURA CORPORATE. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK SO THAT THEIR SERVICE ADVISER CAN TRY AND REPLICATE THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ERROR IS. I'VE MADE THEM AWARE THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT NOT ONLY PUTS ME AND MY PASSENGERS IN DANGER BUT POSSIBLY OTHER CARS, BUT WAS ASSURED I DO NOT NEED A RENTAL UNTIL IT CAN BE SEEN AGAIN.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN 2017 I HAD THE CAR LOSE THROTTLE POWER WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND EVERY LIGHT IN THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH. I LET OFF THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND TRIED ACCELERATING AGAIN AND THIS DID NOT WORK. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR SO OF TRYING THE CAR FINALLY STARTED. BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND SO WAS THE WARNING OF "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" AND "EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK PROBLEM". THE NEXT DAY I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT ACURA. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THE CAR HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND TRIPPED THE SENSORS BUT THEY CLEARED THE CODES AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THEY ALSO TRIED TO BLAME MY LENGTHY ROADTRIP FOR THE MALFUNCTION. WHEN YOU SPEND 40,000 DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT HAS 6,000 MILES ON IT YOU DO NOT EXPECT A "MALFUNCTION" BUT I ACCEPTED THE RESULT AND WALKED AWAY. IN 2018 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH AND I LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONE. BUT SUDDENLY THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED INTO 4TH GEAR(GOING 60MPH) AND WAS SITTING AT ABOUT 4500 RPMS AND I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT BUT REGAINED THROTTLE RESPONSE SO I PULLED OVER. I ALLOWED THE CAR TO SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS. I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS TIME BECAUSE ALL OF THE LIGHTS HAD CLEARED OVERNIGHT. IN JUNE 2019 THIS HAD HAPPENED AGAIN FOR THE LAST TIME AND I TOOK THE CAR STRAIGHT BACK TO ACURA AND TOLD THEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. THEY CALLED ME 2 DAYS LATER AND TOLD ME THEY HAD TO UPDATE MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. SO I ASSUMED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY. BUT NOW JUST THE OTHER DAY AUGUST 19TH 2019 THE THROTTLE LOST COMPLETE POWER AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME NO LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON WITH NO ISSUES. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATTER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOU TIME!

SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS WILL BE THE 12TH TIME WHERE MY CAR COMES TO A SUDDEN AND VIOLENT STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON - DUE TO THE COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATING WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, A FEW WEEKS AGO, THERE WAS SOMEONE BEHIND ME AND IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL. THERE WAS ALSO A PASSENGER WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HIT HIM. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE ONLY TO BE TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I ATTEMPTED TO BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN AND I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND THAT THEY HAD NO AVAILABILITY FOR WEEKS. I HAVE EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE WITH ACURA CUSTOMER CARE AND ANYONE INVOLVED IN THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE, INCLUDING TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS AND I HAVE RECEIVED A GENERIC RESPONSE WITH NO SOLUTION OFFERED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SYSTEM THAT IS CLEARLY NOT TESTED APPROPRIATELY AND I WILL BE KEEPING IT TURNED OFF JUST AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER TO DO SO. THESE INCIDENTS VARY - MOST TIMES IT OCCURRED ON A LOCAL STREET. IT HAPPENED TWICE ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AS I WAS ENTERING GOING ABOUT 45MPH. ALL TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING OVER APPROX 35MPH

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED TO THE REDLINE. A 'TRANSMISSION TOO HOT' NOTIFICATION CAME UP ON THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY. VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE KEPT REVVING UNTIL IT WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE AND SHUT DOWN. AFTER THAT, WE WERE UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS DIAGNOSED. LATER, THEY TOOK OUT THE ENGINE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE FLYWHEEL HAD BEEN SHEARED OFF. VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, SO ACURA REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY, ALTHOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TAKATA RECALL IT WAS AROUND 7:30 AM I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND I FELT LIKE I SLIGHTLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING SOMEHOW. NEXT THING I KNOW THE STEERING WHEEL IS CROOKED AND ALMOST EVERY WARNING LIGHTS HAVE TURNED ON AND I STARTED GETTING ALL THE WARNING SOUNDS DESCRIBING MORE WARININGS THAN I COULD CHECK ON THE SECOND PAGE ON THIS INCIDENT REPORT. I BARELY BOUGHT MY ACURA A FEW MONTHS AGO SO I'M VERY SHOCKED BE HAVING SUCH A SCARY INCIDENT SO FAST. I THOUGHT ACURA'S WERE DEPENDABLE RELIABLE CARS THAT WOULD KEEP ME AND MORE IMPORTANTLY MY CHILDREN SAFE. I FELT SO SCARED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN. IT WAS EVEN MORE UPSETTING TO FIND THAT THIS SAME SITUATION ON THE SAME BRAND OF ACURA'S HAS HAPPENED BEFORE TO MORE THAN 1 PERSON ON YOUTUBE! WHAT IS ACURA WAITING FOR ON A RECALL. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULDN'T WANT ANY LAWSUITS WHEN SOMEONE GETS HURT. PLEASE HELP TURN THIS INTO A RECALL BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. THANK YOU
