POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION IS SKIPPING. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT. I BOUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER AND THE SALESPERSON. THE SKIP IS HAPPENING BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR CHANGE; JERKING BETWEEN THE TWO. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO ALL 2015 TLX OWNERS. I AM REACHING OUT FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO GET THIS RESOLVED. THEY SEEM TO BE AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THESE REPAIRS. ANY RE?COMMEND DEALERS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AGM BATTERY FAILURE EVERY FEW MONTHS. SUSPECTED CAUSE IS CONSTANT UNDERCHARGING FROM COMPUTER ALGORITHM THAT LIMITS ALTERNATOR OUTPUT TO BATTERY. THIS SITUATION IS WORSENED BY IDLE-STOP FEATURE THAT REQUIRES DEEP DISCHARGE FROM BATTERY. IDLE-STOP CANNOT BE DISABLED. DEALERSHIP CANNOT COPE WITH THIS PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA HAS OFFERED TO PROVIDE AN OVERNIGHT CHARGER THAT PLUGS INTO HOUSE POWER. OTHERWISE THEY ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DESIGN THAT CANNOT KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. THE RESULT IS A $40,000 LUXURY CAR THAT LEAVES YOU STRANDED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC. OTHER REPORTS ON THE INTERNET INDICATE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH OUR CAR GOT T-BONED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. MY WIFE WAS COMPLETELY BLINDSIDED AND ALL THE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DEPLOYED AND WHEN SHE SAW THE SMOKE SHE THOUGHT THERE WAS A FIRE SO SHE TOLD MY MOTHER IN LAW TO QUICKLY GET MY 2 YR. OLD CHILD OUT OF HER CAR SEAT. AS MY WIFE AND HER SISTER WHO WAS ALSO SITTING IN THE FRONT STARTED WALKING TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE CAR TO GET ME DAUGHTER OUT OF THE CAR OUR CAR STARTED ROLLING BACK EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SMASHED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RODE AND WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. MEANWHILE HER MOM WAS IN THE BACK TRYING TO GET OUT OF A MOVING CAR WHICH SHE THOUGHT WAS ON FIRE. SINCE THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACK INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO WAS HOLDING MY DAUGHTER GOT DRAGGED ALONG THE PAVEMENT WITH MY DAUGHTER IN HER CHEST BECAUSE HER LEG GOT STUCK IN THE CAR. SHE FINALLY GOT OUT OF THE CAR AS IT WAS ROLLING PAST THE MIDDLE OF THIS BUSY STREET BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING BACK UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE BACK BUMPER ROLLED INTO ANOTHER CAR. MY WIFE SWEARS SHE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND HAS NO IDEA WHY THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACK AND OBVIOUSLY SHE WOULDN'T GET OUT OF A MOVING CAR SO YOU KNOW THE CAR HAD COME TO COMPLETE STOP. WHEN WE CALLED ACURA TO REPORT THIS ISSUE THEY CHALKED IT UP TO MY WIFE LEAVING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT THE CAR WAS NOT SMASHED ONTO A HILL AND THE ROAD WAS FLAT. FURTHERMORE WE FOUND ONLINE THERE ARE PARKING BRAKE ISSUES WITH THE TLX BUT THE ACURA REP STATED THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR OUR VIN#. MY DAUGHTER AND MOTHER IN LAW COULD HAVE DIED FROM THIS ISSUE BUT ACURA REALLY DIDN'T SHOW ANY CONCERN.

THE HEADREST IS CRIPPLING. I AM 5 FOOT 5 INCHES WITH GREAT POSTURE. WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT, THE HEADREST PITCHES MY HEAD FORWARD AND HURTS. THE LONGER THE DRIVE THE WORSE IT HURTS. 2 CHIROPRACTORS SAY IT IS MECHANICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE HUMAN BODY TO SIT THIS WAY.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
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

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
POWERTRAIN: IN 19 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, MY 2015 ACURA TLX'S TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT FAILED (10 MONTHS), IT WOULD NOT ENTER INTO REVERSE, DRIVE OR NEUTRAL UPON STARTING. IT TOOK SPECIAL TOWING TOO. THE SECOND TIME IT FAILED (19 MONTHS, 22K MILES), I WAS DRIVING IN RURAL TEXAS AT 70 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL, WARNING LIGHTS EXPLODED AND I HAD TO SAFELY WORK MY WAY TO AN EXIT RAMP AND ONTO THE FRONTAGE ROAD. I THEN HAD TO WAIT FOR 2.5 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK WHICH THEN RESULTED IN A 2 HOUR RIDE IN A TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER. SUSPENSION: WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO OF BUYING THE ACURA TLX, THE CAR BEGAN TO DEVELOP A VIBRATION THAT I COULD FEEL THROUGH THE ACCELERATOR AND STEERING WHEEL. I COULD VISUALLY SEE IT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AS IT WOULD SHAKE SUBSTANTIALLY (NEARLY VIOLENTLY). ON A DRIVE, THE CAR SHIFTED VIOLENTLY AND MOMENTARILY IN A LATERAL MOTION AT 80 MPH WHILE PASSING ANOTHER CAR WHICH SCARED THE WITS OUT OF MY PASSENGER AND ME. DEALER CHANGED THE TIRES, INVESTIGATED THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE SHUDDER/VIBRATION WOULD NOT GO AWAY. I GOT SICK OF TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER ONLY FOR IT TO RETURN TO ME IN THE SAME CONDITION. AFTER 1 YEAR, THE ROAD NOISE IN THE CABIN GREW AND MY PASSENGERS WOULD COMPLAIN. FINALLY THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THAT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD. ONCE REPLACED, THE ROAD NOISE AND VIBRATION IMPROVED CONSIDERABLY. HOWEVER, WHEN I DRIVE A LOANER FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT DRIVES MUCH SMOOTHER THAN MY CAR SO THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FULLY FIXED. OTHER: IN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS, I NOTICED THAT A TORRENT OF WATER WOULD RUN DOWN THE INSIDE OF MY REAR WINDOW AND INTO MY BACK SPEAKER COMPARTMENT AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE BACK WINDOW WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. A BRAND NEW CAR THAT HAS NUMEROUS SIGNIFICANT MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY PROBLEMS! UNACCEPTABLE!!! *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.
