TAKATA RECALL - I RECIEVED NOTIFICATION ON JULY 17TH, 2016 ABOUT A RECALL FOR MY 2010 ACURA TSX. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT, I WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR PARTS AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 90-120 DAYS FOR PARTS. I THEN REQUESTED A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHICH WAS DENIED. I CARPOOL IN MY CAR EVERY DAY, YET THE ACURA RECALL NOTICE INSTRUCTS ME NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT PRACTICAL AND PARTS SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE SOONER OR A DIFFERENT CAR PROVIDED.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES FAILED ON THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS DURING COLD SPELL (TEENS WITH WIND CHILL -10 TO 10F) THE FIRST TIME I HAD PULLED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT THE SUPERMARKET AND WAS HEADING TOWARDS THE EXIT. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SLOWING AS I APPROACHED THE STREET ALTHOUGH I WAS EXERTING CONSIDERABLE FORCE ON THE BRAKE. I MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. I CHECKED FOR ANY PHYSICAL OBSTRUCTIONS AND DID NOT FIND ANY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT TRAVEL. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE BRAKES RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AND I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY DRIVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, I PUMPED THE BRAKES WITH THE CAR OFF UNTIL THE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE. I THEN TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND NOTICED THE BRAKE WOULD NOT GO DOWN AGAIN. I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES UNTIL IT FUNCTIONED AGAIN. THIRD INSTANCE, I STARTED THE CAR AND PUMPED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES IT WORKED BUT THEN IT FROZE AGAIN. AFTER SOME MORE TIME, THE BRAKES ENGAGED AND I TOOK THE CAR TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT RUN ANYONE DOWN IN THE CROWDED SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT AND THE STREET WAS CLEAR WHEN I COULDN'T SLOW THE CAR AND ROLLED INTO IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS, SUCH AS RAIN, IF YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE, THE TRACTION CONTROL CUTS POWER PRACTICALLY COMPLETELY, SO IF YOU ARE AT A STOP SIGN, AND TRY TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, IF YOU CAN GET THE TRACTION CONTROL TO NOT ENGAGE YOU CAN MOVE PRETTY QUICKLY ACROSS THE INTERSECTION, IF IT'S ENGAGE, AND IT ACTIVATES IT'S AS THOUGH YOU TOOK YOUR FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR, I'VE HAD A LOANER CAR OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MINE, BUT IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK THE SAME WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL AS THE AUTOMATIC DOES. THE AUTOMATIC YOU CAN FEEL THE CAR PRACTICALLY CLAW AT THE ROAD TO MOVE FASTER, WHILE THE MANUAL, POWER IS JUST COMPLETELY CUT, IT'S QUITE DANGEROUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS TSX HAS HAD THREE DIFFERENT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS GO OUT. PASSENGER DOOR AT 30K MIKES, DRIVER DOOR AT 45K MILES AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR AT 75K MILES. WHILE THE FIRST TWO WERE UNDER WARRANTY THE LAST ONE ISN'T AND COSTS $460 FOR THE ACURA DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SEEMS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS THE CAR IS IN OTHERWISE PERFECT CONDITION. MULTIPLE OWNERS ON ACURA MESSAGE BOARDS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHEELS
WE BOUGHT THE ACURA NAMED ABOVE AT JMK FIAT IN SPRINGFIELD, NJ. IT HAS 4 MICHELIN 225/50R17 TIRES ON IT. IT HAS ONLY BEEN THREE WEEKS AND ONE OF THE TIRES WAS DRY ROTTED AND WENT FLAT. MY MECHANIC SAID ALL FOUR HAVE TO BE REPLACED. MY WIFE AND SON WERE ABOUT TO TRAVEL TO NEW YORK RIGHT BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. I KNOW THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THESE TIRES BUT I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. CAN I DO ANYTHING HERE?

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND SINCE IT HAD NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE, I BELIEVED IT TO BE AN ANOMALY. SECOND TIME...NO LONGER AN ANOMALY, THIS CAR HAS A BREAKING PROBLEM THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY ACURA. ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW MY BREAKS HAVE FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF VEHICLE OPERATION CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BREAK IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN I WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN I ATTEMPTED TO BREAK ONLY TO FIND THE BREAK PEDAL SOLID AND STIFF AND WOULD NOT MOVE NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED. I HAD NO BREAKS WHATSOEVER. WITHIN A SHORT TIME AFTER, THE BREAKS STARTED WORKING. CONDITIONS ON BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE TEMPERATURES BELOW 10 DEGREES WITH A NEGATIVE WIND CHILL AND I HAD NOT WARMED MY CAR UP PRIOR TO DRIVING IT. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO GETTING T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE ONLY REASON I WAS NOT HIT WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BREAK. THIS TIME I IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE CAR AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE VEHICLE IS SITTING AT A HONDA REPAIR SHOP AS THERE ARE NO ACURA DEALERS CLOSE. I CONTACTED ACURA AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS AND THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY HOWEVER A LOCAL ADVOCATE FOR MY REGION WOULD CALL ME BACK ON MONDAY. TODAY IS FRIDAY. SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS AS WHEN I SEARCH THE FORUMS TSXCLUB.COM (BREAKS FAIL WHEN COLD), THERE ARE MULTIPLE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE ALSO CASES ON THIS SITE AS WELL. ACURA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN MY TEEN DRIVER WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

WHEELS, TIRES
THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) GOES OFF 2-10 TIMES A MONTH SAYING "SYSTEM FUNCTION ERROR" AND ALL WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE SHOW A PRESSURE OF "--" VERSUS THE NORMAL DISPLAY OF THE PSI IN THE TIRES. DEALERS TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG AND PROBLEM ISN'T REPRODUCIBLE. *TR
