2017 ACURA TLX

My 2017 Acura was involved in a low-speed collision where it failed to stop in a timely manner, resulting in a total loss declaration. This vehicle had open safety recalls (including the fuel pump/rod bearing issues) that remained unrepaired for over 1.5 years. Despite multiple inquiries, the manufacturer failed to provide a repair timeline or remedy. I believe these unresolved defects directly contributed to the braking failure and subsequent safety incident.

My car shuts off at idle without warning. No lights or codes. I’ve seen a fuel pump issue is the cause on other models like mine.

Hello i am writing in to see why the Acura TLX recall range is 2018-2020. The original effected engines for the TLX were 2015-2020 Acura TLX 3.5 v6. The engines for the 15-17 are the same as a 18-20 Acura TLX

Emissions system problem/electric parking brake problem

Emissions system problem/electric parking brake problem

I was driving on the freeway and I heard something explode followed by a clanking noise. The oil light and battery light came on simultaneously and I could not accelerate. I immediately pulled over and noticed that all the oil drained out of the car. When I got a chance look under the vehicle there was a hole in the oil pan. A mechanic said that it had happened from the inside. Possibly something from the motor broke off and shot out of my oil pan.

Electronic parking brake and check emissions system lights going on simultaneously. Car stalled on freeway and check transmission light also went on simultaneously. Very dangerous. Multiple reports submitted for similar issue by many people. Please look into this. Acura needs a recall on these TLX models

The contact owns a 2017 Acura TLX. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the failure occurred five months after the recall repair. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine started knocking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed a valve adjustment, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer had an engineer inspect the vehicle at the dealer and discovered there was wrist pin play on piston #2. The contact was informed that the short block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but refused to replace the short block due to aftermarket components on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

My daughter was driving her car to work. Well in the middle of rush hour traffic the car put itself in neutral and then would not move and all of the lights were displayed on the dashboard as if the car was turned off. The car would not go into gear to move forward. She put the car in park and then shut the engine off. The engine shuttered and the car shook while it turned off. He then tried to start it and then started again and it started up okay and was able to put the car in drive and move forward. I spoke to my mechanic and he said that there is a recall on this car for fuel pump issues. I checked the VIN and it said that there was no open recall. However I wanted to report this incident to document it for this particular car because it could have a fuel pump issue.

[XXX] [XXX] > 4:28 PM (19 minutes ago) to takahiro_hachigo American Honda 1919 Torrance Blvd PO Box 2215 Torrance, CA 90509 - 9870 RE: Request for Financial Compensation Vehicle: 2017 Acura TLX VIN: [XXX] Dear American Honda Executive, I am reaching out as a long-term and loyal Honda customer, having owned multiple Honda vehicles over the past 30 years, including a 1990 Accord, a 2000 Accord, a 2005 Accord, a 2006 Odyssey, a 2011 Odyssey, a 2012 Accord, and most recently, a 2017 Acura TLX. Honda’s reputation for reliability has been a significant reason behind my continued support. However, recent mechanical issues and recalls, especially those affecting V6 engines, have left me with concerns. I purchased the 2017 Acura TLX in May 2023, unaware of any recalls or issues associated with this car’s make, model, and year. Just a month later, in June 2023, the vehicle’s engine caught fire while my son, a college student, was driving. Fortunately, he was able to walk away without injury, but this experience was alarming and has led to significant repair expenses. After the fire, I learned that there was a recall affecting Acura TLX models. I promptly filed a claim with Honda in November 2023, but the claim was denied without explanation, leaving me to cover the costs myself. With the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now investigating similar engine failures, I feel that my concerns are not isolated. Given my longstanding loyalty to Honda, I respectfully request financial compensation for these repair costs or, alternatively, a credit toward a certified used or new vehicle. I am open to working with Honda to resolve this matter fairly and amicably. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On September 30, 2024 I received a notice from Acura titled “Important Safety Notice” (Recall Number 23V-751). The recall concerns a manufacturing defect of the engine crankshaft. On October 1, 2024 I contacted Nalley Acura of Marietta, Georgia about scheduling an appointment and was told that the first available appointment was not until July 24, 2025 (almost ten months later). I was also told that the recall is not a safety concern and that I can continue to drive my car. I find it incredulous that Acura can issue a “safety recall” and then claim that the first opportunity to perform the repair is ten months later. Being forced to wait ten months to repair a manufacturing defect is outrageous and dangerous. Is this a subterfuge by the Company to avoid performing the repairs? In addition, I am confused by the dealerships response that this is not a safety concern. The recall notice states “due to a manufacturing defect of the engine crankshaft, the connecting rod bearing can prematurely wear and seize, causing engine damage. A damaged engine may run improperly or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a fire, crash, or injury”. Is the recall notice incorrect - that the matter under recall is not a safety concern? Additionally, I received a call from Honda Customer Service on Friday, October 4, 2024. Among other things, I was told that as part of the recall, I may be charged for a "diagnostic test" if the dealership looks at my car and finds a repair is not needed. Waiting ten months for a safety recall is unacceptable and I hope the NHTSA investigates this further and forces Acura to explain how it can take so long to perform the service caused by its manufacturing defect. Also, to incur a charge as part of the recall process is unacceptable and will only discourage consumers from taking their car to a dealer.

On May 11, 2024, while driving my 2017 Acura TLX on a local city street, multiple dashboard lights suddenly came on. Since that time these lights began to come back on more frequent and often will go into a Limp Mode. I have had the vehicle inspected at my local Acura dealership only to be told that the vehicles rear PAWS Actuators and Control Unit need to be replaced at a cost of around $8,000. They also informed me that a recall for this issue was only for the 2015 TLX and RLX models but there could be a recall for my model year at some future date. I find this to be unacceptable as I have found out there are multiple instances of this same issue happening with many other Acura owners.

Car experiences intermittent electrical system failure. Upon failure, drivers will experiance random and rapid clicking, clanking, and electrical systems discharging like lights, screens, and alarm. After restarting the car, users will find, all warning lights displayed with a few blinking: transmission, parking brake, traction control, a few more. Headlights will randomly turn on, as well as the alarm, intermittently. All ADAS offline. Experienced sudden system failure causing all ADAS to fail while stationary/parked or moving/(actively driving on highway). Does actively affect driving ability more specifically: disrupts steering ability, causes random malfunctions with electrical components, cannot exceed 40 mph, car will not shift above 3rd gear, engine does seem much louder. After a thorough investigation/diagnosis with the dealership I concluded the main fault is due to the "Smart Power Control Unit" located behind the glovebox compartment of the vehicle. More specifically, one of the chips on the circuit board is not fully coated with sealant from the factory, leading to a potential for some kind of mold, dust, or organic growth to form and short one of the ground pins on the end of the chip. Driver States: This is a control unit failure, I believe a small short on a single ground pin with the positively charged chip housing was causing a short within the control unit circuit board where the chip was not fully covered with non-conductive coating/sealant. This caused a handful of issues, like electrical systems prematurely wearing due to rapid discharge of electronics. Impairs drivers ability and ability in turning, braking, and accelerating. Also car will roll backwards if driver is not careful. BIGGEST CONCERNS: FIRE, partial loss of control while driving, and premature wear on electrical components. A extra note: Disconnecting battery does temporarily fix issue but rarely, most time it will start discharging electrical systems immediately or in the day.

There was a recall issued on Nov 2023. The manufacturer has informed me about this in Jan 2024. After that there is no update. In other words, its been 6 months and mfg still haven't fixed this. Based on what I read on the description of recall, this issue can be serious (Stall of engine) which is not safe and also can get expensive if it happens. So, I am raising this complaint hoping you will look in to this and make manufacturer act on this sooner.

My car’s lights were on. I went to Acura to get a diagnostic and they said to replace the fuel pump. I replaced it, and the lights came back on. I got another diagnostic and I was told the fuel pump has a leak. I have an 2017 Acura TLX that was not apart of the recent recall which I believe it should have been because my car is slow to steer which may cause an accident.

VEHICLE STALLED TWICE IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT CAUSED TRAFFIC. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.

Acura TLX TECH showing "Check Engine", "Break" and Warning sign on the dashboard. Vehicle was taken to Acura Dealer at East Brunswick on 08/29/2022. They inspected the car and advised that the issue with "Pipe Kit, Fuel Filler Part #06160-TZ3-A11". The part was ordered by the dealer up on my request with a comment that part is back ordered and no firm expected time per Acura corporate and advised that I shall look for part from other dealers as well. I was advised that vehicle is drivable. As a fallback I ordered part from OEM Acura Parts on 08/30/2022 and got the same message from them as well that its back ordered. Upon several follow ups and calls still part is unavailable and car is not fixed. Dealer advised in April 2023 that I shall call Acura corporate to determine the expected arrival and I open a case with Acura Corporate with Case ID: 13772219 and had follow up call with customer services on 04/21/2023 and 4/28/2023. Finally got a call back from Case Manager Chris on 05/01/2023 and he said "No definitive ETA, Part not available. What best he can do is to send period update via email and call when part is available." I am in the state of New Jersey and vehicle inspections are mandatory, My car inspection is due soon and in case car is not fixed, then there is no way vehicle will pass inspection and I will be forced NOT to drive the car.

UNKNOWN- I was on the Interstate coming from work when I heard a loud BOOM sound. Then I heard wind. I got to where I could pull over and saw nothing. I looked at my sunroof and it was completely shattered. Just out the blue. Thankfully my sunroof was closed and my shade was pulled or I would have been seriously injured or worse.

I was driving on highway 3 weeks ago and all of a sudden my car shifted into neutral on its own and would not let me select any gears. Luckily I was safely able to pull over to the shoulder without getting rear ended. Once I powered off the car and restarted, it let me select "D" drive gear again and behaved normally. I contacted Acura dealer and they said it is a software issue and Acura is aware of it and no fix is available at this time. Then it happened again 3 days ago while I was turning into a parking lot and this time I took it to dealer service department. They checked but could do nothing about it other than clean gear selector push buttons which does not solve the issue. My car has had all recommended maintenance including transmission fluid change done about 5000 miles ago. This is an extremely serious issue and could have resulted in major accident on highway resulting in injuries or death.

Every time I took my car in for State emissions test computer at facility said car could came back saying “not ready”. Took it 5 times and it always said same result. Took it to dealer and they said they’ve seen this before but don’t know what caused it. They said the only was to resolve it was for Acura mechanic to take car to testing facility while his laptop was hooked up to cat computer, to “trick” testing facility into allowing cat to pass EPA test. Car was still under warranty at this time and had 60,000 miles on it. Car passed tested dealer charged me $400 and said it was not covered under warranty because they could not find a code for the problem. Acura mechanic said he has seen this on other Acura TLXs…

Alarm system goes off randomly. Alarm does not “beep” when you press the key fob. Hood latch sensor is the problem.

Auto Stop/Start feature fails to restart vehicle, rendering vehicle inoperable. Powering off the vehicle and then powering up the vehicle thus far has restarted everything, much to the frustration of myself and the drivers behind me.

The contact owns a 2017 Acura TLX. The contact stated that since purchasing the vehicle, the vehicle experienced stalling failures without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. Additionally, the contact also stated that she turned off the auto start option. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the battery to be replaced. The contact replaced the battery but continued to experience the failure. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 15.

Auto start-stop system failed on several occasions, the car shut itself down Since then every time I start the cat I disable it. Transmission feels clunky, there is kick to it between 2nd and 3rd gear, many complaints found on the web. Bought the car with 16xxx miles 2 years old.

I have been stopped by traffic or stop light when I put my foot on the gas to start up, the car stalls. The whole dashboard is lights up and I have to try several times to get engine started. This is very scary.... I took the car to dealership. After 4 hours at the dealership and $155, my car is stalling again. I am scared I could get hurt in this car!
