My car has stalled over 50 times since I’ve had my vehicle less than 90 days and they can’t seem to figure out what’s going on I had the car looked at over 3 times

WHEN DRIVING RANDOMLY SIGN SHOWS UP FOR "CHECK ENGINE OIL". SIGN'S SHOWS UP WITH PRESSING BRAKE, MAKING TURNS, GOING OVER SPEED-BUMPS. SIGN WILL DISAPPEAR BUT WILL COME ON, AFTER ANYONE OF THE ABOVE HAS OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENS ON LOCAL ROADS, HIGHWAYS, INNER CITY, AND SPEED BUMPS.

MY CAR MODEL IS ONE OF MANY HONDA VEHICLES RECALLED IN 2019. THE CAR WARNS ME ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT MALFUNCTIONS EACH TIME I START THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED TO ACURA BUT NO ANSWER TO MY CONCERNS AND I'M VERY FRUSTRATED DRIVING MY CAR KNOWING THE AIRBAG MAY NOT PROTECT ME DURING ACCIDENTS.

THE CAR DOOR LOCKS, OR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS, HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES ( EACH DOOR AT LEAST TWICE) IN FIVE YEARS. THE CAR IS NOW EIGHT YEARS OLD AND ALL THE ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. THE SAFETY ISSUE ARISES WHEN THE DOOR SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AFTER REACHING 10MPH, BUT THEY DO NOT DUE TO ACTUATORS FAILING TO LOCK DOOR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DOORS TO OPEN IF INVOLVED IN CRASH. I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD ALSO ALLOW UNWANTED PEOPLE FROM ENTERING MY VEHICLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. ANOTHER ISSUE IS IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF ALL OF THE ACTUATORS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, AS IT REQUIRES MANUAL ACTIVATION OF LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH ACURA. I KNOW OF OTHER TSX OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED FROM ACURA AND THEY HAVE DECLINED THE REPAIR, STATING THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THEIR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ACTUATORS ARE AN ISSUE.

ON DECEMBER 11 , 2017, I TURNED MY CAR ON START AND IT STARTED SHOWING ME THREE WARNING LIGHTS. I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS DISAPPEAR. I TURNED ON MY CAR THE NEXT DAY AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL SHOWING. ITS ASKING TO FIX THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. MY CAR IS DETECTING OR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM.

TO SEE IF THE CAR HAS A RECALL

I CALLED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE AIRBAGS TO BE REPLACED AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD ORDER THEM AND CALL ME BACK. THEY NEVER RECEIVED THE NEW AIRBAGS AND DID NOT CALL ME. I HAVE CALLED AGAIN AND WILL CALL AGAIN THIS WEEK.

HAZE OVER LIGHT

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.

2010 ACURA TSX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VSA LIGHT ISSUES. *SMD THE DEALER FOUND THE WHEEL SENSOR ON THE LEFT FRONT WAS BAD, DUE TO INTERNAL FAILURE THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSOR. THEY ALSO FOUND THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS LEAKING GREASE AND CAUSED THE WHEEL SENSOR TO GO BAD. THEY REPLACED THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING. THE HIGH BUTTON ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WARMER LIGHT WAS INOPERABLE. ALSO, THE THIRD CLUTCH PRESSURE SWITCH FAILED. THE DASHBOARD WAS BUBBLING IN THE CENTER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY DISCOLORED. THE POWER WINDOWS WERE MOVING SLOWLY UP AND DOWN. THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES SQUEAKING, DESPITE THE REAR BRAKES BEING REPLACED, THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN, THE SEAT BELT COVER BROKE. ALSO, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. *JB

BOTH REAR MAIN BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE FAILED. FUSE REPLACED AND LIGHTBULBS STILL DOES NOT WORK. INTERNET SEEMS TO POINT TO WIRING UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE, BEFORE THE FUSEBOX. SAFETY ISSUE. THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT DOES WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 ACURA TSX. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF QUART OF OIL EVERY THOUSAND MILES. THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

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.

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.
