2015 Acura TLX UNKNOWN OR OTHER

As I was driving my 2015 Acura TLX the status indicator on the dashboard started flashing all sort of messages, VSA, transmission, park, so on and so forth. Atleast 5-10 different messages displayed and all sorts of warning lights showed up. The vehicle then shifted to Neutral (N) and flashed N repeatedly. I was able to pull off the road safely but I was unable to put the car in Park, Drive, Reverse. I was only able to use the parking brake and shut the car off. I tried turning the vehicle on twice and both times it was in Neutral. After letting the car sit for 30 minutes I tried starting it again and at that point the vehicle was in park and only displayed approximately 3 messages; I was able to drive the vehicle again. I’ve owned this vehicle for 10 years and it’s gone into Neutral once before. I’ve also had the vehicle display multiple messages while driving. The vehicle was drivable with the few messages and after a few days the messages went away and functioned normally.

Vehicle was inspected and this was the finding. I have never been contacted to resolve this.

UNKNOWN/ active recall

While driving, the vehicle shift into neutral unexpectedly, causing the transmission indicator to come on and OTC. Was going downhill when it happened but luckily I got off the road and went into a residential neighborhood to park. It was left on Neutral and could not shift to any gears. I put the emergency brake so the car wouldn't move down. I later found out after the car was towed that I was able to shift gears due to turning off the vehicle. P0657 was the code provided when it was scanned by an OBD2. VIN# 19UUB2F33FA014519

Engine shut down at stop (gas saving feature) when I try to go again give it gas car stalls.

ALL OF THE SYSTEMS LIGHTS STARTED CYCLING THROUGH STATING THAT THEY HAD "PROBLEMS." THIS HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, WITH NO WARNING. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED JUST LAST WEEK.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING 55MPH, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT AND GLASS WAS ALL OVER THE SHADE, THANKFULLY THE SHADE WAS CLOSED SO THE GLASS DIDN'T GET ON US OR IN THE CAR, I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON A STREET ENTERING THE CITY

2015 ACURA TLX FREQUENTLY STALLS, DOES NOT RESTART WHEN IDLE STOP FEATURE IS USED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN AT AN INTERSECTION AND I AM STALLED, HAVING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. BROUGHT THE CAR IN TWICE TO ACURA IN 2016 WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN TO ACURA THIS WEEK AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT, INDICATING THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH TLX'S AND MLX'S. SAID REPLACING THE STARTER HELPED ONE CUSTOMER BUT SINCE NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND MY STARTER (AND BATTER AND ALTERNATOR) ALL CHECK OUT FINE, THEY DIDN'T RECOMMEND TRYING THAT. NORMALLY I TURN OFF THE FEATURE (WHICH THEY ARE UNABLE TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE) WHICH IS WHY I HAVEN'T BROUGHT IT BACK IN MORE FREQUENTLY BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING IF I FORGET TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE FEATURE AND IT STALLS.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START AND IT DOESN'T START.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAILURE DO NOT WANT TO GO IN REVERSE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS 2015 TLX ALWAYS TAKES TO DEALERSHIP EVEN CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FUILD A YEAR AGO NOW HAVING ISSUES. NO ONE ELSE HAS TOUCH THIS VEHICLE ONLY ACURA DEALERSHIP.

THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE ACURA THAT DEALS WITH ISSUES CAUSING RATTLING OR VIBRATIONS FELT IN THE FLOOR AND FRONT SEATS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN 16-009 AFFECTS 2015 ACURA TLX AWD MODELS WITH THE VIN 19UUB3F.. FA000001-FA004363. THE PROBABLE CAUSE IS THAT THERE MAY BE AN ASSEMBLY IMBALANCE BETWEEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THE PROPELLER SHAFT. THE SERVICE BULLETIN 16-057 AFFECTS ALL 2015-2016 V6 MODELS WITH ALL VIN NUMBERS. POSSIBLE CAUSE IS THE SUBFRAME BUSHING MATERIALS LACKS ABSORPTION ABILITY, CAUSING THE ENERGY FROM THE REAR WHEELS TO BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE FLOOR AND SEAT. BOTH SERVICE BULLETINS ARE NOT RECALLS EVEN THOUGH THEY AFFECT SPECIFIC CARS AND EVEN ALL MODELS ON ONE CAR. ALL COSTS COME OUT OF POCKET FOR ACURA OWNERS.

I BOUGHT A USED ACURA TLX WITH 83000 MILES ON IT .. I DROVE IT 1500 MILES IT START SHIFTING HARD . THE BMV USED DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT. IT WORKED FOR 700 MILES NOW IT SHIFTS HARD AGAIN WORST, AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX IT

WHILE DRIVING/ACCELERTING ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO A HIGHWAY, HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 55 DEGREES, CLEAR SKIES. APPROX SPEED 40MPH.

ON NOV 18, 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROX 65 MPH THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY FLASHED ALL PRESET EMERGENCY ALERTS ON THE DASHBOARD CONTINUOUSLY. AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT USING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND TENSION WAS FELT. THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC FORCING MYSELF TO PULL OVER AND EVACUATE ONTO THE NEAREST EXIT RAMP. ONCE THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP OFF THE FREEWAY THE VEHICLE KEPT ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN 'NEUTRAL' WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK SO I COULD ALLOW FOR A SAFE SHUT OFF. UPON STOPPING AND THEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO DISPLAY IN A REPETITIVE PATTERN ALL THE PRESET WARNINGS/ALERTS. UPON SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY A SECOND TIME THE ALERTS NO LONGER DISPLAYED AND FLASHED REPETITIVELY ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE PLACED IN REVERSE THEN DRIVE WITHOUT NORMALLY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN 2 WEEKS. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ACURA ELK GROVE I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $195 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST SINCE THE CAR HAD SURPASSED 50K MILES AND NO LONGER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY ACURA ELK GROVE FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING APPROX 45MPH ON A CITY STREET REQUIRING ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE CAR DECELERATED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT USE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL.

I HAVE A 2015 ACURA TLX 4CYCLINDER 8 SPEED DCT BASE..VEHICLE HAVE A HEAVY VIBRATION IN GEAR AT STOP..THERE IS A HEAVY VIBRATION ON BRAKE PEDAL AND SEAT..THE WHOLE FRONT END IS SHAKING WITH HEAVY VIBRATION AND ENGINE RATTLE...TOOK CAR TO DEALER THE STATE THAT THEY FEEL THE VIBRATION IS BUT ITS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME FROM ACURA

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.

TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE FIRST 1500 MILES ON THE CAR. NO FIX FOR TRANS ISSUE. STILL HAVING SIMIALR PROBLEM WITH NEW TRANSMISSION. FRONT LEFT STRUT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTS IF NEEDED AND HAVE A LEMON LAW LAWYER COURT DATE IS 12/8/16.

2015 BLACK ACURA TLX FINANCED VIA LEASE OPTION WITH A LOCAL DEALER (FOUNTAIN ACURA, 8703 ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32809). SINCE I LEASED THIS VEHICLE BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015; I HAVE HAD THE BELOW ISSUES: *NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH DISPLACEMENT. THE CAR SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER PER MY REQUEST; HOWEVER, AFTER BEING REPLACED IT STILL NOISES OUT OF THE NORMAL AND DOES NOT OPERATE AS SMOOTH AS THE OTHER SEATS. NOT TO MENTION SCRATCHES I NOTICED INSIDE THE CAR DUE TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW SEAT. *LOUD NOISE IN THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION. *THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED TO ME WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE, WHICH I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH BECAUSE THE DEALER NEVER ADVISED THE VEHICLE DIDN'T COME WITH A SPARE TIRE. *THE VEHICLE PRESENTS VERY ROUGH AND HIGH INCREMENTS IN THE SPEED AFTER MAKING NORMAL ACCELERATIONS. WHICH MAKE MYSELF AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS FEEL SERIOUSLY UNSAFE AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. AFTER PRESENTING ALL THESE ISSUES AND A FORMAL CLAIM TO FOUNTAIN ACURA AND THEIR SALES PERSONNEL; THEY HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEMS JUST ARGUING THAT 'THAT IS THE WAY THE CAR RUNS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT'. I HAVE SENT A FORMAL COMPLAINT VIA MAIL TO BOTH THEIR HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE, CA AND IN TOKYO, JAPAN. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AT ALL WITH ALL THE ISSUES IT HAS AND I REFUSE TO HAVE TO KEEP IT FOR THE REMAINING TIME OF THE LEASE. ACURA SHOULD DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEMS OR TAKE THIS CAR OUT OF THE MARKET.

ON BOTH DAYS SEPT 22 AND SEPT 23, 2015, AS I WAS DRIVING, I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN. JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND EVERYONE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD, MY CAR SHUT DOWN. AN EDISTON BULB POPPED UP ON THE DASH, YELLOW COLOR, AND THE WORDS "SHIFT TO PARK" BUT IT DISAPPEARED WITHIN 2 SECS. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK INTO THE DEALER TODAY. I ALSO HAVE THE JERKY TRANSMISSION, THE SUDDEN SURGE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THE DELAY IN THE ACCELERATION. A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD BUT THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED THO THE RPMS WENT UP BUT IT WOULDN'T MOVE. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL AND SLIPPED IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND PROCEEDED OKAY. I HAVE INTERMITTENT GARAGE REMOTE. WHEN USING THE DOWNSHIFT PADDLE, THE CAR SPEEDS UP WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE BEGINNING. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND THEY ARE THE SAME AS EVERYONE'S. ANOTHER TIME MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND IT TOOK 20 MINS AND TRIED THE TWO DIFFERENT KEYS PLUS THE MANUAL KEY IN THE DOOR BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I WAS IN MY GARAGE. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CONTROLS, THE BLUETOOTH, STEREO, ETC. EXCEPT THE ENGINE. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR LIGHTS AND DASH. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO RESET THE CAR. I CALLED ACURA AND THEY WERE SENDING A TOW TRUCK TO JUMP START THE CAR. I SAID THAT THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. AFTER A WHILE, THE CAR FINALLY STARTED ABOUT 20 MINS LATER AND I CALLED AND CANCELLED THE TOW TRUCK. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. BUT MDX HAS MANY REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER WOULDN'T FIX MY CAR SO THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. IT HASN'T REOCCURRED AND I HOPE IT DOESN'T IN AN AREA OR TIME OUTSIDE OF MY HOME.

I LEASED THE 2015 TLX IN JANUARY 2015. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK IN WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS BECAUSE WHEN I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME THAT IT WAS DUE TO "THE WHEELS REALIGNING". I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN WITHIN ONE MONTH (FEBRUARY) FOR THE SAME ISSUES, IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS. HAVING BEEN TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, I FOUND AN ARTICLE ONLINE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING. AFTER ALERTING THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM, THEY CONTACTED ACURA/HONDA TO LEARN OF A "COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATE" WHICH WAS COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES SINCE I LEASED THE CAR IN JANUARY, WHERE A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" IS COMPLETED ON MY CAR. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND I HAVE MY 5TH APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR NEXT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2015. I HAVE ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP AND MY SALESPERSON THAT I'M NOT COMFORTABLE IN THIS CAR AND DO NOT PLAN ON CONTINUING TO BRING MY CAR IN EVERY FEW WEEKS FOR A TEMPORARY FIX.
