general problems of the 2015 Acura TLX - part 1

Electrical brake signal came on and emission light.

Acura Tlx stop start system it will turn off on red light or stop! engine fails to restart on its own! jump start required!!!! is not safe for millions of families!.

I will be driving down the interstate and the car will go into neutral and throw a transmission code. It appears to happened when the car reaches 60mph.

I was driving on the freeway going at the speed of traffic about 65-70mph then suddenly I heard my car engine slowing down and multiple lights popped up on my dashboard. I looked at my speedometer and it indeed was decreasing in speed. I tried to accelerate little by little and it did not. My check brake system, check brake hold system, check power steering system, check vsa system, check hillstart assist system, check emission system lights popped up on my dashboard. My car felt like I was popping the clutch, jerking a lot. I was able to move over to the right shoulder and park. I turned the car off and I was able to turn it back on unfortunately but the lights were still popping up and my car kept jerking and not accelerating. This happened while driving on the highway this is extremely dangerous! there has been others with the same issue.

All lights turned on randomly during drive. Replaced battery 2x seeing it was a common issue in my year Acura and also newer models. Still have the issue occuring. All lights from transmission error to lane keep asist ect.

The car is constantly throwing codes for faulty emissions system problem and parking brake problem but the car runs fine. The dealership will not do anything unless I pay them a fee to diagnose it and then they suggest replacing the catalytic converter even though it’s very likely a faulty fuel hose or faulty sensor. This needs to be recalled and fixed immediately.

Multiple warnings occur on information screen. 1. Transmission system problem. 2. Blind spot info system problem. 3. Electric parking brake problem. 4. Emissions system problem. Transmission begins to slip and behave radically. Rpm rev above normal as if it can't upshift. Dealer recently did service on transmission and replaced module. Also had recall service completed for stalling at intersections/full stop. Vehicle has had transmission issues throughout our ownership. Approx. 6 yrs. Bought used from dealer.

While driving vehicle goes into neutral on its own and will not go back into drive for at least 30 mins.

While driving approx 65 mph on a freeway the vehicle placed itself into neutral and decelerrated as multiple warnings flashed across dashboard. . . “emissions system problem”, “transmission system problem”, “electric parking brake problem”. I was able to pull off to the side of an exit ramp but once I put the car in park I could not shift into drive. I could not safely drive/manuever my vehicle to a safer area putting myself and child at risk of being hit. I turned the car on/off multiple times to attempt to shift into drive, but to no avail. I called the nearest Acura dealer which was in the next town over from where I was stranded. After many failed attempts I was able to put the car in drive and move my vehicle to the closest road and off to the side but with the warnings still flashing. The last successful attempt I was able to put the car in drive again and without any further warnings flashing on dashboard. Drove 20 minutes to the nearest Acura dealer and was charged $300 for the diagnosis and update of 3 systems. Informed dtc code p0657, actuator supply voltage circuit/open, was found prior to system updates: transmission control module update, pgm-fi update, and abs system update.

The car was in motion then shifted into a different gear . I didn’t have have control of the gears. A digital “check transmission” warning flashed on the car dashboard. After 2 hours I removed the terminal from the battery in order to move the car. The car stopped in the middle of the road during this problem. Someone could've hit me from behind with my children in the car . One car was close enough to hit me but ended up swerving into a ditch to avoid hitting my car . I spoke to marietta Acura dealership in GA and was told there was no recall on my car .

First item: vehicle keeps shutting off during idle while parked or while brake is depressed. It has happened multiple times. I've done some research and see there are several sites indicating issues with the fuel pump and vehicle stalling. Acura says there are no current recalls. I'm not the only person this is happening to. Second issue: vehicle has gone into neutral on its own while driving. At first I thought maybe I hit the neutral button by mistake and didn't think of anything but then the most recent was coming out if a gas station and pulled up to a stop sign and it went into neutral. I just bought this car on June 1st.

This issue is with the start-stop system. The car fails to restart after it the car stops and the engine shuts off. The car has been serviced twice for this issue. The battery and a cable were replaced at my expense. This resolved the issue for a few months, but it returned again in February of 2022. The battery was replaced under warrantee at that time. This issue has now returned again July, 2022. In at least two of the instances I felt I was extremely at risk as the car was stalled in busy intersections forcing traffic to make emergency stops be hind me or take evasive actions to avoid hitting my car. The normal starting procedure to start the car did not seem to work. There was nothing to indicated to me that there was an issue.

Car has feature that kills engine when at full stop. Car fails to automatically restart, often stalling at intersections and causing a dangerous situation. Car has to be turned off and restarted, a process that can take 15 to 30 seconds. With a brand new battery and/or full charge, the car performs flawlessly. It appears that the electrical demands of the car system exceed the ability of the battery and alternator to meet demand. I currently have an agm battery less than two years old. We typically have 1 to 3 incidents per month where will forget to disable the auto start system, and the car stalls in busy traffic when at a full stop. We bought the car used in 2017, and this problem has been consistent throughout ownership. Dealer answer is that there is nothing wrong with car.

While driving on a highway the car lost all power and every dashboard light came on and started blinking. Car wouldn’t shift gear and lost all power abruptly! I almost caused a horrible accident and this has happened at least 10 times now and I’ve only had my car a year!!!!.

The gears are very jerky I got this Tlx at 70k miles and its been jerky ever since. Car looses power when turning from stop the steering get hard sometimes. Transmission chirping noises.

I was driving to the store, my car jerked really hard, then as I turned the car off bought my items from the store. Coming back my car didn’t want to start at all. All the lights on the dashboard came on.

My car completely lost all power and died on the freeway. All the dash board lights came on and I could break or steer and the car was stuck in neutral.

When driving on a windy road around 40mph the car went into limp mode causing the car to suddenly decelerate to 5 mph which nearly caused an accident by the car behind me. The car then started displaying multiple error codes on the dash (electric parking brake problem, emissions system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problem, lane departure warning problem).

After a traffic light stop, I accelerated and the car lost acceleration, then the check engine turned on. I pulled over and had no response from the accelerator. Check engine was flashing. I turned off the car then turned it back on, and problem was gone acceleration came back. I merge into my lane again and not even 100 ft when my dash lights came on, like a christmas tree. Every light in my dash was lit. The following are some of the lights that were on. Power steering park check engine adaptable cruise control problem collision sign seatbelt traction control oil light abs collision light brake system problem acc lkas vehicle stability assist the issue appeared to be electrical since the mechanical parts of the car looked ok. I drove the car home at 55 mph since thats as fast as it will let me drive it. I stopped at a autozone to scan the obd computer and just a misfire on cylinder 2 code came up which is strange that a misfire would cause this problem. No other codes came out. Note: car had no check engine light on before this in 179,000 miles we have owned it. Went home disconnected the battery then hook it back on. Problem went away. It hasnot happened in 12 hrs. The issue is I dont trust the car anymore. If this would have happened in the freeway 10 at 80 mph with traffic, I would have cause a deadly crash. Then I looked on you tube and there is practically dozens of Acura owners with identical issues, some of them avoided crashes because of loss of power. Dealers cant find solutions, in the comments section all I read is people asking if someone found a solution. Seems like Honda should be doing something about it , to keep their costumers safe. Hope this letter gets to them and NHTSA do something about it, before it takes someone's life.

Acura Tlx 2015 consistant draining battery issue for the past 3 years. The battery was replaced March 2019 while under warranty, malfunctioned 9 months later (Dec. 2019) and was finally replaced elsewhere February 2020 (due to ongoing dispute with Acura). . . Now February 2021 the same battery draining issue has returned.

The contact owns a 2015 Acura Tlx. The contact stated while driving at 35 mph, the vehicle safety warning brake light, lane departure and steering light illuminated on the vehicle and would not turn off. The contact was able to pull over the vehicle into a parking lot where they had the vehicle towed to local dealer proctor Acura (3523 w tennessee st, tallahassee, FL 32304) who diagnosed the failure as the rear actuators. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,000.

While driving I noticed that my car didn't seem to shift correctly. I pulled over and accelerated again. Got to my destination and noticed the car wasn't moving harldy as I pulled up to park. Once I parked, I put it in reverse to pull up again and it was making a loud noise and jerking when I put it in reverse. I did this like 3 times to try and figure out what was going on. After about 4 hours I went to leave my destination and it shifted into reverse just fine. I was relieved until after about 5 minutes of driving and then every light illuminated on the dash and the car wasn't accelerating as it should have been. The rpm's were going up but car was barely moving. I made it home but now sick to my stomach because I have no idea what this could be. Not sure if it needs to be towed to a shop or if I can or should drive it if possible.

This vehicle is so unsafe . I had lots of different situations happen and when I take it to the dealership they check it and say it's fine ! the vehicle stalls and hesitates and I get sensors going off constantly including the brake sensor when there is nothing in front of me for it to go off . I've had the vehicle go in park by itself while on a light. The vehicle doesn't start and always needs a jump I got the battery checked multiple times and the dealership told me my battery is good and I have to charge it . I believe there is an electrical issue with this vehicle . My vehicle only has 30,000 miles I have all my maintenance done at the dealership on time I purchased this vehicle thinking it's reliable being I'm a mother of two kids!.

Car won't crank and won't start. Ended up stranded numerous times within the last 2 months while out shopping. Each time stranded, the car would start after being jumped by another vehicle each time. After the first account of being stranded and jumped by another vehicle, I immediately drove to the dealership and was told by the dealership that my car battery was testing "very good" and they said my battery would recharge itself and that the drainage could be due to the hot texas weather. Not so much the case as I ended up stranded two days after that, once again. Then, a week or so later, on another account of being stranded and jumped started by another vehicle, I drove to autozone to have them test my battery to find that it then too tested "very good. " autozone suggested that I purchase a portable car charger, so I did. Came to find out that upon being stranded the fourth time, the portable charger was unable to get me jumped/started. So, I had to call roadside assistance. Roadside assistance tried using "their" portable car charger but failed to work. So the rep pulled out his jumper cables and was able to jump my car after about 5 minutes. At that point, I went back to autozone and decided to purchase a new car battery even though my existing battery tested "very good" once again. Immediately following the battery replacement, my srs airbag light became illuminated and has been on since then. It's been 3 weeks since I've had the new batter installed and I'm now stranded again. I've seen way tooo many posts with other folks experiencing this same issue. Please investigate!!!!!.

I turned off my car for a moment when I attempted to start back up it would not turn over at all.

After replacing my battery on my 2015 Tlx I started receiving warning codes saying emission system problem and electric parking brake problem. I went to 3 different Acura dealerships for a diagnosis and was given a different diagnosis from each dealership. I first seen the codes as I was entering the expressway at approximately 35 mph 1 week after getting a new battery.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Acura Tlx. The contact stated the vehicle indicator lights illuminate on and off (check admission, check parking brake system) every couple of days. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnosis (scanlon Acura 14270 s tamiami trail, fort myers, FL 33912) the diagnosis were unable to detect the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of this issue, the failure mileage was 27,000 tp.

Acura Tlx 2015 consistant draining battery issue for the past 3 years. The battery was replaced March 2019 while under warranty, malfunctioned 9 months later and was finally replaced elsewhere February 2020 (due to ongoing dispute with Acura). . . Now February 2021 the same battery draining issue has returned.

Starting in Nov 2019 my Acura Tlx started to spontaneously decelerate and lose engine power when in motion. Error code of p0087 was provided by Acura of milford, CT and was highly suggestive of replacing high pressure fuel pump. The engine fuel pump was replaced in early Dec 2019 however the car continued with loss of power, terrible gas mileage, poor acceleration and multiple warnings illuminated. Acura of milford was contacted and they noted it may be the other fuel pump that needed to be replaced. The second in tank fuel pump was replaced mid Dec 2019 with no improvement. The car was brought to Acura Dec 31, 2019 and they said there was nothing to be found, they reset the p0087 code and did a hard reset. The car still continued with the same symptoms but now with a humming noise present. In Feb 2020, the fuel rail and sensor was replaced, yet still no improvement. The car was taken back to Acura and once again they reset the error code and noted they only found corrosion near the sensor and they cleaned it off. Car was driving much worse now and if it loss power it would not start up unless cranked 15-25 times in a 10 min window. March 2020 the spark plugs were replaced and the car is still not driving right, all symptoms still present and the humming noise is getting louder. This car has loss power while in motion randomly in the middle of traffic, both on street and most dangerously on the highway, embarrassing but thankful to some good samaritans that have exited their vehicle to push me safety on multiple occasions. Acura can not duplicate the problems yet just resets the error code and sends me on my way to call if it happens again. It has been happening frequently since Nov 2019 and no one can tell me what the issue is, even after I have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this car based off their guesses.

The vsa problem light & forward collision warning problem light came up while driving and the vehicle stopped & stalls all in a sudden. Not sure if this is a safety issue, but almost got into a car accident. Please help! thank you.

The car has an intermittent problem where the car dies completely after it comes to a stop (numerous times) and it can be turn on for a few minutes. There has been incidents where I have come close to be hit in the rear of the car (by other cars) because the car won't re-start immediately. Dealers have try to fix the problem but the situation remains the same.

In an impact with a parked car that totaled the Tlx , the airbags never deployed which led to injury to the drivers chest and the hip of the passenger in the front of the car. The attached picture show that the front in is crushed while the inside pictures show that the airbags never deployed. After the impact the car could not be controlled. Per driver, she tried to break, but car did not stop. She tried to turn power off at ignition but that did not stop. Put car in park but it continued rolling backwards until the car impacted a retaining wall damaging the backend of the car. Still, Acura safety system never deploys airbags. According to the driver, after the collision all systems failed. She was unable to brake or stop the car with gears or turning power off. We have more pictures. It seems I was only able to load 1.

I opened my sun roof and now it won't close. When attempting to close the moon roof will reverse direction when contacting the wind deflector and will not auto-close either. I took it into Acura but was told I had to pay $350 an hour for labor because they would have to take it apart. And plus parts, the warranty does not cover does not cover this. . I don't think it is anything I did and have seen on website this has happened to other Acura rdx vehicles within the last years. I will be taking my vehicle in to another place to get fixed because things get in when I drive on the freeway.

Traveling on interstate in the middle lane when my cars transmission went in to neutral and the instrument panel started to flash error messages I. E. Stop driving when safe transmission problem see manual,electrical parking brake problem, emissions systems problem, transmission system problems, transmission problem apply parking brake when parked, all wheel drive system problem, and blind spot info system problem. All I can do is cost over two lanes of traffic and get to the side of the interstate in fear of an accident.
