general problems of the 2015 Acura TLX - part 2

On various occasions, I have went to start my car and the car's keyless entry option will work and the lights, radio, ac, all of that will turn on but the car's engine will not turnover. Consequently, I have had to have my car jump started for it to completely turn over. Other times, all of the warning lights will come on and say that all the safety features including, lkas, blind-spot monitor, brake hold, steering, etc. Systems have failed and all warning/error lights/messages will pop up and then will go away after the car has been turned off for 10-15 minutes.

I have had the vehicle into the dealer 3 times (Feb 2018, July 2018 and Nov 18) for the same problem. Each time the vehicle stalls and must bet into park and restarted when at a stop sign, stop light or stopped for road construction on the highway. The automatic idle causes the car to stall. In order to get it going must shift into park and restart. It is very frightening because it happens intermittently. This happens with no warning and presents a safety issue. The car is not safe and is a hazard.

The onboard system crashed while I was driving. All the warnings on the dash went off. The car automatically went into park. When I placed the car into drive mode the parking brake would not disengage. I turned off and on my car the issues persisted. After I turned off and on my car a third time the car allowed me to drive it.

While driving at 45mph the car lost power I. E. , steering, brakes, stability control and transmission and was unable to unlock parking brake.

The vehicle was taken to king Acura located at (1687 montgomery hwy, hoover, al 35216) where it was determined that the failure was linked to a defective battery. The battery was replaced however, a few months after the battery replacement, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer. The contact was then referred to the manufacturer. The contact was informed to disable the auto start feature as a possible fix for the failure. The auto start feature was disable however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

My name is pouyan tabrizi, in 2014 I walked into marin Acura (located in marin, California) and leased a 2015 Acura Tlx. This was especially an exciting model due to it redesign. Within the first year of my lease I received a recall letter in the mail stating that their was a defect in regards to the transmission. I brought the vehicle to the dealer and they ¿fixed¿ it and sent me on my way. One year later, again, I received a letter in the mail from the automobile devision located at your corporate headquarters at 1919 torrance blvd, CA (NHTSA recall # 16v-640). The letter clearly states ¿if this malfunction were to occur, it could result in an unexpected loss of motor power, which could reduce vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash¿. It also states that the ¿fix¿ will become available December 2016, todays date is November 7th, 2016. I have been driving this vehicle for 2 out of my 3 year lease and the transmission has been recalled twice consistently every year. I have put my two children and wife into this vehicle now knowing that the car could have possibly put my family and myself in physical danger and even death. Not because driving is dangerous but because there have been manufacturing defects with the transmission of this Acura model and year. I cannot describe what it feels like to have that on the mind of a parent. I see this being handled in one way. Acura takes away the car and refunds me my total vehicle lease investment along with my down payment. Please take this matter into serious consideration as I am fully prepared to legally escalate this matter beyond the consumer-company level. I can¿t imagine how many Acura 2015 Tlx¿s there are nation wide. This experience has been a disaster financially, emotionally and according to Acura potentially physically.

Acura by executive (527 washington Ave, north haven, CT) was notified of the failure. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 62,000.

The original failure was scary. We had just left texas hwy 130 (80 mph toll way), when we sustained the original failure. As it failed, everybody in the car thought I had slammed on the brakes by the way the car buckled (like a bucking horse), it had done a violent sudden stop and release; the car went to idle and coasted for a bit without response from the engine; I studied the panel because everything was lit up; once I decided the engine was still idling, I pressed the accelerator slowly until I decided I had some control; checked the failure messages; then tried to drive the car. The car could be driven, I drove it slowly with the hazard lights on, the car buckled every so often. Since we were close to home we went there. Had this happened at 80 mph, I don't know what would have happened.

There was no accident. This car is the 4 cylinder, tech model. The transmission hesitates shifting from reverse to drive. It also will hesitate when turning a corner sometimes. The other problem with this car is the climate control system (listed as electrical above). It simply doesn't work correctly. The driver side tested 8 degrees different than the passenger side. So if I have the drive side set at 75 degrees for heat it feels like 68 degrees. When on the heat setting, the fan appears to disperse more out of the defroster than it does below the dash. I have to turn the car climate control setting on the driver side to 80+ degrees and use the ac dash vents to keep my upper body and hands warm. There are many complaints on the Acura Tlx forum about the climate control issue. I have made attempts to get Acura to address the heater climate control issue.

I was accelerating from 40 mph to 50 mph when the car suddenly stopped accelerating, beeped, and started flashing all system errors in orange on the dash display. The car would not go above 50 mph, as if the gas was being choked off at that point. Car was towed to dealer. They had the car for a week before it was "fixed". The exact same error just occurred for a second time while I was accelerating and merging into a busy highway lane. Car is again at the dealer for almost a week and counting. While it hasn't caused an accident yet, this is extremely dangerous. I was nearly rear-ended when my car stopped accelerating and started decelerating on a busy highway. In between these occurrences, I have had other random errors, such as the lane departure warning system activating while driving straight down the center of a lane. When this occurs, the steering wheel is "tugged" towards the direction it thinks it needs you to go. Very dangerous when the car is trying to tug you out of your lane into another. The random errors that occur are all with the same systems that flash error warnings all over the dash on the two occasions that the car has stopped functioning properly. Ldw, acc, braking system, vsc. . . All important safety systems!.

The safety incident(s) to be reported: 1) vehicle seemed to ¿jump into neutral� when decelerating almost to a stop (e. G. To make a turn) resulting in the engine revving and no power when the accelerator is pressed. Tach did not move and the transmission display still reads d. This left me in the middle of an intersection with no power being delivered to the wheels. There was no oncoming traffic. Unfortunately this has happened repeatedly when the engine is cold. So far there have been no accidents. Each of the following safety problems are also ongoing: 2) intermittent and variable duration hesitation from a stopped position (or slowed down to around 10mph or less and then accelerating) makes it dangerous to turn swiftly across oncoming traffic. 3) intermittent and variable duration slipping when trying to accelerate from a slow (10mph or less) coast makes it dangerous to perform any maneuver that requires a swift and reliable response from the transmission. 4) intermittent and variable duration revving between gears when kicking down to try to pass another vehicle makes such maneuvers risky.
