Connecting rod bearing seizure leading to engine failure on the Tlx 2018 engine 3. 5 liter v6 engine. Our 2015 Tlx Acura we had to replace our engine because of the connecting rod bearing seizure and our extended warranty covered it around 2020. In 2023 the second the Acura motor which is Tlx 2018 engine 3. 5 liter v6 failed due to same problem, connecting rod bearing seizure. Acura will not do a recall on that motor. They say because its was manufacture in a different warehouse its not covered or a problem. I know there are other people struggling with the same issues on the 2018 engine. I know there are other investigations on this motor.

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 was driving on the freeway for about 5 minutes and literally out of no where my car began to make a strange noise and then my engine light came on. Following that my car shut off and I immediately lost power I pulled over as best I can and turn my hazard on eventually the car died because I couldn’t get a tow out fast enough and I’ve had it sitting at a shop ever since this incident. . Tell.

My 17 year old son drove across town about 6-7 miles from home, on a back road. Out of nowhere, his 2015 Tlx started to make a sound like knocking or thumping. Just moments afterwards, most if not all of the engine warning lamps illuminated at once. . He pulled off as best he could there was a loss of power and massive amounts of steam pouring out from the under hood. At sunrise I went to the car to wait for aaa I was astonished at the mess on the pavement under and around the car, and even more surprised to hear from my mechanic told that the engine had seized. I remember my mechanic using the word "warped" to describe it to me. I had him replace the engine, as I was I unaware of the recall at that time. It was not inspected by anyone besides my mechanic.

Three years ago, the car started stalling at traffic lights coming to a stop battery was replaced and the problem went away. A new battery was installed a few months ago and in the last week the same stalling situation has occurred three times. Acura says there’s a software update, and when the car was brought in for the recall on the connecting rod bearings, they said they refreshed the software pertaining to this issue, but obviously it does not work others say that it has to do with the idle stop and that disabling it resolves this problem. I haven’t tested this yet, but I am going to, but it’s an ongoing problem. That’s a major safety concern and could cause a fatal accident.

Oil pump seal leaking, was leaking prior to rod bearing recall repair, Acura didn't recommend nor replace during recall, engine is smoking, also at night, lane keep assist repeatly steers towards passing vehicle headlights almost causing head-on collision, extremely scary, this is ridiculous and I'm stuck with vehicle being I'm upside down on loan, absolutely a nightmare!!!! contacted dealership that completed recall and was given run around so I called Acura and they spoke with dealer, dealer waived diagnostic fee, but are charging for parts n services which I can't afford. And, I no longer trust them under my hood so unsure of what to do!!! this is my hard earned money at work!!!.

Bakersfield Acura don't have a answer yet when they are going to fix the recall.

When the vehicle is running in driveway and I then get into it a few minutes later and drive around the corner, when coming to a stop it jerks as if it wants to stall. This happens when I am driving as well and slow down, it’ll jerk and push me forward a little and happens daily so not sure why my VIN didn’t come up with a recall because it sounds a lot like the fuel pump issue the one recall mentioned.

Unable to get an appointment to address the connecting rod bearing recall until may 12, 2025 which is the earliest available. Apparently, Acura is not providing their dealers with enough required tools and parts to do more than 5-6 recall appointments per week with some weeks having no parts available. Given that the engine can actually seize if this issue is present, being asked to wait until may 2025 is simply I unacceptable and does not meet your comment on your website about effecting the repairs in a “timely manner”. I have contacted 4 different dealers and all report the same issues with lack of tools and parts. Acura needs to step up acquisition or manufacturing of tools and parts.

This complaint is not for a problem that has occurred. This is a complaint about the refusal of Acura (Honda) to perform the necessary inspection & potential repairs associated with recall report # 23v-751; potential connecting rod bearing issue. The intitial recall was issued in 11-2023 with instructions to await receipt of a letter from Acura in spring 2024, instructing me to schedule an inspection appt with an Acura dealer for inspection. I have called a local dealer several times over the last month & been put off for inspection appt due to "lack of parts". Today, 03-22-24, I was told by the dealer (maus Acura of tampa, FL) that no inspections would be performed until "the fall" of 2024 per the direction of Acura, unless my vehicle was currently experiencing an issue. "an issue" was defined as a loud repeated knocking noise from the engine, whose repetition is in direct relation to the engine rpm's. I was also told that the bearing inspection is not actually performed locally, but by Acura corporate based on pictures taken by the local dealer. Only then would they decide 1) replace rod bearings, or 2) replace the engine. I was told to expect another letter from Acura in the fall of 2024 directing me to schedule an inspection. At this point, it appears Acura is using a delaying tactic to avoid repairing a potentially dangerous defect, at the expense of my safety. This is in direct conflict to the intent of a safety recall. I don't appreciate this fact and its potential affects to my livelihood. I believe that a new form of pressure needs to be applied to Acura to force the inspections and repairs.

Accura service at cerritos California says it wont have the parts until April. I am afraid to drive my car until that date. I called on 01/15/2024 my number is 323-428-3428 jose arizmendi.

I received notice of a recall on my 2015 Acura Tlx in January 2024. The notice indicated parts were not available for repair and I would receive further notice when parts became available in early spring. I heard nothing by may 1 so called the dealer. They said parts are coming in slowly and the first available appointment they could give me for repair would be in August. I am planning to transfer this car to a family member in June, so this is unacceptable. It also means that I continue to be exposed to any safety problems that arise.

The dealer identified that the problem was related to a recall - NHTSA # 23v-751. He also informed me that it may be 3-4 months before Acura is ready ro rectify this problem.

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

The emissions control warning come on every now and then. . And it goes by it self I have my car completely stock. No modifications. . . The emission control light come on the dash following parking brake system problem. . I have file another complaint on another form. . . And it goes away by itself. . I've check with my dealership and they have not responded me yet.

My check airbag light came on. Also, when I'm driving, my car stalls in the middle of the road and is unable to move, and it keeps doing that. And it does not have a check engine light, but it keeps stalling.

When driving my car it is switching from drive to neutral on the rd.

I was driving, and my car started slowing down smoking under the hood with a loud noise under the hood like a knocking sounds. Then I heard a loud bang. Paid a tow company to tow my car to the shop mechanic found a large hole in the block. Last oil changed was did 03/16/2023. I called Acura to see if a recall had been reported after learning about other people having the same issues. It didn't seem normal for a car to blow a block that had oil in it and only 99,000 miles on the engine. Now my car is in the shop and I have been paying to get the engine replaced. 4739 14th Ave, columbus, GA 31904.

My car shifts itself into neutral automatically at times while I am driving. It has even happened on the interstate. When this happens it also flashes lots of warning signals on the dash and will be stalled for 4-5 minutes, engine will not shut down, just cannot shift into reverse or drive. The Acura dealership had it all day and they were stumped so they did a software update. I have read this exact problem has happened with other Acura's this same year and model and it was crimped wiring harness of the transmission.
