general problems of the 2015 Acura TLX

Vehicle displays two warnings under normal usage. First warning is emissions system issue and second is brake system failure. The vehicle runs completely normal and operational, however these two warnings flash on the vehicle. The parking brake indicator also flashes. Vehicle has been to dealership/shop for multiple repairs; around 3-4 repairs within two months with no resolve for the same warning/issue.

The fuel delivery system, specifically the fuel pump, has malfunctioned. This vehicle is subject to a fuel pump safety recall, which was reportedly repaired in 2022; however, the vehicle continues to experience the same failure symptoms and is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has stalled multiple times at highway speeds, resulting in sudden loss of power while driving and creating an immediate risk of collision with surrounding traffic. My family was in the vehicle during these incidents, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury or death. The problem has been reproduced multiple times, including after the vehicle was taken to an authorized Acura dealership. During the most recent visit, diagnostic trouble codes were cleared, but the recalled fuel pump was not repaired or replaced. After being released by the dealership, the vehicle stalled again under similar driving conditions. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership, but no corrective repair was performed beyond clearing codes. The manufacturer has not yet properly remedied the recurring safety defect. Prior to stalling, the vehicle exhibited intermittent hesitation, loss of power, and engine shutdown. Warning indicators and fault codes were present at times and were cleared by the dealership without resolving the underlying issue. These symptoms have continued intermittently since the recall repair. This appears to be a failure to properly diagnose and correct a known safety defect, resulting in repeated dangerous highway stalls and placing occupants at serious risk.

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!.

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.

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.

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.

The cars dash lights all keep coming on and I lose all power to the vehicle while driving. Check engine light and serveral others will illuminate and continue to flash the warning signs. Car takes what seems like forever to then get back into gear and drive. All of the lights stay on even after shutting the car off and turning back on.

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.

The fuel pump appears to be malfunctioning. The car is basically inoperable when driving in any other mode besides eco. From 10/5/21 - 11/19/21, I’ve filled my fuel tank 11 times and never received any errors or warning messages. I am willing to have the vehicle inspected to confirm by Acura.

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.

There have been a couple of incidents where I will be driving and my car suddenly jolts and coasts to a stop. It seems as though the car is being placed in neutral while I am driving because when I press on the gas. It will just rev the engine. The check engine light will turn on as well. I typically turn off and on the car and the car will then work just fine. These incidents seem to happen when I am driving on a city street.

Car constantly shifts hard between gears 1-2 and when traveling down hill rpms increase and when the the bottom of hill it shifts hard in gear. The vcm makes the car feel like it's going to fall apart the system is faulty cause damages to other car components. When shifting into park on my pretty much flats road the car rolls forward all the time.

At 70 mph the vehicle lost power, all warning lights came on, I had to maneuver thru traffic and drift to the shoulder, the transmission was locked up and could not be shifted from park to any gear, the accelerator would not work. The car had to be towed. The dealership said the vehicle computer had to be re-flashed/programmed. This condition could have caused an accident for an inexperienced driver. There are no fault codes indicated as to why or what caused this issue. I did find through research that a wiring harness is causing these conditions in the make, model and year vehicle. Also the transmission is related to this problem.

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.
