Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2015 Acura TLX

Several times, all of the lights would flash on the car to check all of the systems and then the car would shut off while I was mid drive mostly while in a residential neighborhood but sometimes on a major parkway. After about an hour the car would start back up. I would not be able to start the car or change gear while it was shut off. I had the battery and alternator checked and that was not the problem. I took it to the repair shop and they said it was the fuel pump. I researched online and saw several 2015 Acuras were recalled with this issue but not my VIN number. I have pictures that I took when it was last flashing if that would be helpful.

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.

Picking child from school, car was idle while waiting, once I started to move, the car started to stall. I tried to press the gas but it wouldn't go and when it did, it was in short jerking actions. I was able to get over to the side. The full dash board lit up and the car finally cut off. After several attempts to restart it and 45 min later, it turned on again. It wouldn't go fast and dragged. Shop gave diagnostic and stated there was possible problem w the fuel pump and sensors cause dashboard to light up. They were able to turn it off. This was on 3/15/2019. The car currently has moments and think there may be a bigger issue. Called Acura and they stated my car VIN does not show any recalls so if it's the fuel pump I will need to pay out of pocket. Have auto shop report if needed.

The car nearly stalls, rolled back 3-4 feet prior to restarting after the idle stop had in- gauged. The transmission shifts from 1-4 like someone who never drove with a clutch, even though it is an automatic. It hesitates and nearly stalls when doing slow maneuvering in and around parking lots and slow traffic. I have nearly had accidents due to the hesitation in traffic. When using cruise control out on the expressway, the car will not maintain its set speed on a downhill grade, it gets jerky and increases speed as much as 10-12 mph unless I ride the brake. I have had it back to the dealer twice now, the first time they did all the updates on the computer and fuel pump. . . Its just as bad if not worse. The car is not safe and should have a complete recall!!! the next questions ask for a specific time and date. . . This is ongoing and has been happening since I purchased the car in January.
