general problems of the 2016 Acura TLX

Unknown: ebs comes on as well as the break system problem lights and many more. Vehicle loses power and goes into limp mode. As of now it wont shift from parking.

Warning lights for electric parking brake problem and emissions system problem simultaneously occurring with no definitive solution. Codes can be cleared by disconnecting battery and reconnecting but warning lights eventually come back on sometimes in a matter or days, weeks or month. There are no other issues that coincide with these warning lights coming on.

The backup camera on the rear simply went blurry one day, it’s now impossible to see out the camera. It worked one day then failed the next, this is a safety hazard now. I think these cameras should be required to always function. This is the camera on the trunk. It’s unsafe for me to see when back up.

The defect with stalling after auto start continues even after Acura applied a software update. They refuse to complete second part of recall including starter replacement and valve adjustment as indicated on their attached letter. This negligence is a high risk of personal injury to my family and I.

Idle stop does not restart car & is difficult to restart since car remains in drive after restart fails. A recall notice was issued, but the software update is not available at any dealers as of June 18, 2022. Product update required for pgm-fi software.

Unknown.

I was driving 70mph on I-75 south and I moved into the left lane to pass a vehicle and when pressed down on the gas my car decelerated and multiple (all) warning lights on the dashboard lit up. The car did not recover from the deceleration and caused the car behind me to slam on their brakes, I had to quickly navigate three lanes of traffic during rush hour to get off of the highway. I called Acura service from the off ramp and they said if I restart my car a few times it should reset and I can proceed home. When I brought my car to Acura they said it was a software update and that they don't perform the software update unless a customer is experiencing issues. I am deeply concerned that this issue has not been marked as a recall or automatic software update during regular service. I was able to navigate off of the highway, but I don't think this would be the case for all drivers in this situation.

I saw a mechanic and figured out the problem on the 21st of July. I checked on Acuras website and there was a notice that they recalled this car last year with the same exact thing that my car was diagnosed with and my car is malfunctioning and there is nothing they can do about it because my VIN does not have a recall on it even though I have the exact problem of their recall. My car is malfunctioning and I called headquarters client relations and they told me they can do nothing about it and that if I want it fixed then I have to fix it myself. I was driving on a high way when all the lights turned on in my car. My brake system says it failed my transmission light is on, my park brake is flashing, lane assist popping up. I was driving home form lake tahoe on a curvy road with my speed being 40-50. Many cars driving super fast when all of a sudden my car dropped to 20mph. My Acura would not go past 20mph and my life and my passengers were in serious danger!.

I purchased the car September 2016 first battery replacement in November 2018; second battery replacement March 2020. Both batteries came with a 5 year warranty both needed replacement within 2 years. Unknown why the batteries keep failing.

From a stopped position, moving forward my vehicle hesitated and decreased in power and the gas pedal did not help moving the vehicle forward. This happened in the middle of the intersection for several seconds 10-15 before the vehicle started moving forward again. From a moving position, I was going around a right-hand slight curve going approximately 45-50 mhp and the vehicle failed to keep power, speed decreased, and then began working again after several scary seconds. The main problem I have is when accelerating, the fuel seems like it is not processed correctly to allow my vehicle to accelerate. This is a dangerous mechanical issue that has happened more than ten times. I have contacted the dealership but they said my VIN was not in the listing of recalls. I am clearly having the same problems as many other Acura Tlx owners. Additionally, when I push the start button it did not start the vehicle. This has happened 3 times as of Nov 2019. My vehicle should be listed with the recalled listing of other 2016 Tlx Acura vehicles.

Takata recall it was around 7:30 am I was driving my kids to school and I felt like I slightly lost control of my vehicle and like it was slipping somehow. Next thing I know the steering wheel is crooked and almost every warning lights have turned on and I started getting all the warning sounds describing more warinings than I could check on the second page on this incident report. I barely bought my Acura a few months ago so I'm very shocked be having such a scary incident so fast. I thought Acura's were dependable reliable cars that would keep me and more importantly my children safe. I felt so scared for the safety of my children. It was even more upsetting to find that this same situation on the same brand of Acura's has happened before to more than 1 person on youtube! what is Acura waiting for on a recall. You would think they wouldn't want any lawsuits when someone gets hurt. Please help turn this into a recall before lives are lost. Thank you.

2016 Acura Tlx 39,462 miles on odometer. The engine lost power. The warning light displayed parking brake system malfunction, emission system malfunction. After 3 times shutting off and turning on the power button, the condition went back to normal.

On several occasions, the driver side window does not and will not close. Window rolls up closed then immediately rolls back down. Nothing is blocking the window or stuck in the tracks. Does this a few times then finally closes. Only occurs when switch is pulled all the way for auto closing. Additionally, on a few occasions, when I make left turns, the front passenger window rolled up by itself.

Vehicle does not start. Total electric failure. Not a battery problem per dealer. Still at dealership.

The contact owns a 2016 Acura Tlx. The contact was unable to unlock the front driver side door from inside the vehicle. The contact had to exit the vehicle from the outside door handle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 2,000.
