general problems of the 2016 Acura TLX

Internal transmission error at 60,000 miles. All warning lights illuminated, no sign of transmission failure, but having to replace the entire transmission due to factory defect out of my own pocket.

Recall issued in January 2024 and still haven’t heard from Acura.

I shifted to sports mode plus while at a stop light on the bay bridge. After light turned green, I accelerated and my car stalled and wouldn't go past 20mph on the bay bridge which is dangerous, everyone was going about 60-75 mph. All of my hazard lights were on- my brake light, vsa light, check engine etc. I went to the mechanic and he could not find anything wrong with my battery, transmission or accelerator. It seems like there is a glitch electronically but nothing has been done about. Several folks with 2016 Tlx have reported this same issue. Its very dangerous and worrisome. Prior to this issue I had no messages/lights on that warned me of my vehicle needing service.

My catalac converter needs to be replace I took it in backin March because dash lights were on . It was covered under warranty barley made it the first time I took it into Acura they failed to look if it was covered for me . After a month of stress and research it was so I took it back to Acura with the paperwork and spoke to the manager who checked it 2 times and said it wasn’t I handed him the paperwork n he was able to find it he ordered the part and said he’d give me my diagnosis fee back when the part comes in . I’ve been waiting 6 months for it now. Well now my engine block needs to be replaced wich is a bigger issue . And im barely over 80,000 miles the tech said everything looked up to date on car , there’s no reasonable explanation on why this happen. And again the part I need is also on back order . Im carless and just over warranty timeframes I’ve only had the car about a year wth a car payment still . This is very frustrating.

As I come to a slow down and a stop my car surges like it wants to continue to go. More less feels like it jerks or a stall.

Was driving down interstate 70 at approximately 75 miles an hour. My cruise control was set and I was going up a small hill and out of nowhere my car decelerates down to about 50-60 miles an hour and it won't shift into gear/turn over and is making a grinding/revving noise. Almost all of the warning lamps and messages started flashing when this happened. There were cars behind me and next to me on the interstate when this happen and could have caused a serious crash given that the car decelerated and stopped functioning in the middle of the road. I had to pull over on the side of the interstate and I immediately called the dealership to see what was going on and if the car was safe to drive. I took my car to the Acura dealership either that same day or the next day and they claimed they didn't know what the issue was and told me that they reset the mainframe and that would take care of the issue. It did not take care of the issue and this problem has continued to happen multiple times. With the most recent time that this issue occurred they told me that I needed to buy a new battery and that would take care of the issue. I purchased a new battery and 2 days later the same thing as above happened again while driving 75 miles down the interstate the car decelerates and about causes me to crash. Prior to this situation happening in 2020, there was an issue with my battery and when my car would go into idle mode at stoplights/stop signs, it would die in the middle of the road and I would have to wait a few minutes before it would start back up.

My car stalled while driving on the interstate at 75mph. It happened in may, July, and September 2019. While driving the vehicle lost power and would not accelerate. The tachometer registering the rpms dropped to 1,000 and stayed there. After pulling over, shutting the car off, waiting, and restarting the car, the vehicle proceeded to operate as normal. Many of the warning lights appeared during this incident. Finally, in September, my car was undriveable and had to be towed to the dealership. The determination was that the car needed a new engine. I'm still awaiting for the repairs to be completed at this time (November 13, 2019).

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Acura Tlx. The contact stated that the transmission warning indicator illuminated and there was a loss of power. The vehicle shifted independently into neutral while on an incline and rolled in reverse towards oncoming traffic. The contact applied the hazard lights, and turned the vehicle off and back on. The contact then parked the vehicle in a parking area. The vehicle was taken to two different dealers: Acura of lynnwood (21515 wa-99, lynnwood, wa 98036, (425) 775-2925) and Acura of bellevue (13424 ne 20th st, bellevue, wa 98005, (425) 644-3000) for diagnostic testing, but the results were unknown. The manufacturer issued 79 tsbs on the power train; however, the vehicle was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 16v640000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,500.

While driving 30 miles per hour on a city street, I noticed the car started was shifting hard. Two minutes later, the warning lights appeared "check vsa system", "check precision all wheel steer system", and "check transmission" and the car would not accelerate. This happened at 16,721 miles. The diagnosis was crumbs in the gear panel. Acura showed no record of me bringing my car in for the service.

1. When accelerating from a stop, the transmission occasionally feels like it slips into neutral. The engine res but does not move forward for 1-2 seconds. 2. Car downshifts into 1st gear and lurches forward after coming to a stop. 3. Transmission shifts very abruptly and rough during almost all accelerations.
