general problems of the 2017 Acura TLX

My 2017 Acura was involved in a low-speed collision where it failed to stop in a timely manner, resulting in a total loss declaration. This vehicle had open safety recalls (including the fuel pump/rod bearing issues) that remained unrepaired for over 1. 5 years. Despite multiple inquiries, the manufacturer failed to provide a repair timeline or remedy. I believe these unresolved defects directly contributed to the braking failure and subsequent safety incident.

Hello I am writing in to see why the Acura Tlx recall range is 2018-2020. The original effected engines for the Tlx were 2015-2020 Acura Tlx 3. 5 v6. The engines for the 15-17 are the same as a 18-20 Acura Tlx.

I was driving on the freeway and I heard something explode followed by a clanking noise. The oil light and battery light came on simultaneously and I could not accelerate. I immediately pulled over and noticed that all the oil drained out of the car. When I got a chance look under the vehicle there was a hole in the oil pan. A mechanic said that it had happened from the inside. Possibly something from the motor broke off and shot out of my oil pan.

My daughter was driving her car to work. Well in the middle of rush hour traffic the car put itself in neutral and then would not move and all of the lights were displayed on the dashboard as if the car was turned off. The car would not go into gear to move forward. She put the car in park and then shut the engine off. The engine shuttered and the car shook while it turned off. He then tried to start it and then started again and it started up okay and was able to put the car in drive and move forward. I spoke to my mechanic and he said that there is a recall on this car for fuel pump issues. I checked the VIN and it said that there was no open recall. However I wanted to report this incident to document it for this particular car because it could have a fuel pump issue.

My car’s lights were on. I went to Acura to get a diagnostic and they said to replace the fuel pump. I replaced it, and the lights came back on. I got another diagnostic and I was told the fuel pump has a leak.

On may 26, 2023, I purchased my 2017 Acura Tlx from sterling mccall Acura houston, TX. On July 16th, my son was driving the Acura Tlx and the engine burst into a fire. After the engine fire, I had to replace the entire. On November 20, 2023, after reading an article and contacting american Honda (#14266291) I became aware of a recall on my Acura Tlx.

[xxx] [xxx] > 4:28?pm (19 minutes ago) to takahiro_hachigo american Honda 1919 torrance blvd po box 2215 torrance, CA 90509 - 9870 request for financial compensation vehicle: 2017 Acura Tlx VIN: [xxx] dear american Honda executive, I am reaching out as a long-term and loyal Honda customer, having owned multiple Honda vehicles over the past 30 years, including a 1990 accord, a 2000 accord, a 2005 accord, a 2006 odyssey, a 2011 odyssey, a 2012 accord, and most recently, a 2017 Acura Tlx. Honda’s reputation for reliability has been a significant reason behind my continued support. However, recent mechanical issues and recalls, especially those affecting v6 engines, have left me with concerns. I purchased the 2017 Acura Tlx in may 2023, unaware of any recalls or issues associated with this car’s make, model, and year. Just a month later, in June 2023, the vehicle’s engine caught fire while my son, a college student, was driving. Fortunately, he was able to walk away without injury, but this experience was alarming and has led to significant repair expenses. After the fire, I learned that there was a recall affecting Acura Tlx models. I promptly filed a claim with Honda in November 2023, but the claim was denied without explanation, leaving me to cover the costs myself. With the national highway traffic safety administration now investigating similar engine failures, I feel that my concerns are not isolated. Given my longstanding loyalty to Honda, I respectfully request financial compensation for these repair costs or, alternatively, a credit toward a certified used or new vehicle. I am open to working with Honda to resolve this matter fairly and amicably. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Auto stop/start feature fails to restart vehicle, rendering vehicle inoperable. Powering off the vehicle and then powering up the vehicle thus far has restarted everything, much to the frustration of myself and the drivers behind me.

These lights just came on emissions system problem and electric parking brake problem.

I have been stopped by traffic or stop light when I put my foot on the gas to start up, the car stalls. The whole dashboard is lights up and I have to try several times to get engine started. This is very scary. . . . I took the car to dealership. After 4 hours at the dealership and $155, my car is stalling again. I am scared I could get hurt in this car!.

Car stalled while in traffic line with auto idle engaged. Took foot off brake to move forward and car stalled. Unable to restart car after the stall. Had to be towed to Honda dealership, they assessed it was an alternator issue. Alternator replaced car starts normally. Drove car for approximately 30 min and had turned off the auto idle feature. Car stalled again after sitting in traffic and trying to move ahead. This time car restarted without issue. No warnings or messages on that I noticed. Have read many forums that describe similar issues to Honda and Acura's.

Vehicle was traveling at approximately 60mph on the highway when the engine suddenly revved to the redline. A �transmission too hot� notification came up on the speedometer display. Vehicle had no power and was unable to accelerate. Vehicle kept revving until it was pulled to the side and shut down. After that, we were unable to start the vehicle. Car was towed to a repair shop and was diagnosed. Later, they took out the engine and confirmed that the flywheel had been sheared off. Vehicle is not under warranty, so Acura refused to take any responsibility, although this is clearly a manufacturing defect.

Vehicle was in motion on a highway in very heavy traffic when brakes were employed and vehicle did not stop but grinder forward, hitting the car in front.

The last safety recall did not fix a basic problem. This is a bug in the software that is very unlikely to be fixed at the dealer without a software fix. Its not mechanical and will not happen during a drive test. (completely random) problem: coasting or deaccelerating and stepping on the gas will cause the transmission to go into neutral, disconnect from the engine. The same effect if the brake was applied. After 1-2 seconds it will recover.
