Battery Dead Problems of Acura TLX

I have some serious issues with Acura Tlx with idle stop feature. My car had the same issues last year, when the car didn't turn back on automatically after the idle stop feature activated. I took my car to the dealership(Acura of fremont, CA) and they can't able to figure out the root cause and my car battery died in the middle of the road. It took 3 -4 hours to take the car to the dealership and they replaced the battery but now this issue started happening again. I called Acura customer service and they provided me this case number # 12058569 and forward the case to local dealership (Acura of fremont, CA). I have dropped the car at the dealership but they are not very hopeful to find out the root cause of this issue. This issue is really a safety risk and not sure what you are planning to do to address this issue. It's seems to be a known issue with idle stop feature. . Read more...

I tried to start my car and it made a weird ticking noise as if the battery was dead. All the lights on the dashboard turned on and the car kept telling me I needed to turn off some sort of brake system in order for the car to work. I turned the car off and tried again, this time it would not start but automatically turned on to accessory mode. I had to call my car insurance to give the car a jump and it seemed to do the trick, however, he noted that it wasn't the battery and that it was very odd.

This vehicle has had repeated battery failures. I had to have a battery replaced in this car less than a year ago and yesterday, the new battery died again. I was at the gas station getting gas and when I tried to start the vehicle, all of the lights started flickering with a loud repetitive clicking sound and the vehicle would not start. I had to call Acura roadside assistance who sent out a aaa tow driver. The tow driver said that he has had about 80 calls for this type of vehicle just this year alone and all of them have had battery issues. Acura should issue a recall for these defective batteries. I have the vehicle at an Acura dealer for the 2nd time in a year to have the battery replaced. The vehicle is still fairly new with only 46,000 miles.

The telematics unit in my 2016 Acura Tlx remains in the on position and continues to attempt to connect to a bluetooth device while vehicle is off. This contributes to battery failure. Many owners have disconnected the device as have I , in order to keep the battery from constantly dying. Car dies after one full day of not being started requiring the battery to need to be recharged. Acura stated they can replace telematics for a charge of $1000 but not sure if this will correct the issue.

Driving on the expressway at 70 mph, the car starts sputtering then decelerated, it would not accelerate even while pressing the gas pedal. I pulled off to the emergency lane and the lights started flickering, warning lights appeared "check hill start assist system", "check emission system", "check power steering system", "check brake hold system", "check brake system", and "check parking brake system". After sitting in the emergency lane after about 30 seconds, the car shut off. Extremely dangerous situation. It was diagnosed as a battery with a dead cell. Amazingly, of all the lights that illuminated, I never received any warning that I had dead battery. The battery light did not come on until the other warning lights came on. This happened at 35,246. This is the second time the car has been at the service center in less than 10 months.
