Electronic Stability Control Problems of Acura TLX

This vehicle is so unsafe . I had lots of different situations happen and when I take it to the dealership they check it and say it's fine ! the vehicle stalls and hesitates and I get sensors going off constantly including the brake sensor when there is nothing in front of me for it to go off . I've had the vehicle go in park by itself while on a light. The vehicle doesn't start and always needs a jump I got the battery checked multiple times and the dealership told me my battery is good and I have to charge it . I believe there is an electrical issue with this vehicle . My vehicle only has 30,000 miles I have all my maintenance done at the dealership on time I purchased this vehicle thinking it's reliable being I'm a mother of two kids!.

Car won't crank and won't start. Ended up stranded numerous times within the last 2 months while out shopping. Each time stranded, the car would start after being jumped by another vehicle each time. After the first account of being stranded and jumped by another vehicle, I immediately drove to the dealership and was told by the dealership that my car battery was testing "very good" and they said my battery would recharge itself and that the drainage could be due to the hot texas weather. Not so much the case as I ended up stranded two days after that, once again. Then, a week or so later, on another account of being stranded and jumped started by another vehicle, I drove to autozone to have them test my battery to find that it then too tested "very good. " autozone suggested that I purchase a portable car charger, so I did. Came to find out that upon being stranded the fourth time, the portable charger was unable to get me jumped/started. So, I had to call roadside assistance. Roadside assistance tried using "their" portable car charger but failed to work. So the rep pulled out his jumper cables and was able to jump my car after about 5 minutes. At that point, I went back to autozone and decided to purchase a new car battery even though my existing battery tested "very good" once again. Immediately following the battery replacement, my srs airbag light became illuminated and has been on since then. It's been 3 weeks since I've had the new batter installed and I'm now stranded again. I've seen way tooo many posts with other folks experiencing this same issue. Please investigate!!!!!.

Car stalled while stopping at traffic light twice in two weeks. Both times car shut off completely. I had to put it in park and then restart the car. This is a safety concern.

I saw a mechanic and figured out the problem. 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. There are many people with Acuras who have the same issues as I do!.

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!.

The contact owns a 2015 Acura Tlx. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the transmission light, the vehicle stability assist (vsa) and the precision all wheel steer system warning messages illuminated. The vehicle started to lose motive power with the accelerator pedal depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,571.

When returning from a 40 mile trip to naples florida, the vehicle stability system displayed failure warning lights. When I made it back to my condo in cape coral, there was s total system failure locking out the transmission, inability to put the car in neutral, antilock brakes, etc. This could have been a major safety issue had I been on the highway .

The car automatically switches to neutral and shuts off while driving. I bought the car brand new from john eagle Acura and have had this problem the entire time that I have owned the vehicle. The dealership replaced the transmission and starter on the car less than 3 months after pruchase. The car continues to switch gears on its own and shuts off! the dealership says that nothing is wrong with the car. Please beaware this car is not safe to drive!!!.

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).

2015 Acura Tlx 2. 4 model has jerking between 1 and 3rd gear. While driving on a highway if feels as if the wheel alignment is off had a wheel alignment done didn't fix problem. Steering wheel needs to be held at an angle to drive straight. When trying to start the car I'll hear a clicking sound instead of it starting. Needs a jump to start happened 3 times already. Battery was tested results that I have good batter life.

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.

With the vehicle auto stop function engaged (which is always engaged when starting your drive, can't be disabled automatically) and you come to a stop, the engine will auto stop. When this happens, and simultaneously you need to resume driving, the system will generate a 61-12 error, flash warnings about the brake system and stability control system possibly not working and engage the parking brake. This means that you are stuck where you are until you gather your wits and disengage the parking brake. When this happens in an intersection, particularly when you have to unexpectedly stop and try to hurry on thru you can get caught in oncoming traffic, has happened twice! the car has been seen by Acura 11 times and various components were replaced. Now they are saying that this activity is actually normal and to avoid this situation, always manually disengage the auto stop function. 1. This is too easy to forget, humans don't always remember and 2. Doing so lights up a very irritating amber warning light. This "normal" operation is hazardous! this has been going on from 2,000 miles to my current 36,000 miles!.

While traveling 75 mph on interstate multiple / all warning lights suddenly illuminated on dash board and the car placed itself into neutral from drive position. Upon coming to rest car was placed into park along shoulder and when drive was selected it would not engage. Vehicle was turned off and allowed to sit for several minutes before restarting again. Again it would not allow to go into drive. Tow truck was dispatched and after about 30 minutes car was able to shift into drive. Vehicle was then driven about 1/8 mile along shoulder to visible rear stop entrance. We waited for tow to truck to arrive. Car was restarted and would not engage into drive or neutral when attempting to load onto tow truck. After several attempts neutral and drive eventually engaged. Car was taken to nearest dealer just before close before major holiday. Recieved call from dealer stating that the cause of all this was dead battery. Unknown to them battery was replaced y months prior. Also I have dts report showing multiple malfunctions and errors. I feel that if all this can happen by having a dead battery (that somehow allows you to restart your car multiple times after initial malfunction) this is a huge safety concern. I called dealership back and asked them to double check diagnosis and also check alternator being that the battery is only 6 months old.

Vsa and abs.

The onboard system crashed while I was driving. All the warnings on the dash went off. The car automatically went into park. When I placed the car into drive mode the parking brake would not disengage. I turned off and on my car the issues persisted. After I turned off and on my car a third time the car allowed me to drive it.

While driving at 45mph the car lost power I. E. , steering, brakes, stability control and transmission and was unable to unlock parking brake.

My name is pouyan tabrizi, in 2014 I walked into marin Acura (located in marin, California) and leased a 2015 Acura Tlx. This was especially an exciting model due to it redesign. Within the first year of my lease I received a recall letter in the mail stating that their was a defect in regards to the transmission. I brought the vehicle to the dealer and they ¿fixed¿ it and sent me on my way. One year later, again, I received a letter in the mail from the automobile devision located at your corporate headquarters at 1919 torrance blvd, CA (NHTSA recall # 16v-640). The letter clearly states ¿if this malfunction were to occur, it could result in an unexpected loss of motor power, which could reduce vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash¿. It also states that the ¿fix¿ will become available December 2016, todays date is November 7th, 2016. I have been driving this vehicle for 2 out of my 3 year lease and the transmission has been recalled twice consistently every year. I have put my two children and wife into this vehicle now knowing that the car could have possibly put my family and myself in physical danger and even death. Not because driving is dangerous but because there have been manufacturing defects with the transmission of this Acura model and year. I cannot describe what it feels like to have that on the mind of a parent. I see this being handled in one way. Acura takes away the car and refunds me my total vehicle lease investment along with my down payment. Please take this matter into serious consideration as I am fully prepared to legally escalate this matter beyond the consumer-company level. I can¿t imagine how many Acura 2015 Tlx¿s there are nation wide. This experience has been a disaster financially, emotionally and according to Acura potentially physically.

2 different times while driving i75( 30-45mph heavy traffic) and then i16 (55 -60 mph rush hour traffic) the car stalls all lights flash off then back on and dashboard lights up first saying breaks the transmission, stability control. First time tech said fluke low voltage, second said car down shifts to 4th gear and gets stuck.

The original failure was scary. We had just left texas hwy 130 (80 mph toll way), when we sustained the original failure. As it failed, everybody in the car thought I had slammed on the brakes by the way the car buckled (like a bucking horse), it had done a violent sudden stop and release; the car went to idle and coasted for a bit without response from the engine; I studied the panel because everything was lit up; once I decided the engine was still idling, I pressed the accelerator slowly until I decided I had some control; checked the failure messages; then tried to drive the car. The car could be driven, I drove it slowly with the hazard lights on, the car buckled every so often. Since we were close to home we went there. Had this happened at 80 mph, I don't know what would have happened.

After a minor fender bender, the vehicle became completely disabled and blocked four (4) lanes of traffic for almost four (4) hours. The driver-side knee airbag deployed and several sensors/relays became inoperable and the car reported a braking system failure that rendered the car immobile. The tires locked up and the vehicle subsequently had to be dragged onto a flatbed tow truck. Additionally, the Acuralink service did not contact me until 90+ minutes later and the assist/sos button fell off of the car before I could engage it. While making a left turn, the front end of my car was sideswiped. My vehicle immediately became immobilized with the brakes fully engaged on all four (4) tires. The accident happened on a four (4) lane city street. My car came to rest in a parallel position blocking all four (4) lanes.
