Several times, all of the lights would flash on the car to check all of the systems and then the car would shut off while I was mid drive mostly while in a residential neighborhood but sometimes on a major parkway. After about an hour the car would start back up. I would not be able to start the car or change gear while it was shut off. I had the battery and alternator checked and that was not the problem. I took it to the repair shop and they said it was the fuel pump. I researched online and saw several 2015 Acuras were recalled with this issue but not my VIN number. I have pictures that I took when it was last flashing if that would be helpful.

When I back out of somewhere and select `drive' on the transmission there is a delay of 2 seconds to 5 seconds before it engages in 'drive' . That is a long time when a person is pulling out on an arterial. The acceleration iwhen in 'drive' is not consistent with a similar hesitation. From the time the accelerator has been pressed it could be 2 to 5 seconds before it begins to move. It has been terrifying when merging on to the freeway or simply just pulling out on any roadway. The transmission seems sluggish when going from drive to reverse also but that is not going to cause an accident like not being able go forward is. This had a recall on fuel pump programming and that made little or no improvement. I have Acura invoices and film that I have taken on another device that can be provided. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

Starting in Nov 2019 my Acura Tlx started to spontaneously decelerate and lose engine power when in motion. Error code of p0087 was provided by Acura of milford, CT and was highly suggestive of replacing high pressure fuel pump. The engine fuel pump was replaced in early Dec 2019 however the car continued with loss of power, terrible gas mileage, poor acceleration and multiple warnings illuminated. Acura of milford was contacted and they noted it may be the other fuel pump that needed to be replaced. The second in tank fuel pump was replaced mid Dec 2019 with no improvement. The car was brought to Acura Dec 31, 2019 and they said there was nothing to be found, they reset the p0087 code and did a hard reset. The car still continued with the same symptoms but now with a humming noise present. In Feb 2020, the fuel rail and sensor was replaced, yet still no improvement. The car was taken back to Acura and once again they reset the error code and noted they only found corrosion near the sensor and they cleaned it off. Car was driving much worse now and if it loss power it would not start up unless cranked 15-25 times in a 10 min window. March 2020 the spark plugs were replaced and the car is still not driving right, all symptoms still present and the humming noise is getting louder. This car has loss power while in motion randomly in the middle of traffic, both on street and most dangerously on the highway, embarrassing but thankful to some good samaritans that have exited their vehicle to push me safety on multiple occasions. Acura can not duplicate the problems yet just resets the error code and sends me on my way to call if it happens again. It has been happening frequently since Nov 2019 and no one can tell me what the issue is, even after I have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this car based off their guesses.

I was driving on the highway and turning and then all of a sudden these indicators came on which were the vsa, power steering, check engine light, and the brake system came one. Once these indicators came on the car started stalling and wouldn't go past 2 rpm and had lack of power. So we had to automatically stop and pull over to the side. Couple of cars were behind us as well and we could have crashed. We took about a month or so before we took it in to fresno Acura and they said it was the fuel pump that's broken.
Picking child from school, car was idle while waiting, once I started to move, the car started to stall. I tried to press the gas but it wouldn't go and when it did, it was in short jerking actions. I was able to get over to the side. The full dash board lit up and the car finally cut off. After several attempts to restart it and 45 min later, it turned on again. It wouldn't go fast and dragged. Shop gave diagnostic and stated there was possible problem w the fuel pump and sensors cause dashboard to light up. They were able to turn it off. This was on 3/15/2019. The car currently has moments and think there may be a bigger issue. Called Acura and they stated my car VIN does not show any recalls so if it's the fuel pump I will need to pay out of pocket. Have auto shop report if needed.
The car nearly stalls, rolled back 3-4 feet prior to restarting after the idle stop had in- gauged. The transmission shifts from 1-4 like someone who never drove with a clutch, even though it is an automatic. It hesitates and nearly stalls when doing slow maneuvering in and around parking lots and slow traffic. I have nearly had accidents due to the hesitation in traffic. When using cruise control out on the expressway, the car will not maintain its set speed on a downhill grade, it gets jerky and increases speed as much as 10-12 mph unless I ride the brake. I have had it back to the dealer twice now, the first time they did all the updates on the computer and fuel pump. . . Its just as bad if not worse. The car is not safe and should have a complete recall!!! the next questions ask for a specific time and date. . . This is ongoing and has been happening since I purchased the car in January.
Gas started leaking from my fuel pump while I was pumping and I only pumped about 8 dollars and a customer said for me to stop pumping and get home and park my car and take it to the dealership ASAP. The other issue is it jumps out of gear and while driving it just go into hesitate mode and stop mode ar times while on the interstate an driving on the streets causing me to be in a bad accident. This started happening several months after purchasing the car. Between July through now, still does it off and on.
