My oil light keep coming on every 30% after new oil change.
I bought this car a few months ago. The last oil change was done at the dealership I bought from. And since I have owned it I have had to put 6 quarts of oil in my engine. My car is only at about 87,000 miles and is currently ready for the next oil change. I called the dealership to ask what I could do about it and all they told me was to try a fuel treatment which is irrelevant. Im at a loss, and I dont think I will ever buy and Acura ever again.
My car is consuming excessive amounts of oil, and Acura has told me this is normal. I have added three quarts since my last oil change, and Acura is doing nothing to remedy the problem. Even after issuing a warranty extension, and acknowledging that this is an issue, they refuse to fix it. This is completely unsafe, and bad business practice for a car I thought was going to be a reliable, long-lasting vehicle.
My 09 Acura Tsx pings whenever you moderately or heavily step on the gas. Acura/Honda knows this is a widespread issue and needs to fix it. This is prematurely wearing enging components out. My car currently has 78,000 miles on it. Not acceptable!.
Noise coming from 2009 Acura tax rearend driverside. Piping noise can be heard when stopping and accelerating. There is a frame flaw. I am told Acura has a design flaw. They have to fuse two metal pieces to get the noise to quit and the dealer had to order a special tool from torance CA. What else is wrong with this horrible Honda product. Oh yeah and the engine pings a lot. What are we to do?.
No incidents yet. But--the engine of my brand new 2009tsx "pings"--produces "metallic noise" every time I accelerate. I have called a local dealer in brooklyn, NY and they assured me that it was a norm. . .
This is a 2009 Acura Tsx. While driving there is a rattle-type sound that comes from the engine. Took the car to two Acura dealers and both acknowledged the sound, but declared it a "characteristic" of the car. Hundreds, if not thousands of other '09 Tsx owners are experiencing this same noise (there are several blogs all over the internet) and we are concerned that it might cause some sort of serious damage while we are driving the car.
