Check engine transmission abs vsa tpms all lights went on suddenly. While I was driving suddenly all lights came on dashboard. I’ve used obd scanner to find the root cause but the problem can’t be detected. I went to Acura dealer in NJ and paid $250. They inspected, and said it could be this instrument cluster or that ecu. But they did not said anything concrete what could be faulty. Both are expensive to replace around $2000-$4000 each the lights comes and goes. These lights are not persistent. I’ve been driving with it. Sometimes when the lights are on ac doesnt work, steering loses control for a second. When it loses control car swerves. It’s dangerous but I’ve been driving with caution ?? in past, electric power steering was malfunction and I had it replaced for $1500. I will never purchase Acura or Honda for lifetime it should be recalled.

This vehicle was taken in for a recall for a corrosive ecm. 1 hour prior to taking this vehicle in my assigned service writer gave me a call, your vehicle is ready for pick up. I was advised due to their visual inspection of the ecm( electronic control module)(electrical computer) not having corrosion, they will not change the unit but they have decided to replace the cover on the unit. I've filed a concerning complaint to Acura headquarters due to my knowledge of cars to have it on file what was told to me before receiving the vehicle. Due to my knowledge a faulty ecm can trigger numerous faults within the vehicles performance. Prior to bringing the vehicle to the dealership, I've been experiencing heavy misfires, poor radio connection, no interior lights and triggered headlights. I've replaced the necessary mechanics that would normal be the cause of these issues and the problem was still existing. The last option was the ecm,which fueled my search of a recall on these models for a faulty ecm. A few weeks later I've contacted another dealership in hopes they would take care of the problem, the representative was polite and reassured me the recall was suppose to be replaced with a new unit under manufacturer policy. However this could not be done because the previous dealer has marked the vehicle as a completed task. So I filed another complaint and have not received any further notice regarding my concern. A few weeks later I had the vehicle diagnosed and realized the ecm was never replaced nor removed out of the vehicle for inspection. Pictures and video where taken of this unit,as you can see the build up of dirt and dust from its original installment back in 2004. Later reading the review of that specific dealership, I've learned their has been numerous complaints regarding poor service at that locations service department.
For about a year or more, on cold start,(3-6+ hours of engine rest) rattle occurs for a brief period of time (usually 1-2 seconds) then ceases. TSB 09-010 is associated with various Honda models up to 2012, but does not include Acura. Car delivers no dtcs for this issue currently. Have not had the vehicle inspected by the dealer for this issue. Following the TSB, the symptom is the same. Replacement of vtc actuator will happen shortly, in which the part can be available for inspection.

When driving randomly sign shows up for "check engine oil". Sign's shows up with pressing brake, making turns, going over speed-bumps. Sign will disappear but will come on, after anyone of the above has occurred. This happens on local roads, highways, inner city, and speed bumps.
The accelerator pedal binds, the engine doesn't not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash. The vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 124, accelerator control system.

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!.
On 7/3/2013, I took my car in to the dealer for service because it had demonstrated several episodes of engine hesitation. I have always used premium gas. The car was checked, but the symptoms were not observed and no cause could be determined. On 9/19/2013, I returned for an oil change (annual service) and also asked if any engine hesitation service bulletins or advisories had been issued. None had been. These episodes: •have occurred about 15 times while owning the car. •have all occurred when accelerating moderately from below 20 miles an hour. •have occurred under all combinations of engine and air temperatures. •last from 2 to 3 seconds, while the engine does nothing. •are intermittent and cannot be summoned upon demand. On some occasions, the hesitation has put me at risk of collision, where I could not go forward but had to brake. The risk of nonperformance is always present and is a constant source of dissatisfaction for me. Based on my limited understanding, my guess is the cause involves a sensor or computer.

The air conditioning compressor stopped working. Acura will not discuss the problem with me since there is a class action suit for this ongoing problem for this year and model. We understand that we can get 60%. Back if we fix it a Acura or Honda dealership. If they are aware of this malfunction for this year and model they should pay the whole cost. We have had 5 Honda cars and have been very loyal customers.
There is a defect with a/c compressors on 2004 Acura Tsxs. A piece of the compressor, which holds the compressor clutch, is breaking off, resulting in debris being shot through the a/c system, or falling off completely. The result is that the a/c doesn't work, and most of the entire a/c system has to be replaced, costing drivers anywhere from $1800 to $4000, depending on the extent of the problem. This is not an isolated incident. There are many having this same problem. It is relegated to 04 model year Acura Tsxs. Acura customer service claims that there are no documented cases. However, my local Acura dealership says that this has definitely occurred before on multiple occasions. I can provide images and copies of work orders to prove that this is not an isolated incident.
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.
