1 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2004 Acura TSX

Failure Date: 07/13/2016

Center stack hvac lights have stopped working. I've read countless threads & forums that state this is a known issue. It does pose a safety issue, I'm not sure why this has not been recalled yet. The warranty was extended, however, no one was notified & I purchased this car after the warranty period expired for the center console lights. They stopped working at 106k miles. In the daytime or dark you cannot read the climate control or radio control or clock display. You constantly fidget in the dark trying to see if you're pressing the proper button to defrost windows or turn the heat or air on. Taking your eyes off the road to fidget with your broken radio is the same thing as taking your eyes off the road for a cell phone. Why is this not a recall yet? only option is to pay out of pocket $1200 for a known fault in their design. Part to replace yourself has been discontinued. Recall needed.

5 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2006 Acura TSX

Failure Date: 05/31/2009

This 06 Acura Tsx car has a problem with the interior lighting above the rear view mirror, not working properly. Lights will not work most of the time but will come on, on their own uncommaneded and drain your car battery. This push for on lights cannot be determined if they are commanded on or off. I know two more cars years 04 to 06 with this same problem.

6 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2004 Acura TSX

Failure Date: 02/18/2009

The console lights (lights in the center) went out in 2009, which is a safety concern as you need to attempt to read the controls via the overhead light while driving, causing a huge distraction. We took it to the dealer and they wanted $150 just to diagnosis it. Recently we learned that Acura extended warranty some years back to fix it however we were never notified (we are the original owners). Now we have passed the extended warranty time (7 years). We feel it's a safety concern and should have been notified about the issue by Acura and that as such Acura should still be liable to fix the problem. Thank you.
