2013 ACURA ILX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 ACURA ILX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AXLE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AXLE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET AND THEN MY CAR SUDDENLY BROKE DOWN. I HAD NO PRIOR LIGHTS ON. THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND THE REST OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN FLASHING WITH THE CODE P0202, AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 3 MPH. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND IT TOOK ME OVER 20 MINUTES TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION THAT WOULD NORMALLY TAKE 5 MINUTES, I DON'T KNOW HOW I EVEN MADE IT TO THE STATION WITHOUT PUSHING THE CAR MYSELF. I HAD TO TOW IT DIRECTLY TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND HAVE HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES. ACURA NOTIFIED ME IT WAS MY FUEL INJECTOR AND COILS AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTIC. I HAD TO PAY $1,200 OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THIS WAS A COMPLETE PARTS ISSUE, A RARE OCCURRENCE, THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE, THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THEN I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ACURA AFTER THE PARTS WERE REPLACED THAT THEY FRIED OUT THE PCM-THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR. THEY STATED MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVEABLE UNTIL THE PCM WAS REPLACED AND THAT IT DID NOT SHOW IN THE DIAGNOSTIC UNTIL THEY REPLACED THE PARTS. SO NOW, A PARTS FAILURE LED TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING LISTED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A COMMON ISSUE. I HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $1,100 NOW TOTALING TO A $2,200 UNPRECEDENTED OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE FOR A MANUFACTURER FAILURE. THIS IS TERRIFYING BECAUSE MY CAR WAS WORKING COMPLETELY FINE, DRIVING SMOOTHLY, AND OUT OF NOWHERE WITHOUT ANY INDICATION GAVE OUT ON ME, PLACING MY LIFE IN DANGER. SUSPICIOUSLY ENOUGH, DURING THIS TIMEFRAME, I GET A NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR A STOP SALE RELATED TO DRIVESHAFT CORROSION WHICH COULD CAUSE MY CAR TO STOP. WHAT IF THIS IS THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE OTHER PROBLEMS?

THE LIGHT ON MY 2013 ILX ARE BEING FOGGY AND SHOW DIMINISH LIGHT . DOOR LATCH ACTS UP SOMETIMES AS WELL- IT LOCK AND THEN IT DOES NOT UNLOCK. PASSENGER AIRBAG ALWAYS IS OUT OF WACK- IT SAYS THAT THEY ARE OFF THEN ON...

MY AIRBAG DEFLATOR EVERY YEAR HAS A MALFUNCTION AND I CAN'T PASS MY INSPECTION. THIS IS THE 3RD YEAR IN A ROW THAT THIS HAPPENS TO ME. NO ACCIDENT, AS SOON AS CAR STARTS UP ASKS TO CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 ACURA ILX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING FROM HER DRIVEWAY, WHEN SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND. THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS INDEPENDENTLY AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AT THE RESIDENCE AND INFORMED HER THAT THE AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED ACURA OF WAPPINGERS FALLS LOCATED AT 1271 RT 9 S, WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY 12590, (845) 298-0400, AND THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSING THE STEERING TO BE VERY STIFF AND HARD TO CONTROL.

THE BRAKE FAIL STOPPING THE CAR WHILE DRIVING OFF THE HIGHWAY VIA EXITING RAMP, RAMP TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER SLOW AT THE MOMENT AND MY CAR JUST ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE CAR SLIDE AHEAD AND HIT THE FRONT CAR.

I BELIEVE MY VIN # SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR DRIVERS AIR BAG. I HAVE HAD THE DRIVERS AIR BAG FIXED JAN 2019 AND NOW WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED IN A COUPLE WEEKS AS THE AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE GOING ON AGAIN FOR THE DRIVERS AIR BAGS. I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2013 ACURA ILX BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN # IS NOT COMING UP. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

I'M MOTION THE WIPER BLADES WILL EITHER STOP OR START WITHOUT PROMPTING. THE MOTOR IS DYING . THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT AT THIS TIME WHICH POSES A THREAT TO WIPERS NOT BE ACCESSIBLE DURING DRIVING IN RAIN OR SNOW CAUSING LITTLE TO NO VISIBILITY.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS SOMETHING POPPING OUT IN THE LOWER LUMBAR AREA WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES DISCOMFORT HOWEVER IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY WHILE DRIVING
