2015 ACURA TLX Complaints

My car completely lost all power and died on the freeway. All the dash board lights came on and I could break or steer and the car was stuck in Neutral.

WHEN DRIVING ON A WINDY ROAD AROUND 40MPH THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE CAUSING THE CAR TO SUDDENLY DECELERATE TO 5 MPH WHICH NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. THE CAR THEN STARTED DISPLAYING MULTIPLE ERROR CODES ON THE DASH (ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING PROBLEM).

CONSTANT BATTERY DRAINING FROM UNKNOWN ISSUE WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I AM CURRENTLY ON MY THIRD CAR BATTERY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR IN JANUARY 2016 WITH 108 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN USING A PORTABLE BATTERY JUMPER FOR THE LAST MONTH BECAUSE OF THIS ON GOING ISSUE. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PARKING OVERNIGHT AND HAVE CAUSED A DISTURBANCE IN MY LIFE BEFORE COMMUTING TO AND FROM WORK, ALONG WITH TO COVID19 VACCINATION APPOINTMENTS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT A RED LIGHT WHERE THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSE TO TURN OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER TO BE GAS EFFICIENT. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TURN OF THE FEATURE DUE TO THE CAR DYING COMPLETELY IN AT A RED LIGHT AND CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE CAUSED ADDITIONAL INCONVENIENCE IN MY DAILY COMMUTE. I BELIEVE BOTH ISSUES ARE RELATED AND IT IS AN ISSUE WITH ACURA DUE TO MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHEN I HAVE DONE RESEARCH WITHIN ACURA TLX FORUMS.

ALL OF THE SYSTEMS LIGHTS STARTED CYCLING THROUGH STATING THAT THEY HAD "PROBLEMS." THIS HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, WITH NO WARNING. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED JUST LAST WEEK.

AFTER A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP, I ACCELERATED AND THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON. I PULLED OVER AND HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. CHECK ENGINE WAS FLASHING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, AND PROBLEM WAS GONE ACCELERATION CAME BACK. I MERGE INTO MY LANE AGAIN AND NOT EVEN 100 FT WHEN MY DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. EVERY LIGHT IN MY DASH WAS LIT. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE LIGHTS THAT WERE ON. POWER STEERING PARK CHECK ENGINE ADAPTABLE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM COLLISION SIGN SEATBELT TRACTION CONTROL OIL LIGHT ABS COLLISION LIGHT BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM ACC LKAS VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST THE ISSUE APPEARED TO BE ELECTRICAL SINCE THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE CAR LOOKED OK. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AT 55 MPH SINCE THATS AS FAST AS IT WILL LET ME DRIVE IT. I STOPPED AT A AUTOZONE TO SCAN THE OBD COMPUTER AND JUST A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2 CODE CAME UP WHICH IS STRANGE THAT A MISFIRE WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. NO OTHER CODES CAME OUT. NOTE: CAR HAD NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON BEFORE THIS IN 179,000 MILES WE HAVE OWNED IT. WENT HOME DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY THEN HOOK IT BACK ON. PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IT HASNOT HAPPENED IN 12 HRS. THE ISSUE IS I DONT TRUST THE CAR ANYMORE. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FREEWAY 10 AT 80 MPH WITH TRAFFIC, I WOULD HAVE CAUSE A DEADLY CRASH. THEN I LOOKED ON YOU TUBE AND THERE IS PRACTICALLY DOZENS OF ACURA OWNERS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES, SOME OF THEM AVOIDED CRASHES BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER. DEALERS CANT FIND SOLUTIONS, IN THE COMMENTS SECTION ALL I READ IS PEOPLE ASKING IF SOMEONE FOUND A SOLUTION. SEEMS LIKE HONDA SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT , TO KEEP THEIR COSTUMERS SAFE. HOPE THIS LETTER GETS TO THEM AND NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BEFORE IT TAKES SOMEONE'S LIFE.

I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND I NOTICED PAINT JUST CHIPPING AWAY AS THE WATER HIT IT AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE AND STARTED BOTHERING ME. THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS COLOR BUT JUST NOT FOR THIS MODEL SO THEY WON'T FIX IT UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET !!!

THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE I WILL BE DRIVING AND MY CAR SUDDENLY JOLTS AND COASTS TO A STOP. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS BEING PLACED IN NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING BECAUSE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS. IT WILL JUST REV THE ENGINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL TURN ON AS WELL. I TYPICALLY TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR AND THE CAR WILL THEN WORK JUST FINE. THESE INCIDENTS SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.

THE TRANSMISSION JERK BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND VERY EXCESSIVELY AND GOING INTO PARK IT'S ROOMY BEFORE COMPLETELY LOCKING IN

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING 55MPH, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT AND GLASS WAS ALL OVER THE SHADE, THANKFULLY THE SHADE WAS CLOSED SO THE GLASS DIDN'T GET ON US OR IN THE CAR, I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON A STREET ENTERING THE CITY

WHEN THE CAR RUNNING ON NORMAL SPEED AND PRESS BRAKE FOR SLOWING THE CAR TRY TO JUMP AND THE RPM FREAKS OUT
