2015 ACURA TLX Complaints

2015 ACURA TLX FREQUENTLY STALLS, DOES NOT RESTART WHEN IDLE STOP FEATURE IS USED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN AT AN INTERSECTION AND I AM STALLED, HAVING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. BROUGHT THE CAR IN TWICE TO ACURA IN 2016 WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN TO ACURA THIS WEEK AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT, INDICATING THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH TLX'S AND MLX'S. SAID REPLACING THE STARTER HELPED ONE CUSTOMER BUT SINCE NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND MY STARTER (AND BATTER AND ALTERNATOR) ALL CHECK OUT FINE, THEY DIDN'T RECOMMEND TRYING THAT. NORMALLY I TURN OFF THE FEATURE (WHICH THEY ARE UNABLE TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE) WHICH IS WHY I HAVEN'T BROUGHT IT BACK IN MORE FREQUENTLY BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING IF I FORGET TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE FEATURE AND IT STALLS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE I 84 IN MY CAR ENGINE STOPPED. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITHOUT POWER STEERING WITHOUT POWER BREAKING AND WHEN I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I TRIED TO START MY CAR IN THE VEHICLE WAS JUST CLICKING. ONCE I GOT THE CAR HOME I TESTED THE BATTERY AND I TESTED THE ALTERNATOR BOTH OF WHICH ARE WORKING FINE THE STARTER SOMEHOW SHUT MY CAR OFF. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS EVERY TIME I USE THE AUTOMATIC ENGINE STOP START AT RED LIGHTS KEEPING ME FROM USING THAT FEATURE OF MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT MY CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO SHIFT CORRECTLY. I PULLED OVER AND ACCELERATED AGAIN. GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND NOTICED THE CAR WASN'T MOVING HARLDY AS I PULLED UP TO PARK. ONCE I PARKED, I PUT IT IN REVERSE TO PULL UP AGAIN AND IT WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND JERKING WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. I DID THIS LIKE 3 TIMES TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. AFTER ABOUT 4 HOURS I WENT TO LEAVE MY DESTINATION AND IT SHIFTED INTO REVERSE JUST FINE. I WAS RELIEVED UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND THEN EVERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE CAR WASN'T ACCELERATING AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE RPM'S WERE GOING UP BUT CAR WAS BARELY MOVING. I MADE IT HOME BUT NOW SICK TO MY STOMACH BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS COULD BE. NOT SURE IF IT NEEDS TO BE TOWED TO A SHOP OR IF I CAN OR SHOULD DRIVE IT IF POSSIBLE.

SEVERAL TIMES, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON THE CAR TO CHECK ALL OF THE SYSTEMS AND THEN THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS MID DRIVE MOSTLY WHILE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD BUT SOMETIMES ON A MAJOR PARKWAY. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START THE CAR OR CHANGE GEAR WHILE IT WAS SHUT OFF. I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW SEVERAL 2015 ACURAS WERE RECALLED WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. I HAVE PICTURES THAT I TOOK WHEN IT WAS LAST FLASHING IF THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

I BOUGHT A USED ACURA TLX WITH 83000 MILES ON IT .. I DROVE IT 1500 MILES IT START SHIFTING HARD . THE BMV USED DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT. IT WORKED FOR 700 MILES NOW IT SHIFTS HARD AGAIN WORST, AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX IT

THIS VEHICLE IS SO UNSAFE . I HAD LOTS OF DIFFERENT SITUATIONS HAPPEN AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CHECK IT AND SAY IT'S FINE ! THE VEHICLE STALLS AND HESITATES AND I GET SENSORS GOING OFF CONSTANTLY INCLUDING THE BRAKE SENSOR WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME FOR IT TO GO OFF . I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE GO IN PARK BY ITSELF WHILE ON A LIGHT. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START AND ALWAYS NEEDS A JUMP I GOT THE BATTERY CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY BATTERY IS GOOD AND I HAVE TO CHARGE IT . I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE . MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES I HAVE ALL MY MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON TIME I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THINKING IT'S RELIABLE BEING I'M A MOTHER OF TWO KIDS!

CAR WON'T CRANK AND WON'T START. ENDED UP STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS WHILE OUT SHOPPING. EACH TIME STRANDED, THE CAR WOULD START AFTER BEING JUMPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE EACH TIME. AFTER THE FIRST ACCOUNT OF BEING STRANDED AND JUMPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR BATTERY WAS TESTING "VERY GOOD" AND THEY SAID MY BATTERY WOULD RECHARGE ITSELF AND THAT THE DRAINAGE COULD BE DUE TO THE HOT TEXAS WEATHER. NOT SO MUCH THE CASE AS I ENDED UP STRANDED TWO DAYS AFTER THAT, ONCE AGAIN. THEN, A WEEK OR SO LATER, ON ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF BEING STRANDED AND JUMPED STARTED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, I DROVE TO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM TEST MY BATTERY TO FIND THAT IT THEN TOO TESTED "VERY GOOD." AUTOZONE SUGGESTED THAT I PURCHASE A PORTABLE CAR CHARGER, SO I DID. CAME TO FIND OUT THAT UPON BEING STRANDED THE FOURTH TIME, THE PORTABLE CHARGER WAS UNABLE TO GET ME JUMPED/STARTED. SO, I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TRIED USING "THEIR" PORTABLE CAR CHARGER BUT FAILED TO WORK. SO THE REP PULLED OUT HIS JUMPER CABLES AND WAS ABLE TO JUMP MY CAR AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AT THAT POINT, I WENT BACK TO AUTOZONE AND DECIDED TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR BATTERY EVEN THOUGH MY EXISTING BATTERY TESTED "VERY GOOD" ONCE AGAIN. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT, MY SRS AIRBAG LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE THEN. IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE I'VE HAD THE NEW BATTER INSTALLED AND I'M NOW STRANDED AGAIN. I'VE SEEN WAY TOOO MANY POSTS WITH OTHER FOLKS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!!!

MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, DROPPING SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER ME

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAILURE DO NOT WANT TO GO IN REVERSE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS 2015 TLX ALWAYS TAKES TO DEALERSHIP EVEN CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FUILD A YEAR AGO NOW HAVING ISSUES. NO ONE ELSE HAS TOUCH THIS VEHICLE ONLY ACURA DEALERSHIP.

I TURNED OFF MY CAR FOR A MOMENT WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START BACK UP IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL.
