STARTING IN NOV 2019 MY ACURA TLX STARTED TO SPONTANEOUSLY DECELERATE AND LOSE ENGINE POWER WHEN IN MOTION. ERROR CODE OF P0087 WAS PROVIDED BY ACURA OF MILFORD, CT AND WAS HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE OF REPLACING HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THE ENGINE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED IN EARLY DEC 2019 HOWEVER THE CAR CONTINUED WITH LOSS OF POWER, TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE, POOR ACCELERATION AND MULTIPLE WARNINGS ILLUMINATED. ACURA OF MILFORD WAS CONTACTED AND THEY NOTED IT MAY BE THE OTHER FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SECOND IN TANK FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED MID DEC 2019 WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO ACURA DEC 31, 2019 AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE FOUND, THEY RESET THE P0087 CODE AND DID A HARD RESET. THE CAR STILL CONTINUED WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT NOW WITH A HUMMING NOISE PRESENT. IN FEB 2020, THE FUEL RAIL AND SENSOR WAS REPLACED, YET STILL NO IMPROVEMENT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO ACURA AND ONCE AGAIN THEY RESET THE ERROR CODE AND NOTED THEY ONLY FOUND CORROSION NEAR THE SENSOR AND THEY CLEANED IT OFF. CAR WAS DRIVING MUCH WORSE NOW AND IF IT LOSS POWER IT WOULD NOT START UP UNLESS CRANKED 15-25 TIMES IN A 10 MIN WINDOW. MARCH 2020 THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED AND THE CAR IS STILL NOT DRIVING RIGHT, ALL SYMPTOMS STILL PRESENT AND THE HUMMING NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER. THIS CAR HAS LOSS POWER WHILE IN MOTION RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, BOTH ON STREET AND MOST DANGEROUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY, EMBARRASSING BUT THANKFUL TO SOME GOOD SAMARITANS THAT HAVE EXITED THEIR VEHICLE TO PUSH ME SAFETY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ACURA CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS YET JUST RESETS THE ERROR CODE AND SENDS ME ON MY WAY TO CALL IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY SINCE NOV 2019 AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE ISSUE IS, EVEN AFTER I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THIS CAR BASED OFF THEIR GUESSES.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. THE ENGINE APPEARS TO GO TO AN IDLE SPEED FOR 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR ACCELERATES. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE LOCAL DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY (AND ACURA) ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SENT THEM VIDEO OF THE TACHOMETER DROPPING TO ~900RPM WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THEY STATE THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES OR INFORMATION THAT INDICATES ANYTHING IS WRONG. THIS SEEMS TO MATCH SAFETY PROBLEMS 11121786, 10775339, 10695446, AND 10694812. ANOTHER PROBLEM THE VEHICLE HAS IS A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. SHIFTING TO A DIFFERENT GEAR MAKES THE SHUDDER GO AWAY. DEALER STATES THIS IS JUST HOW THE TRANSMISSION WORKS. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AROUND 51K MILES. OLD TRANSMISSION DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID A FLUID CHANGE MIGHT HELP. IT DID NOT.

WHILE DRIVING/ACCELERTING ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO A HIGHWAY, HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 55 DEGREES, CLEAR SKIES. APPROX SPEED 40MPH.

THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO NEUTRAL AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM JOHN EAGLE ACURA AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND STARTER ON THE CAR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER PRUCHASE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO SWITCH GEARS ON ITS OWN AND SHUTS OFF! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. PLEASE BEAWARE THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!!!
