2015 ACURA TLX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. WALKER ACURA (8951 VETERANS MEMORIAL BLVD, METAIRIE, LA 70003, (504) 464-4004) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 189,000.

AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, I HAD TO MANEUVER THRU TRAFFIC AND DRIFT TO THE SHOULDER, THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT BE SHIFTED FROM PARK TO ANY GEAR, THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED.THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE VEHICLE COMPUTER HAD TO BE RE-FLASHED/PROGRAMMED. THIS CONDITION COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER.THERE ARE NO FAULT CODES INDICATED AS TO WHY OR WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE. I DID FIND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT A WIRING HARNESS IS CAUSING THESE CONDITIONS IN THE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM.

IN AN IMPACT WITH A PARKED CAR THAT TOTALED THE TLX , THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED WHICH LED TO INJURY TO THE DRIVERS CHEST AND THE HIP OF THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOW THAT THE FRONT IN IS CRUSHED WHILE THE INSIDE PICTURES SHOW THAT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. AFTER THE IMPACT THE CAR COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. PER DRIVER, SHE TRIED TO BREAK, BUT CAR DID NOT STOP. SHE TRIED TO TURN POWER OFF AT IGNITION BUT THAT DID NOT STOP. PUT CAR IN PARK BUT IT CONTINUED ROLLING BACKWARDS UNTIL THE CAR IMPACTED A RETAINING WALL DAMAGING THE BACKEND OF THE CAR. STILL, ACURA SAFETY SYSTEM NEVER DEPLOYS AIRBAGS. ACCORDING TO THE DRIVER, AFTER THE COLLISION ALL SYSTEMS FAILED. SHE WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE OR STOP THE CAR WITH GEARS OR TURNING POWER OFF. WE HAVE MORE PICTURES. IT SEEMS I WAS ONLY ABLE TO LOAD 1. *TR CONSUMER HAS REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER.

CAR HAS AN AUTO IDLE REDUCTION INSTALLED TO SAVE ENERGY. HOWEVER, THE IDLE IS SET SO LOW THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO START OUT AFTER STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR STALLS CONTINUOUSLY.

I OPENED MY SUN ROOF AND NOW IT WON'T CLOSE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE MOON ROOF WILL REVERSE DIRECTION WHEN CONTACTING THE WIND DEFLECTOR AND WILL NOT AUTO-CLOSE EITHER. I TOOK IT INTO ACURA BUT WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY $350 AN HOUR FOR LABOR BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT APART.AND PLUS PARTS, THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DOES NOT COVER THIS.. I DON'T THINK IT IS ANYTHING I DID AND HAVE SEEN ON WEBSITE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER ACURA RDX VEHICLES WITHIN THE LAST YEARS.I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO ANOTHER PLACE TO GET FIXED BECAUSE THINGS GET IN WHEN I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY.

TRANSMISSION IS REALLY ROUGH WHEN SHIFTING TO GEARS 1,2, AND 3. IT IS GETTING WORSE THE MORE I DRIVE. ALSO, VERY SLOW AND ROUGH SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. WHEN I AM DRIVING UPHILL FROM A FULL STOP, I HEAR A LOUD THUD AND FEEL A HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND 2ND TO 3RD. WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWNHILL AND APPROACHING A STOP, IT DANGEROUSLY ACCELERATES THE CAR FORWARD AFTER SHIFTING DOWN TO 3RD, 2ND, AND 1ST GEAR. IT IS ALSO VERY ABRUPT AND JERKY DURING THOSE SHIFTS DOWN.

TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN MY CARS TRANSMISSION WENT IN TO NEUTRAL AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED TO FLASH ERROR MESSAGES I.E. STOP DRIVING WHEN SAFE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM SEE MANUAL,ELECTRICAL PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEMS PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEMS, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM APPLY PARKING BRAKE WHEN PARKED, ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND BLIND SPOT INFO SYSTEM PROBLEM. ALL I CAN DO IS COST OVER TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE IN FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT.
