2015 ACURA TLX Complaints

When the vehicle is running in driveway and I then get into it a few minutes later and drive around the corner, when coming to a stop it jerks as if it wants to stall. This happens when I am driving as well and slow down, it’ll jerk and push me forward a little and happens daily so not sure why my vin didn’t come up with a recall because it sounds a lot like the fuel pump issue the one recall mentioned.

My vehicle is experiencing stalling and shutting off in the middle of the road and could cause a possible accident.

I received notice of a recall on my 2015 Acura TLX in January 2024. The notice indicated parts were not available for repair and I would receive further notice when parts became available in early spring. I heard nothing by May 1 so called the dealer. They said parts are coming in slowly and the first available appointment they could give me for repair would be in AUGUST. I am planning to transfer this car to a family member in June, so this is unacceptable. It also means that I continue to be exposed to any safety problems that arise.

This complaint is NOT for a problem that has occurred. This is a complaint about the refusal of Acura (Honda) to perform the necessary inspection & potential repairs associated with Recall Report # [XXX]; potential connecting rod bearing issue. The intitial recall was issued in 11-2023 with instructions to await receipt of a letter from Acura in Spring 2024, instructing me to schedule an inspection appt with an Acura dealer for inspection. I have called a local dealer several times over the last month & been put off for inspection appt due to "lack of parts". Today, [XXX], I was told by the dealer (Maus Acura of Tampa, FL) that no inspections would be performed until "the Fall" of 2024 per the direction of Acura, unless my vehicle was currently experiencing an issue. "An issue" was defined as a loud repeated knocking noise from the engine, whose repetition is in direct relation to the engine rpm's. I was also told that the bearing inspection is not actually performed locally, but by Acura corporate based on pictures taken by the local dealer. Only then would they decide to: 1) replace rod bearings, or 2) replace the engine. I was told to expect another letter from Acura in the Fall of 2024 directing me to schedule an inspection. At this point, it appears Acura is using a delaying tactic to avoid repairing a potentially dangerous defect, at the expense of my safety. This is in direct conflict to the intent of a Safety Recall. I don't appreciate this fact and its potential affects to my livelihood. I believe that a new form of pressure needs to be applied to Acura to force the inspections and repairs.

Vehicle was inspected and this was the finding. I have never been contacted to resolve this.
