2004 ACURA TSX Complaints

AS MANY HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT. CENTRE STACK LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AND I AM NOT UNDER WARRANTY! WHY SHOULD ANY TSX OWNER HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, OBVIOUSLY WIDE SPREAD, PROBLEM!? 2004 ACURA TSX ONLY SOLUTION ACURA OFFERS IS TO REPLACE CONSOLE! *TR

WHEN BRAKING, THE DRIVER'S SEAT SLIDES FORWARD (ABOUT 1/4 OF AN INCH). THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT IT IS WITHIN NORMAL SPECIFICATIONS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 ACURA TSX. WHILE ACCELERATING BETWEEN 35-75 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART WITHIN 1-10 MINUTES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 ACURA TSX; NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V097000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,400 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000. UPDATED 01/29/08 *BF THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 ACURA TSX ON ROUTE 29 IN GAINESVILLE VA, IT IS A MAJOR 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET, THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SOUTHBOUND LANES. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO LUCK, THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR REMAINED ON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE CAR IS BLACK AND THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT 5:30 AM. I HAD TO GRAB MY NEWBORN INFANT FROM THE BACK SEAT AND RUN FROM THE CAR BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START AND CARS WERE TRAVELING 60 MPH IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANE HEADED DIRECTLY FOR MY CAR, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 ACURA TSX. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE DROVE TO THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 50,000. *AK

MY REAR CHAMBERS ON MY 2004 ACURA TSX HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO PROBLEMS. I NOTICED OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO REPLACE THESE EARLY IN THEIR CAR HISTORY. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT TELL ME HOW LONG MINE HOW BEEN OUT BUT I ESTIMATE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 50,000 MILES BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN MY REAR TIRES STARTED WEARING OUT PREM. *NM

MY REAR SUSPENSION CAMBER WAS REPORT OFF BY 3 DEGREES AND BROKEN AT 39K MILES. THEY CLAIMED THAT THE CAR COULD HAVE FAILED WHILE DRIVING BUT THE CAR HAS NEVER DROVE ANY DIFFERENT SINCE I BOUIGHT IT 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO DISCOVERY OF MISS ALIGNMENT. *NM

ACURA TSX MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 56K. THE PROBLEM CAUSED A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION CASE WHILE IN GEAR. NOISE GOES AWAY WHEN CLUTCH IS PRESSED IN. I AM 6K OVER MY WARRANTY AND THE DEAL IS STILL GOING TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY QUOTED AT $4500.00 TO REPLACE. I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING THE COST OF THE CLUTCH $400. I READ ONE OTHER INSTANCE WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH A TSX OWNER. *JB

ON MY WAY TO WORK, I STARTED HEARING A NOISE IN THE DRIVETRAIN. I CHECKED THE CAR OVER THE NEXT MORNING AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY'RE TELLING ME THE CARRIER BEARINGS AND DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS ARE WORN OUT IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION -- AFTER ONLY 54K MILES?! THEY'RE NOT COVERING IT UNDER WARRANTY. I'M BEING TOLD IT IS NOT A "WARRANTY ITEM. *JB
