2006 ACURA TSX Complaints

The power steering is leaking constantly as soon as u pour it in the car drive it 2 miles all leaks out and have to refill in order for the power steering to work correctly and there is a recall for it on this vehicle.

Power steering rack & pinion always leaks on these vehicles. It is possible to lose all pressure in system and for vehicle to lose control while on the road. Acura is aware of the issue on 04-08 TSX models but refuses to issue a recall. On my personal vehicle, the driver's side seal is leaking.

THE CAR IS ABOUT TO NEED THE STEERING RACK REPLACED FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE AUGUST OF 2021. THE POWER STEERING FLUID GETS LOW AND NEEDS TO BE REFILLED EVERY FEW MONTHS. STEERING RACK EVENTUALLY SPRINGS LEAK EVERY SINGLE TIME. ALREADY HAD HOSE REPLACED FROM RECALL.

Every day I. The morning, the car would not start even though the battery is new and the car is driven everyday and mechanics can not find the problem and it passes all tests when checked for problems.

Paint has pealed away, exposing the metal on the body which is starting to rust. The major areas are on top of hood, roof and top of trunk.

I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE AND STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND SAW THAT ACTUALLY I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOW IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S WORSE THAN JUST THE HOSES. I'VE TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAY NO YOU'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL I HAVE ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE STATED AND NOW IT'S BECOME EXACERBATED. I NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BINDS, THE ENGINE DOESN'T NOT QUICKLY RETURN TO IDLE AFTER THE PEDAL IS NO LONGER PRESSED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 124, ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. *TR

WHEN APPLYING FIRM PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, IT RESPONDS WITH A SERIES OF RAPID VIBRATIONS AND CONCOMITANT CLICKING NOISE. I NEVER FEEL A SOLID AND RESPONSIVE BREAKING SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO SLOW IN ICE ON A SIDE STREET IN 06 AT WHICH TIME I CALLED ACURA TO COMPLAIN. A FEW DAYS AGO, I ATTEMPTED TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I WAS ROLLING AFTER RELEASING MY BREAK FROM A FULL STOP, SO NOT EVEN ANY MPG'S. THIS WAS ON A SIDE STREET, AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE. IT WAS PROBABLY IN SEPTEMBER 2019. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE, BUT I WORRY THAT MY BRAKES WILL NEVER BE THERE WHEN I NEED THEM.
