“I bought my Acura about 3 months ago but saw they had some recalls on over 400k of these vehicles with fuel issues! Is this going to be an issue for me later with this vehicle? Right now my vehicle is fine though, just wanted it to be known.”

“Gas started leaking from my fuel pump while I was pumping and I only pumped about 8 dollars and a customer said for me to stop pumping and get home and park my car and take it to the dealership asap. The other issue is it jumps out of gear and while driving it just go into hesitate mode and stop mode ar times while on the interstate an driving on the streets causing me to be in a bad accident. This started happening several months after purchasing the car. Between july through now, still does it off and on.”

“My car’s lights were on. I went to Acura to get a diagnostic and they said to replace the fuel pump. I replaced it, and the lights came back on. I got another diagnostic and I was told the fuel pump has a leak. I have an 2017 Acura TLX that was not apart of the recent recall which I believe it should have been because my car is slow to steer which may cause an accident.”
