“Acura TLX, 2019, fuel system failed, shifted gears on its own and I had to immediately die to safety concerns. This issue first appears in september 2019, with 5k miles. Ok november 10,2019, TLX display boards for (navigation and temperature adjustments, use of phone and radio would cycle down on it own. This happened repeatedly while the car is in drive or park. It causes a huge distraction while driving or going into reverse because you cannot utilize your back-up camera, adjust the temperature and cause a major distraction while driving. …”

“It has camera issues where moisture or liquid can go inside, and it is very hard to see when I backup. I have contacted the dealer bodyshop to fix it since they repaired my bumper, but they said it is not their fault and they want more than $1000 to replace it. I did some research online, and a lot of people are having the same issue with poor quality with this brand. I never had camera issues with other brands.”

“My engine shuts off while idling, shifts into neutral automatically, and stalls when sitting at a light. This is a huge safety concern for me. My fuel pressure light and battery comes on when it shuts off.”

NHTSA complaint #11566068, filed 2024-01

“The car will stall. The auto start/stop does not turn the car back on. The car fails to start sometimes when trying to leave. We have almost been rear ended multiple times, the transmission stalls and will not “go” when you press the gas or the car won’t even turn back on. We have contacted Acura and a local dealer. Both say they do not have a remedy for this issue yet even though it’s part of the recall and keep pushing it off to the next season. Each time I call for an inspection, I get told there is nothing they can do. …”

NHTSA complaint #11594623, filed 2024-06

“High pressure fuel pump failure. Car not functional and every warning light started to light up. The car just was serviced for rod bearing (entire crank shaft needed replacement) and regular fuel pump recall replacement which took the dealership almost a month to complete. I spoke to Acura representative who indicated that when either of the fuel pump or high pressure fuel pump is replaced, the other pump could fail. I'm not sure why both of the fuel pumps (standard and high) are not both replaced as part of the recall if there is substantial damage as was my case. …”
