“Rear camber problem. Even less than 40,000 miles, toe angle is out of specification. It causes uneven wear of rear tires, and shortens tire life-cycle. However, cambers is not adjustable, it requires replacement and alignment. This problem is a well known issues for TSX owners, and dealers know the issue (service bulletin #06-007), but Acura denies warranty service.”

“My headlights always flicker and turn off everytime i drive within 5 minutes of driving. it gets really bad when i drive in cold/wet weather and i’ve replaced the bulbs a good 5 times. Something is wrong with my suspension i think? my VSC and warning light always automatically come and stay on and my car makes a noise everytime i turn/reverse. My car continues to start smoking when i drive, especifically on hot days and multiple mechanics have said i have a severe oil leak/power steering leak and i’ve gone to 3 within the last 6 months. …”

“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.”
