2011 Acura TSX Brakes Problems

“On three occasions 2011 Acura TSX breaks have failed while driving, causing me to have to use my emergency break in order to avoid accident. I attempted to slow down while going off the highway exit and pushed on breaks only to find the break pedal was extremely stiff and would not move no matter how hard I pushed on it... After few minutes, the breaks started working normally. The vehicle was pre-warmed for at least 15 min before driving every time. …”

“7 f, car was parked outside all night, started car, waited a few minutes, backed out, brakes normal, driving forward slowly, brakes normal, was going 30 approaching stop sign, went to brake, pedal was solid...nothing was under the pedal, but felt like there was a brick under the pedal. Obviously I didn't stop, thank goodness no cars were on the road. I slowed down eventually, then pushed extremely hard on the pedal and was able to brake. Then after driving very slowly & testing hard pedal, the pedal acted normal after a few minutes. Normal pedal now. …”

“Abs/vsa warning light in instrument panel comes on at start-up, other times when driving, then disappears only to come back on again and later re-appear, disappears, intermittently. Dealer has quoted $2,900 for ABS/vsa module 57110-tl2-s21 to which I said no way. Did quick survey on the internet and found this is a frequent problem on those vehicles, and 2 or 3 model years.. Think NHTSA should look into this as it's safety related and cause accidents and, quite possibly, fatal results.”

“No brakes or very stiff brake pedal when below freezing until car warms up. Have had brake fluid replaced and bled multiple times and problem not fixed. Happens every time below 25 degrees and is worse the colder it is.”

“In freezing temperatures, my car has an extremely hard brake petal (it seems like there is no power assist)and will not stop the car. As soon as car warms up the brake petal feel comes back and braking returns to normal. I have had this happen 3 times during the dead freezing cold temperatures and went to apply my brakes and I had nothing to stop my car. I was able at each one of those moments in time to move to another lane to avoid hitting a car in front of me. …”
