This vehicle is so unsafe. I had lots of different situations happen and when I take it to the dealership they check it and say it's fine ! the vehicle stalls and hesitates and I get sensors going off constantly including the brake sensor when there is nothing in front of me for it to go off. I've had the vehicle go in park by itself while on a light. The vehicle doesn't start and always needs a jump I got the battery checked multiple times and the dealership told me my battery is good and I have to charge it. I believe there is an electrical issue with this vehicle. My vehicle only has 30,000 miles I have all my maintenance done at the dealership on time I purchased this vehicle thinking it's reliable being I'm a mother of two kids!

Car won't crank and won't start. Ended up stranded numerous times within the last 2 months while out shopping. Each time stranded, the car would start after being jumped by another vehicle each time. After the first account of being stranded and jumped by another vehicle, I immediately drove to the dealership and was told by the dealership that my car battery was testing "very good" and they said my battery would recharge itself and that the drainage could be due to the hot Texas weather. Not so much the case as I ended up stranded two days after that, once again. Then, a week or so later, on another account of being stranded and jumped started by another vehicle, I drove to autozone to have them test my battery to find that it then too tested "very good." Autozone suggested that I purchase a portable car charger, so I did. Came to find out that upon being stranded the fourth time, the portable charger was unable to get me jumped/started. So, I had to call roadside assistance. Roadside assistance tried using "their" portable car charger but failed to work. So the rep pulled out his jumper cables and was able to jump my car after about 5 minutes. At that point, I went back to autozone and decided to purchase a new car battery even though my existing battery tested "very good" once again. Immediately following the battery replacement, my SRS airbag light became illuminated and has been on since then. It's been 3 weeks since I've had the new batter installed and I'm now stranded again. I've seen way tooo many posts with other folks experiencing this same issue. Please investigate!!!!!

After replacing my battery on my 2015 Tlx I started receiving warning codes saying emission system problem and electric parking brake problem. I went to 3 different Acura dealerships for a diagnosis and was given a different diagnosis from each dealership. I first seen the codes as I was entering the expressway at approximately 35 mph 1 week after getting a new battery.

Soy based wiring placed in vehicle by Acura manufacture causes an attraction to rodents, squirrels, mice to eat the wires. The rodents are attracted to the taste of the material. Since January of this year 2020 I have sustained damage three times to my 2015 Acura Tlx which cost thousands of dollars to repair. This soy based material is being placed in the newer models to save on cost for the manufacturer, but leave costumers, like myself, at a deficit of money and time for repairs. It is also unsafe, because one never knows when the car will stop running or if it will even start. I have been effected by this in January of 2020, March 2020 and again in May 2020. I also own a 2015 Honda Accord and my husband a 2009 Toyota that are parked in the same area and no such damage has occurred to these older model cars. The corporate office is aware of the soy based material, but refuses to take responsibility. If this soy based material was not put in the cars to begin with then rodents would not be attracted. My older cars stand as a testament as well as my neighbors cars that are not affected. There are other newer makes of vehicles that are noted in research that are being eaten by rodents due to soy. This has caused me time and money and was never disclose to me upon purchase. I am very disappointed and consider this a danger to myself because I don't know if or when the car would stop while I'm driving. I found out all three times upon attempting to start my car in the morning while on my way to work. I got messages that told me to "park the car, check engine, check transmission"... I consider this a manufacturers defect and while I make car payments I have been unable to drive my vehicle. My car is a 2015 Acura Tlx that I just purchased in January of 2019 certified preowned. This soy based material is tasty to rodent and is causing them to eat at my wires.

Starting in Nov 2019 my Acura Tlx started to spontaneously decelerate and lose engine power when in motion. Error code of P0087 was provided by Acura of milford, ct and was highly suggestive of replacing high pressure fuel pump. The engine fuel pump was replaced in early Dec 2019 however the car continued with loss of power, terrible gas mileage, poor acceleration and multiple warnings illuminated. Acura of milford was contacted and they noted it may be the other fuel pump that needed to be replaced. The second in tank fuel pump was replaced mid Dec 2019 with no improvement. The car was brought to Acura Dec 31, 2019 and they said there was nothing to be found, they reset the P0087 code and did a hard reset. The car still continued with the same symptoms but now with a humming noise present. In Feb 2020, the fuel rail and sensor was replaced, yet still no improvement. The car was taken back to Acura and once again they reset the error code and noted they only found corrosion near the sensor and they cleaned it off. Car was driving much worse now and if it loss power it would not start up unless cranked 15-25 times in a 10 min window. March 2020 the spark plugs were replaced and the car is still not driving right, all symptoms still present and the humming noise is getting louder. This car has loss power while in motion randomly in the middle of traffic, both on street and most dangerously on the highway, embarrassing but thankful to some good samaritans that have exited their vehicle to push me safety on multiple occasions. Acura can not duplicate the problems yet just resets the error code and sends me on my way to call if it happens again. It has been happening frequently since Nov 2019 and no one can tell me what the issue is, even after I have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this car based off their guesses.

The car automatically switches to neutral and shuts off while driving. I bought the car brand new from john Eagle Acura and have had this problem the entire time that I have owned the vehicle. The dealership replaced the transmission and starter on the car less than 3 months after pruchase. The car continues to switch gears on its own and shuts off! the dealership says that nothing is wrong with the car. Please beaware this car is not safe to drive!!!

The car has an intermittent problem where the car dies completely after it comes to a stop (numerous times) and it can be turn on for a few minutes. There has been incidents where I have come close to be hit in the rear of the car (by other cars) because the car won't re-start immediately. Dealers have try to fix the problem but the situation remains the same.

The vsa problem light & forward collision warning problem light came up while driving and the vehicle stopped & stalls all in a sudden. Not sure if this is a safety issue, but almost got into a car accident. Please help! thank you

In an impact with a parked car that totaled the Tlx, the airbags never deployed which led to injury to the drivers chest and the hip of the passenger in the front of the car. The attached picture show that the front in is crushed while the inside pictures show that the airbags never deployed. After the impact the car could not be controlled. Per driver, she tried to break, but car did not stop. She tried to turn power off at ignition but that did not stop. Put car in park but it continued rolling backwards until the car impacted a retaining wall damaging the backend of the car. Still, Acura safety system never deploys airbags. According to the driver, after the collision all systems failed. She was unable to brake or stop the car with gears or turning power off. We have more pictures. It seems I was only able to load 1. consumer has reached out to the manufacturer.

I opened my sun roof and now it won't close. When attempting to close the moon roof will reverse direction when contacting the wind deflector and will not auto-close either. I took it into Acura but was told I had to pay $350 an hour for labor because they would have to take it apart.and plus parts, the warranty does not cover does not cover this.. I don't think it is anything I did and have seen on website this has happened to other Acura rdx vehicles within the last years.I will be taking my vehicle in to another place to get fixed because things get in when I drive on the freeway.

Push button start often in cold weather will not start car. However, remote engine start function on the remote will work. If car was running and then turned off for a few minutes in cold, the car will not restart unless done through remote start

Acura by executive (527 Washington ave, North haven, ct) was notified of the failure. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist.

I have had the vehicle into the dealer 3 times (Feb 2018, July 2018 and Nov 18) for the same problem. Each time the vehicle stalls and must bet into park and restarted when at a stop sign, stop light or stopped for road construction on the highway. The automatic idle causes the car to stall. In order to get it going must shift into park and restart. It is very frightening because it happens intermittently. This happens with no warning and presents a safety issue. The car is not safe and is a hazard.
