On June 7th 2020 I was driving my car, it started to shake. As I started to drive back home to see what was going on all the problems showed up in the screen. I had to drive with my emergency hazard lights on because I couldn't go more then 25 mph or it would shake even more. We have at least 12 pictures of what's showing in the screen. We are only able to upload one.

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.

While driving straight or turning left or right, occasionally the car will fail to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed. The engine appears to go to an idle speed for 1-2 seconds and then the car accelerates. This has been brought to the attention of the local dealer multiple times but they (and Acura) are unable or unwilling to fix this problem. I have sent them video of the tachometer dropping to ~900rpm when this happens. They state there are no error codes or information that indicates anything is wrong. This seems to match safety problems 11121786, 10775339, 10695446, and 10694812. Another problem the vehicle has is a shudder in the transmission at certain speeds. Shifting to a different gear makes the shudder go away. Dealer states this is just how the transmission works. Transmission was replaced around 51K miles. Old transmission did not have this problem. Dealer said a fluid change might help. It did not.

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!!!

All repairs to my car have been performed at the Acura dealor- pohanka Acura located in chantilly, va. I have had numerous problems since buying the car on March 1, 2015. Apart from recalls, the main concern has been transmission, I have gone back and forth probably 30 times for same issue - transmission, yet the problem persists desoite it being changed once already. I am tired of wasting time at Acura dealor. On October 23, 2019 while driving at a speed of about 55 miles/hr all the alerts and indicators lit up yet again in the dashboard and the car shifted to neutral and I could not shift any gears whatsoever. Within seconds car came to a complete stop and the indicators said to put the car in park gear as soon as possible, which I did. At this time I was in left lane with bad weather and almost got hit by a few cars. I was scared and literally anything could have happened. I called pohanka Acura and they said there's nothing I could do to even bring the car in neutral to get it out of left lane to move it to shoulder. The alerts had come on once before as well, at which time I notified the dealorship - they disregarded the issue saying that no one else has reported this. The alerts went away after shutting off and restarting the car. Not this time. I was left stranded in left lane. I am scared and concerned about mine and my family's safety. Are the technicians at pohanka Acura not trained to troubleshoot the issues" why did I had to go and spend hours at a time to troubleshoot the same issues over and over again? did the dealor sell me a lemon" I have all documentation for each service call, but the space is not allowing me to write all the details and file size limitation is preventing me to upload all the service documents. Please help!

My car has about 74000 miles, and Acura has changed the transmission and tcm once already. On October 23, 2019 while driving at a speed of about 55 miles/hr (on highway) all the alerts and indicators lit up yet again in the dashboard and the car shifted to neutral and I could not shift any gears whatsoever. Within seconds car came to a complete stop and the indicators said to put the car in park gear as soon as possible, which I did. At this time I was in left lane with bad weather and almost got hit by a few cars. I was scared and literally anything could have happened. This happened once before as well, but shutting down and restarting worked - dealer was notified but nothing was done. This time I was stranded. I am scared about my and my family's safety. My story is very long starting from day 1 when I bought this car on March 1, 2015 at pohanka Acura in chantuilly va (the dealership), but the space is not allowing me to write the complete story. Acura is not doing much to resolve this issue or the dealership is not telling me the whole truth!

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.

- Eastpoint, GA, USA

At 70 mph the vehicle lost power, all warning lights came on, I had to maneuver thru traffic and drift to the shoulder, the transmission was locked up and could not be shifted from park to any gear, the accelerator would not work. The car had to be towed.the dealership said the vehicle computer had to be re-flashed/programmed. This condition could have caused an accident for an inexperienced driver.there are no fault codes indicated as to why or what caused this issue. I did find through research that a wiring harness is causing these conditions in the make, model and year vehicle. Also the transmission is related to this problem.

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

Almost immediately after bought I noticed my 2015 Acura Tlx 3.5L V6 jerked significantly between gears 1-3. I have a one-hour commute each way in stop-and-go freeway traffic, and the problem is hugely annoying. Frequently it jerks so hard that my head hits the headrest repeatedly. I feel like someone rear ending slowly, at the end of my commute, I'm wiped out from all the jerking back-and-forth. The dealer says Acura is calling this "a characteristic of the vehicle" for which there is no fix. Apparently I just have to live with it; even though Acura has extended-the warranty for 10 years of period seems like Acura dealership doesn't really wanna do anything about it. I went few Acura dealerships and show them the recall notice which received in the mail still service advisors refusing diagnose the issue for free all they telling is change the transmission fluid and pay for the diagnoses. My car engine was overheated due to atf coolant fan malfunction even though Acura had a recall on atf coolant, Acura dealers made me pay $900. This car will definitely be my last Acura if this issue does not get resolved. The thought of spending rest of the years getting my head banged against the headrest in a $40,000 car is extremely unethical and depressing. Please be kind enough to be help me out to resolve this issue which in a quick manner for mine & others safety concern.

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.
