I received a recall notice in july 2016.nhtsa recall16v-346. The recall letter recommended no one should sit in the passenger seat. I called the dealer and honda and was told that the part will be available at the end of the summer. 5 month later still no news from the dealer.we are unable to use the car fully until it is fixed.

Takata recall.after a stop and go in traffic there is a hesitation when pressing on the gas pedal.after the computer is reset it's fine for a couple weeks.
Air passenger bag recall... It's already been over 6 months or so since last year (2016) that i inform acura that i have a recall. I inform them that i would like to get it done as soon as possible because i drove around with my client, nieces, family, friends etc.. I already had accident which is only me in the car. Whenever its time for my car service, i would remind them or inform them again and again how long does it take? i drove the car everyday!!! this case of recall should be done right away not wait for half a year or so to get it done.. And i'm still waiting for call or whatever they say they still waiting for the parts to come in..this is so disappointing!
Takata recall - called several dealers, no parts available to order, no time line given, no rental car provided, was instructed not to drive with passengers.absolutely ridiculous!

While driving and almost ending up in a accident to where i could injurymyself or someoneelse my car immediately said check power steering and the steering wheel locked as well then the dealership chargers 1500.00 just not safe and over priced repair to something that gives you know warning.
On 11/19/19 my car was parked at a grocery store. When i got in to start it i gota flashing message regarding the electric power steering: 51. I couldn't really move the steering wheel and thankfully i was not driving. I had to had the car towed home. Upon looking into this i can see this has happened to a lot of people. The same year, make and model within the same mileage range as me. I have a 2011 acura tsx with 75,000 miles. There is no reason this should be happening, i have had every required maintenance. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. Acura needs to do the right thing and recall this so they can fix it. Why would anyone owing this car ever buy another acura knowing that with no fault of their own this can happen to them. Needless to say i have an appointment on 01/02/2020. The dealership said there is a "bulletin" regarding this issue. They are clearly aware of this problem.
The contact owned a 2011 acura tsx. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked at his residence, a popping noise was heard as the contact went to investigate he found the vehicle on fire. The contact stated that it may have been an electric problem.the fire department was able to extinguish the fire. No fire department report was filed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated before the incident. The vehicle has not been taken to local dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The contact stated that the vehicle was a total loss and the vehicle was still at his residence. The manufacturer has not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. *ln
Check power steering system warning light came on after being parked for 9 hours in a parking deck at work. As i was getting off work i placed my key in theignition and that's when the light appeared. I took the key out and let the car sit for a while about 20 minutes and started the car again,but it did the same thing.
The contact owns a 2011 acura tsx. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle lost power without warning. The contact called acura of honolulu at 808-829-3073 (3251 n nimitz hwy, honolulu, hi 96819), but there was no response or return call from the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.
At only 40,000 miles, my 2011 acura tsx has vtec actuator failure.it started to show signs of this over the last 5,000 - 10,000 miles or so and has become increasingly worse.i hear a grinding noise whenever i start my vehicle first thing in the morning.my local acura dealer has done a diagnostic and has confirmed the actuator failure.honda who also owns acura, has been aware of this issue since approximately 2008.it is affecting a very large portion of vehicles with a honda vtec engine. They have done nothing to fix this issue and it is affecting brand new vehicles as well.now, they want to pass along the cost of repairs to me even though i should not be experiencing these kinds of problems at only 40,000 miles.i am still waiting for documentation from my dealer that confirms the actuator failure and can provide it in the next couple of days.
Vehicle is experiencing a high oil consumption issue. Every 1000 miles it's required one quart of oil to be added to the oil filler. Acura has a warranty extension for this know issue to 8 years or 125,000 miles from the original date of service, whichever comes first. My vehicle was noticed to have this problem at 83,000 miles and just under 9 years of service. Acura customer relations was contacted but refused to service my vehicle due to lack of service at their dealership even though i have records of making my synthetic oil changes and other repairs at an independent mechanic shop.
Steering wheel clicks when i turn and when i start my car up after letting it sit for a couple of hours, it makes a rattle sound in the engine. The rattle sound is the sound a engine make when the oil is low or not getting to the pistons.
Continuing problem since purchase.at slow speed in traffic or turning, press accelerator acts as though it is not getting gas, press further for acceleration car jerks and proceeds.dealer has reset computer twice, runs good for couple days then back to its old habits. Dealer test drove vehicle, claims they can't find a problem, dealer refuses to check further.
Takata recall.after a stop and go in traffic there is a hesitation when pressing on the gas pedal.after the computer is reset it's fine for a couple weeks.
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.on a separate problem, the transmission has been downshifting on its own, i'm driving along, around 45 mph or so, the transmission is in d, dash light & shifter in d, then every now & then the tach whines, the transmission downshifts & shows a lower gear (like 4 or 2 or 1) in the small black square on the right of the dashboard gear interface. The gear shifter is still in d, but the car is in a different gear.i slow down, then shift into n, then put back to d, then it drives normal again, with nothing in the small black square on the dashboard (next to the gear indicator).
While turning left my car was struck head on by another vehicle suddenly emerging from behind a snowbank and turning left from the opposite direction.air bags deployed. Passenger behind the driver hit her head on the seat in front of her despite having her seatbelt fastened, and was mildly concussed.thinking the problem was with the seatbelt pre-tensioning system.
First seat leather on back busted on both front seats as well as the leather on driver's door rest. I have had motor issues, leather on door panel pucked. Aura dealership fixed the motor and , one of the busted seat and the door panel. The drive seat busted in 2013, passenger 2016 and the driver's 2015. I've never owner and car with some many issues.
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 timeto move to another lane to avoid hitting a car in front of me.it was very scary to have this happen, and it made me park my car that i paid over 20kin the garage of my home until the warmer weather hit new england.i couldn't of been more angry as i bought the car to drive year round.i contacted acura of auburn to file complaint to try to find parts to repair this, and they were not able to locate these parts and were of no help at all.this particular issue should be on a recall list of repairs to be done.this is a safety problem and should be addressed accordingly.i have researched this online and have read other owners complaints of the same make and model and they have received no remedy to this issue as well.they were not as fortunate as i was to be able to avoid an accident as they had photos of their vehicles involved in an acccident situation due to this braking problem.i hope this is looked at and a remedy to this situation is offered to all acura owners dealing with the same issue as myself by the winter months.

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.didquick 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.
The contact owns a 2011 acura tsx. When the vehicle was started, the brake pedal was difficult to depress. After the vehicle was warmed up, the brake pedal was able to be depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,400. Updated 02/07/2017*ct
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. The weather temperatures on all three occasions werebelow 10 degreesf.there are multiple acura's owners already experiencing this horrific issue. Acura needs to acknowledge this problem and issue a recall on these vehicles asap. What prove do you need? you want to wait until people start getting into accidents and dye because of brake failure in their cars? this is unacceptable! please issue a recall on acura vehicles.
When stopped at traffic light, power steering warning lights came on.car did not have power steering.turned car off and then back on.warned lights came back on and not power steering.turned car off for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, warning lights did not come back on and power steering seemed to be working.pulled car into parking lot and drove around parking lot for several minutes.power steering working and not warning lights on.pulled back on main road (9:30 p.m.) and when reached approximately 25 mph, warning lights came back and not power steering in car.pull over and had car towed in for service.
My "check power steering" light came on while my car was moving 5mph through a parking garage. Instantly my wheel became very hard to move. After parking and turning the car off/on the problem resolved itself. 5 days later i was traveling down a residential road the eps failed again. The dealership quoted me $2000 in repairs, and acura said there was no warranty or campaign coverage for the costs. Between the 2011 and 2012 model years there are 60+ complaints for low mileage failure of eps while driving. This problem should be subject to investigation and safety recall.
I am installing a third eps module and they keep failing. Acura needs to initiate a recall for the power steering issue. There are some many people having this same issue.
I have a 2011 acura tsx. The electronic power steering keeps malfunctioning while driving in moving traffic. It appears the electric power steering (eps) module is malfunctioning. This is a known problem with this model acura. Acura is well aware of this issue, yet has done nothing to remedy this safety issue. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of complaints about the eps. Acura still has not issued a recall. This is a serious (and dangerous) problem. The steering can just working without notice at highway speeds making the car uncontrollable. Will it cost someone's life before acura issues a recall for this known problem with their vehicle? if acura does not fix this problem, someone will get killed driving their acura, and by then it will be too late.
The steering went out in my car when i was driving on the interstate.my car is 6 years old with 100,000 miles and i had to replace the steering module for $1300.this seems odd to me for this to happen in a newer car.
While driving and almost ending up in a accident to where i could injurymyself or someoneelse my car immediately said check power steering and the steering wheel locked as well then the dealership chargers 1500.00 just not safe and over priced repair to something that gives you know warning.

My car has approximately 75,000 miles.i was driving in a parking lot and and indicator came on stating "check power steering."the steering wheel locked up and became almost impossible to turn. I turned the car off and went on my way, hoping it was a temporary problem.the problem went away the next time i turned on my car.but 3 days later, the var did the same thing when i was driving in a parking lot.this time, it never went away.the car could not be driven, and was towed to my mechanic.my mechanic noticed that the power steering system frequently failed on 2011 acura tsx's.when i searched for "2011 acura tsx steering failure," i also noticed that this problem has happened frequently and has caused a number of accidents--the power steering has failed while people were driving.my mechanic ordered a new power steering computer for my car, but that did not fix the problem.at this point, it appears the entire steering rack needs to be replaced, which will cost $5,000-$6000.
Power steering completely went out while driving. Steering wheel won't turn at all. Light going off about power steering malfunction.
I had returned home from visiting my daughter, and parked my car in my driveway.thirty minutes later i returned to my car to driveit to town and the power steering indicator was lit up. I had lost power steering. Car is seven years old with 100k miles. I took it to honda dealer since we don't have an acura dealer.they quoted me 3k to repair. I said thatwas unacceptable.short of replacingthe engine in a car,no repair should cost that. I bought acura because i thought they were reliable. Thisis ridiculous.service person suggested i trade it in instead of putting that much into it. Are you kidding me!!so, i guess i will be driving without power steering.
While driving at approximately 45 mph my power steering abruptly failed.the "check power steering" indicator came on. The steering wheel immediately locked up. I was able to get the car into a nearby store parking lot but steering ability was almost nonexistent. I had the car towed to my acura dealer who looked at the car and told me the electronic power steering component had failed and would need to be replaced. I researched this online and found that this seems to be a common problem with this make and model. The unit was replaced at a cost of $1,500. This is a serious safety issue and should be investigated as acura/honda has not addressed this at all.
Check power steering system warning light came on after being parked for 9 hours in a parking deck at work. As i was getting off work i placed my key in theignition and that's when the light appeared. I took the key out and let the car sit for a while about 20 minutes and started the car again,but it did the same thing.
Got my eps system replaced about 1 years ago paid 1300 to fix now it seems to be a known issue recently my steering gets hard some days and other days its smooth dont know what to do i cant afford another 1300 for something that is know to be failing
Steering system fails intermittently. Eps warning light comes on and the car becomes uncontrollable in the highway and very hard to maneuver in the parking lot. This is extremely scary situation. I was glad i was able to exit the freeway and stop the car at a safe location. Electronic power steering module (eps) is failing.
While driving my 2011 acura tsx wagon on 10 july 2021, the power steering failure indicator light came on while crossing a bridge and my power steering immediately failed. After the vehicle was towed home, i searched the manual and found there is no power steering reservoir to check for fluid. So i researched youtube and found that this power steering has been a major problem with this vehicle.this is extremely dangerous and as i was on a bridge the danger was even greater as i could not pull over.i managed to safely exit but could not pull into a parking lot as there was not enough distance to keep the vehicle moving and i was unable to turn the wheel while the vehicle was almost at a standstill. When i got the car home, i researched how to correct the problem.since the manual was useless, i turned to youtube and proceeded to check the fuse first. It was not blown.the steering control module needs to be replaced and the authorized dealership wants $1500 to $2000 to replace.my car has been well maintained and just turned 80,000 miles.this is a safety issue and could have put me in a very dangerous situation since i was unable to steer my vehicle! please contact my husband as soon as possible about replacing the power steering module as i need the use of my car! you can reach him at [xxx] or email [xxx] parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2011 acura tsx. While driving approximately 67 mph, the power steering seized without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that an appointment was pending with hendrick acura (located at 6824 e independence blvd, charlotte, nc 28227, (980) 242-5667). The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000. Piir=y.
Steering wheel clicks when i turn and when i start my car up after letting it sit for a couple of hours, it makes a rattle sound in the engine. The rattle sound is the sound a engine make when the oil is low or not getting to the pistons.
While driving on highway driver side windshield trim panel flew off into traffic causing a car to swerve at highway speed. Included with the genuine acura replacement part (# 73162-tl2-305zd) was service bulletin # 09-030 which states that the glue needs to be replaced. I talked to acura of wappingers service and parts department and acura of america regarding this issue. All parties denied replacing the glue on the clips. Some of the clips are very out of place due to what i believe is the glue softening in the sun. I truly believe this is a safety hazard because of the potential of this panel hits a pedestrian or car and creating an accident with potential injury or death. Car has been in 0 accidents. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
First seat leather on back busted on both front seats as well as the leather on driver's door rest. I have had motor issues, leather on door panel pucked. Aura dealership fixed the motor and , one of the busted seat and the door panel. The drive seat busted in 2013, passenger 2016 and the driver's 2015. I've never owner and car with some many issues.
