2007 Acura TSX Complaints

DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH, IT BECAME HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE WERE NO HITS/BUMPS/ETC. SO; IT WAS POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING AND I HAD TO GET POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED. THE CAR WAS ALWAYS DEALER MAINTAINED, THERE WERE NO KNOWN REASONS FOR THE LEAK; NO BUMP HITS AS MENTIONED. THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS REPLACED WHEN IT WAS RECALLED. ONE KNOWN ISSUE WAS THAT I WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING KNOWN SQUEAKING STEERING NOISE ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS KNOWN, BUT NOT RISKY. THERE SHOULD BE FULL POWER STEERING RACK RECALL ON THESE MODELS (TO COVER LEAK AND NOISE ISSUES). I CAN NOT THINK OF HOW THIS COULD END ON A HIGHWAY. *TR

TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY IN LOS ANGELES. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE DRY. NO ISSUE REGARDING VISIBILITY. FRONT VEHICLE STOPPED. APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP, BUT ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES TO GRIND AND VEHICLE TO GLIDE, RATHER THAN ABRUPTLY STOP, RESULTING IN A REAR-END COLLISION. AIRBAGS DID NOT ACTIVATE. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE FRONT END OF THE ACURA, SPECIFICALLY THE GRILL AND HEADLIGHTS CAUSING SIDE-BAR DAMAGE (ESTIMATE INDICATES $5,000+ DAMAGE). MINOR DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE REAR BUMPER OF THE REAR-ENDED VEHICLE (ESTIMATE INDICATES $1200). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA TSX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST MODULE HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2007 ACURA TSX AUTOMATIC AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN START TO MOVE AGAIN. ACURA HAS STATED THAT ALL OF THEIR TRANSMISSIONS MAKE THIS CLICKING NOISE ALL THE TIME, HOWEVER IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS TO DO THIS AND NO OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED MAKES THIS NOISE. I'VE ALSO DONE MY RESEARCH AND ALL ACURA TSX AUTOMATIC OWNERS FROM THE 04-08 MODEL YEARS EXPERIENCE THIS CLICKING PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A BAD SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND BUSHING. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD ACURA FIX THE PROBLEM ONLY FOR IT TO COME BACK IN 10K - 20K MILES. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO A RECALL FOR THIS. I AM SURE IT COULD LEAD TO MORE ISSUES WITH THE CAR FURTHER ON. *TR

2007 ACURA TSX. CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. CONSUMER STATES THERE IS NO ACURA DEALER NEAR HIM AND HONDA SAID THEY WOULD DO THE REPAIR BUT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEN BE REIMBURSED BY ACURA AND ALSO GET ACURA TO AGREE. *KB
