Oil pump seal leaking, was leaking prior to rod bearing recall repair, Acura didn't recommend nor replace during recall, engine is smoking, also at night, lane keep assist repeatly steers towards passing vehicle headlights almost causing head-on collision, extremely scary, this is ridiculous and I'm stuck with vehicle being I'm upside down on loan, Absolutely a nightmare!!!! Contacted dealership that completed recall and was given run around so I called acura and they spoke with dealer, dealer waived diagnostic fee, but are charging for parts n services which I can't afford. And, I no longer trust them under my hood so unsure of what to do!!! This is my hard earned money at work!!!

What owners say
All lights turned on randomly during drive. Replaced battery 2x seeing it was a common issue in my year acura and also newer models. Still have the issue occuring. All lights from transmission error to lane keep asist ect.
The lane keeping assist problem light message comes up on my dashboard. The dealership wants $1600 to repair this problem but i don’t understand why it should have failed in the first place. The camera system should last for 10 plus years. In addition, this message can’t be cleared and it is a hazard as I can’t see any other safety messages that may come up
For some time now, before I was aware of this service, my car warning lights indicate that there is an issue with my forward collision, my lane departure, and the lane keeping assistance. It further indiscretion to clean my front windshield. I do so, but the warning still remains. Then some time will pass and the warning goes off. This warning happens sporadically, even giving impression of some hesitation while accelerating, and other times with drag when breaking. I made mention ofv this concern once to my dealership, but they said because it was now out of warranty, the check for the problem world cost $200. But now after reading of similar issues with other cars on this site, I will pursue a check on it.
I bought the car July of last year (2020) and noticed the car was a bit jerky when I accelerated from a complete stop. But as I started to drive the car more I noticed it was jerky shifting from 2nd to 3rd gears. Its a violent jerk. Everyone in the car whiplashes when it happens. When I go downhill and press on the brakes to slow down it gets a sudden burst of speed and doesn't slow down but goes faster even when pushing on the brake. On the dashboard I have multiple lights that won't turn off. The lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, forward collision warning as well. I havent gone to the dealership or have had checked out by Acura or anyone just yet. But I know other people have the same exact problems and its a real danger to drive and these things happen on a daily basis. Im sure its something with the transmission and something needs to happen because I love this car and worried about safety of me and others out on the road
When driving on a windy road around 40mph the car went into limp mode causing the car to suddenly decelerate to 5 MPH which nearly caused an accident by the car behind me. The car then started displaying multiple error codes on the dash (electric parking brake problem, emissions system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problem, lane departure warning problem).
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 acura tlx. The contact stated while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle safety warning brake light, lane departure and steering light illuminated on the vehicle and would not turn off. The contact was able to pull over the vehicle into a parking lot where they had the vehicle towed to local dealer proctor acura (3523 w tennessee st, tallahassee, fl 32304) who diagnosed the failure as the rear actuators. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,000. *ln*jb vehicle was taken to the dealer. Consumer stated dealer pulled the codes off the vehicle showing only what parts needed to be replaced.
The following warning messages all poped-up at the same time while driving the vehicle on a city street: brake system problem; brake hold system problem; anti-lock brake system problem; vihicle stability assist problem; hill start assist problem; lane keeping assist problem; power steering system problem; hill start assist problem; forward collission warning problem; lane departure assist problem; the message keep rotating while driving the vehicle and the associated dashboard light remains on. I suspect this might be related to acura service bulletin 15-050, but I have not confirmed this yet.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 acura tlx. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, another vehicle was passing on the left lane, when the front driver side wheel seized without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle lost control briefly. The contact stated that the vehicle lane departure system was activated two days prior. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, hopkins acura of fairfield 2459 auto mall pkwy, fairfield, ca 94533, where the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle began to violently shake. The failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that they had not heard of the failure occurring before. The failure mileage was approximately 8,100.
New car purchased in 2015. Currently has about 23k miles. Error lights flash on dash including "transmission system problems, blind spot info system problems, vehicle stability assist problem, all wheel steering problem, forward collision warning problem, lane departure waring problem". This is the third time that it has happened. First time, no video evidence of it but we did take it in to acura to look. No issue found. Second time we had a video, they did a software upgrade. Now again. Along with this, car had a transmission replaced, steering rack and pinion, sub frame, power steering assembly, list goes on.
I was accelerating from 40 MPH to 50 MPH when the car suddenly stopped accelerating, beeped, and started flashing all system errors in orange on the dash display. The car would not go above 50 MPH, as if the gas was being choked off at that point. Car was towed to dealer. They had the car for a week before it was "fixed". The exact same error just occurred for a second time while I was accelerating and merging into a busy highway lane. Car is again at the dealer for almost a week and counting. While it hasn't caused an accident yet, this is extremely dangerous. I was nearly rear-ended when my car stopped accelerating and started decelerating on a busy highway. In between these occurrences, I have had other random errors, such as the lane departure warning system activating while driving straight down the center of a lane. When this occurs, the steering wheel is "tugged" towards the direction it thinks it needs you to go. Very dangerous when the car is trying to tug you out of your lane into another. The random errors that occur are all with the same systems that flash error warnings all over the dash on the two occasions that the car has stopped functioning properly. Ldw, acc, braking system, vsc...all important safety systems!
