What owners say
The contact owns a 2016 Acura TLX. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle stalled. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and turned on the hazard lights. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to the residence. An independent mechanic had diagnosed the vehicle at the residence and informed the contact that the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 19V060000 (Fuel System, Other); however, the VIN was not included. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
My fuel pump I think is messed up. I had my dad and mechanic look at it. They say it is the fuel pump. The mechanic was in the car when it kept jolting every time I pressed the gas. I could have hit someone in front of me! It keeps doing if. There is a fuel pump recall for these cars, but they don’t want to include my car even though it is. I’m highly frustrated. Please help! I put a date when my mechanics told me something’s wrong, but it started way before that.
I was driving on the highway and turning and then all of a sudden these indicators came on which were the vsa, power steering, check engine light, and the brake system came one. Once these indicators came on the car started stalling and wouldn't go past 2 RPM and had lack of power. So we had to automatically stop and pull over to the side. Couple of cars were behind us as well and we could have crashed. We took about a month or so before we took it in to fresno acura and they said it was the fuel pump that's broken.
