I have a 2004 acura tsx I purchased from the original owner back on may of 2018 with 55000 original miles. The car runs like new it was well taken care of with the original owner all services and inspections were up to date as/ carfax report. The car since I've owned I put 19000 miles with all service and inspections up to date so the vehicle has now 74000 miles. 3 weeks ago the automatic transmission started to shift rough. The fluids and filter were replaced at 60000 miles so its not the fluid thats dirty. I took it to 3 different mechanics including my state inspection mechanic and they told me the transmission needs to be replaced because it's starting to go bad. I was also told these transmissions came faulty in a lot of honda cars and honda was to replace them at no cost. My question is if my car falls into this warranty issue because I know the year of car is old but the car looks and runs like new. Please let me know what can be done to solve this matter maybe there is a recall that I'm not aware of and maybe it can be repaired thru the manufacturer since this is a very expensive and costly issue to take care of on my own. I can be reached at [xxx] if you need further information thank you. [xxx] (owner) information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I own a 2004 acura tsx. My AC blew out on me when I was driving home from work. I only had around 60,000 miles at that time. The dealer wanted to change the whole AC unit. Compressor, hoses, condenser, and flush the system out. They know about the AC failure as many acura tsx were reported with this problem and not offering any recall on it. It's an expensive repair to fix. They quoted me $3,000.00 for the full repair.

Acura tsx manual transmission failed at 56k. The problem caused a loud knocking noise coming from the transmission case while in gear. Noise goes away when clutch is pressed in. I am 6k over my warranty and the deal is still going to cover the replacement of a new transmission which they quoted at $4500.00 to replace. I will be responsible for covering the cost of the clutch $400. I read one other instance where the same problem happened with a tsx owner.

On my way to work, I started hearing a noise in the drivetrain. I checked the car over the next morning and took it to the dealership. They're telling me the carrier bearings and differential bearings are worn out in the manual transmission -- after only 54k miles?! They're not covering it under warranty. I'm being told it is not a "warranty item.
