What 2011 Acura TSX owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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.
Takata recall I was contacted several weeks ago because of a complaint against jay wolfe acura. I was given case # 05984005 and told I would be contacted very soon. I have never heard from acura re airbag recall repair.
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!
Airbag recall: still not remedied/ parts not available after initial notification in july 2016- I'm supposed to not allow front seat passengers in my vehicle for over 6 months?
