CAR JERKS, SLIPS AND HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. ALREADY TAKEN TO DEALER TO LOOK AT, WAS TOLD IT'S BECAUSE CAR WAS IN "BREAK-IN" PERIOD, HOWEVER NOW THAT IT HAS 1K MILES, ISSUES ARE STILL OCCURRING. I'VE SEEN REPORTS OF THE TLX WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND SAME 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHERE ACURA HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR A FIX. WHEN I MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALER, THEY ACTED AS IF THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

Hello, I recently bought this used car. Its a 2017 Acura ILX with fairly low miles ( 85k ). After the 2nd night of having it, the alarm started going off in the middle of the night and all the lights were flickering in the dashboard. The car wouldn't start so I had to jump it in the morning. It did jump and I drove it to the local store for a battery test. The battery was fine. I thought the issue was resolved until it happened again and again. I began to notice a pattern that it was happening when the car wasn't driven for a few days at a time. This means something in the car was constantly drawing power, even when off. After doing some investigation, it seems there is a parasitic draw happening. The following YouTube video shows similar issues on Honda / Acura models: [XXX] , Honda issued a Service Bulletin only for the 2017-2019 Ridegline: [XXX] , but this same Keyless Entry / TPMS module was used in Acura as well. I asked Honda to take a look at this Manufacturing defect, causing corrosion on the module because it wasnt properly coated at the factory. They said I would need to contact the NHTSA. I checked my module and sure enough, it has the same defect that the Acrua MDX has in the video above. One of the chips was not properly coated, allowing corrosion to build up and cause intermittent grounding. Honda knows about this and should have issued a recall for this module . See pictures attached with proof that the coating was not properly applied to one of the chips. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

225/40r18 tires has a splitting on side wall it’s impossible to see unless the split location on the ground I tried to talk to the manufacturer but they don’t have a way to connect them. I have replaced one tire it has same problem tire shop noticed it they said they can put it back on the car now I have the other side same issue

I have taken my vehicle into the repair shop several times to conclude that it might be my transmission. After finally taking into the right mechanic, I have found out that it is a fuel pump system issue. I know these are recalled for 2018 but this is something that they also stated 2017 Acura ILX have had issues with as well I’m having to come out of pocket $1300 to get this repair, it has stalled my vehicle. I’m not able to fully press the gas when pulling out in fear that I will not be able to complete the transfer that you guys may want to look into.

2017 Acura ILX - Bellanova White Pearl - the paint is peeling off! Please reference MC-10180642-0001, where the same issue was recalled for other colors The paint is peeling off and I'm very frustrated because they didn't include that color on their recall, where clearly the same problem is occurring.

My 2017 Acura ILX makes a loud clunk, and shifts extremely hard when coming or coasting to a stop. 1-2 gear seems to be the only time this issue arises. This issues creates startling reaction from the driver due to the loud clunk and force of the shift in gears, as well as loss of confidence in the vehicles ability to safely come stop without issues. Reproducing the issue is difficult because the issue usually occurs in traffic in 1-2 gears and test driving it around the block is not sufficient enough to experience hard shift/clunk. I was told it may be the rear differential bushing. Once they checked that, they were able to rule out the possible bushing issue. There are no codes being shown, and no other issues present before or clunk/jamming of the gears. This issue began 4-5 months after purchasing the vehicle from A Honda/Acura Dealer Washington in Dec 2020
