2007 ACURA TSX Problems & Complaints

The contact owns a 2007 Acura TSX. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the power steering fluid hose was leaking. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V174000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a fee would be charged for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,250.

Power steering rack and pinion leaked and was replaced with an Acura remanufactured part. A few years later it is leaking again.

Power steering makes an extreme screeching sound and Honda Dealership in Eau Claire, WI, says they cannot perform the recalls, and that I have to go to Acura, which is 2 hours away from me and cannot get there. I feel that Honda in eau claire should be able to do it.

BOOT FOR RACK AND PINION STARTED LEAKING FLUID IN THE DRIVEWAY AND HAD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY

AFTER GETTING OFF WORK MY CAR SITTING FOR ABOUT 8 HOURS, ON MY COMMUTE HOME WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 6-8 MINUTES (CITY STREETS) MY STEERING BECAME VERY HEAVY AND DIFFICULT. THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE FUNNY SOUNDS UNDER THE HOOD. ONCE I ARRIVED HOME I NOTICE A TRAIL OF FLUID LEAKAGE SO I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND IT WAS TAPPED DRY, ABSOLUTELY NO FLUID. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SIDE BOOT HAD A LEAK DUE TO THE SEAL. THIS WAS NOT AN INEXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

IMMOBILIZER GREEN KEY LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE BEEN TROUBLESHOOTING AND FOUND CORROSION IN THE PCM/ECM CONTROL UNIT THAT IS UNDER THE CENTER COUNSEL. SALT-WATER SOAKED THE CARPETING AND THAT CORRODED THE FRAME OF THE UNIT AND GOT INSIDE AND ONTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD. I CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND THERE IS ONE FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR. IT ASKED FOR THE VIN # AND IT CAME BACK TELLING ME IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY QUESTION IS WHY OTHER VIN# IS COVERED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MINE IS NOT. CORROSION IS CORROSION AND THE CAUSE IS A SALTWATER SOAKED CARPETING NEXT TO THE DRIVERS GAS PEDAL. CAR WAS STATIONARY, PRIVATE DRIVE AND CITY STREET PLEASE EXPLAIN.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WASN'T SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO WARRANT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT HOWEVER SINCE THEN THERE HAS BEEN A 'CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM' ICON ON MY DISPLAY EVER SINCE! I CAN'T RENEW MY LYFT DRIVERS ACCOUNT UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED WHICH IS CAUSING AN UNDUE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS PART OF A SECOND WAVE OF RECALLS TO COME REGARDING AIRBAGS. FURTHERMORE, LATELY I'VE BEEN CONTEMPLATING WHAT AN OFFICER AT THE SCENE TOLD ME, WHICH WAS I PUKE BE DEAD AFTER RUNNING DIRECTLY INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT A RELATIVELY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I'M HAPPY TO BE ALIVE BUT AM CURIOUS AS TO HOW AN ACCIDENT OF THIS MAGNITUDE; AN ACCIDENT THAT NEARLY DEMOLISHED MY ACURA AS IS ILLUSTRATED IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO, DIDN'T PROMPT DEPLOYMENT OF MY AIRBAGS? NOW I'M LEFT WITH THIS RIDICULOUS 'CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM' MESSAGE WHICH SERVES AS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF THEIR FAILURE AND AS DESCRIBED ABOVE IS COSTING ME. *DSY

THE CAR HAD NOT GIVEN ME ANY WARNING OR NOTHING. DRIVING FINE DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONE DAY GOING ABOUT 45 MPH, I GO TO MAKE A TURN AND ITS HARD AS HELL. MY CAR STARTS SOUNDING ALL CRAZY AND IM STRUGGLING TO TURN THE WHEEL. I PULL OVER AND ALL MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS GONE, LEAKED OUT! NOW I HAVE READ REPORT AFTER REPORT OF THIS HAPPENING. OVER AND OVER FOR THIS SAME YEAR AND TYPE OF CAR. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?????!!!!! THE BOOT JUST BUSTED. AND ITS GONNA COST ME WAY MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION! *TR

TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY IN LOS ANGELES. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE DRY. NO ISSUE REGARDING VISIBILITY. FRONT VEHICLE STOPPED. APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP, BUT ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES TO GRIND AND VEHICLE TO GLIDE, RATHER THAN ABRUPTLY STOP, RESULTING IN A REAR-END COLLISION. AIRBAGS DID NOT ACTIVATE. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE FRONT END OF THE ACURA, SPECIFICALLY THE GRILL AND HEADLIGHTS CAUSING SIDE-BAR DAMAGE (ESTIMATE INDICATES $5,000+ DAMAGE). MINOR DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE REAR BUMPER OF THE REAR-ENDED VEHICLE (ESTIMATE INDICATES $1200). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 ACURA TSX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST MODULE HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2007 ACURA TSX AUTOMATIC AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN START TO MOVE AGAIN. ACURA HAS STATED THAT ALL OF THEIR TRANSMISSIONS MAKE THIS CLICKING NOISE ALL THE TIME, HOWEVER IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS TO DO THIS AND NO OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED MAKES THIS NOISE. I'VE ALSO DONE MY RESEARCH AND ALL ACURA TSX AUTOMATIC OWNERS FROM THE 04-08 MODEL YEARS EXPERIENCE THIS CLICKING PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A BAD SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND BUSHING. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD ACURA FIX THE PROBLEM ONLY FOR IT TO COME BACK IN 10K - 20K MILES. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO A RECALL FOR THIS. I AM SURE IT COULD LEAD TO MORE ISSUES WITH THE CAR FURTHER ON. *TR
