2004 Acura Tsx

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 ACURA TSX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT AND POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V093000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

IT WAS 930 AT NIGHT I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME TO DROP OFF GOING ON VACATION ..MY CAR STARTED STALLING OUT AND ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT.. AS I BRAKE MY CAR JUMPED 3 TO 5 FEET.. IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKES SURGED .. LIGHTS FLASHING .. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF I WOULD OF BEEN ON MY WAY TO WORK ON FREEWAY I COULD OF BEEN IN A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.. THE CAR DID NOT STOP WHEN APPLIED THE BRAKE INSTEAD IT ACTED LIKE I WAS PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR... I HAD TO SHUT CAR OUT PUT IN NEUTRAL AND HAVE IT PUSHED IN MY GARAGE TO PREVENT GOING THROUGH WALL... I NEVER HEARD OF A ALTERNATOR DOING THIS.. MY CAR WAS JUST AT DEALERSHIP APROX 3 WKS BEFORE THAT FOR A RECALL .. (STALLING ) THEY SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED TO THAT... *TR

CENTER STACK LIGHTS OUT (RADIO, HEATER/AC UNIT) ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH MANY OTHER 2004 AND 2005 TSX OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH ACURA HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN, AND SUPPOSEDLY INCREASED WARRANTY PERIOD TO 100K OR 7 YEARS, THERE WAS NO NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS. MY 2004 TSX BEGUN EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM AT 120K SO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULDN'T HAVE HELPED CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AFTER 100K MILES. *TR

INTERIOR LIGHTING FOR RADIO AND TEMP CONTROL AND CLOCK SOME TIME THE WHOLE PANEL GOES OFF BUT CONTROL LIGHTS FOR THE TEMPERATURE AND THE RADIO BUTTON LIGHTS HAVE NEVER CAME BACK ON SINCE THEY WENT OFF A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS A RECALL FOR THIS CAR BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX IT OR ACKNOWLEDGE A RECALL THIS COULD EASILY BE A SAFETY ISSUE WILL DRIVING AT NIGHT AND IS VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR

THE CONSOLE LIGHTS (LIGHTS IN THE CENTER) WENT OUT IN 2009, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS YOU NEED TO ATTEMPT TO READ THE CONTROLS VIA THE OVERHEAD LIGHT WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A HUGE DISTRACTION. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $150 JUST TO DIAGNOSIS IT. RECENTLY WE LEARNED THAT ACURA EXTENDED WARRANTY SOME YEARS BACK TO FIX IT HOWEVER WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED (WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS). NOW WE HAVE PASSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME (7 YEARS). WE FEEL IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THE ISSUE BY ACURA AND THAT AS SUCH ACURA SHOULD STILL BE LIABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR

CENTRE STACK LIGHTS OUT (RADIO, HEATER/AC UNIT) ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH MANY OTHER 2004 AND 2005 TSX OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE PRINTED CIRCUT BOARD. ALTHOUGH ACURA HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN, AND SUPPOSEDLY INCREASED WARRENTY PERIOD FTO 100K OR 7 YEARS, THERE WAS NO NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS. MY 2004 TSX BEGUN EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM AT 123K, SO I'M OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WILL MOST LIKLY HAVE TO FORK OVER $2,400 TO HAVE THE CENTER STACK REPLACED. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND FORCE ACURA TO REPLACE FOR FREE AS THE PROBELM APPEARS TO PRESENT ITSELF SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR
