I was driving about 50mph when the passenger airbag deployed. Then 10-15 seconds later the driver airbag deployed. I did not have any tire blowouts or hit any objects in the street. There were no pot holes or man holes in the street where my airbags deployed. My two year old nephew was in a child safety seat in the back seat and inhaled a substantial amount of the airbag smoke and was choking which caused him to vomit. His parents will be taking him to his pediatrician on december 23, 2013. The driver airbag hit me directly in the face which caused swelling around my nose, eyes and upper lip area. I felt light headed after the incident and the next day. I've also had a slight headache since the incident on december 21, 2013. I've contacted Acura corporate office as well as the dea

Intermittently the air bag light goes on when starting the car and stays on while driving. Since there hasn't been a recall on this yet, it would be very expensive to check this out and since it happens sometimes and not others, I was told it would be even more expensive to determine the reason and fix it. If this is a safety issue, Acura should address it before it causes accidents and injuries. *tr

I was driving north bound hwy 6 towards college station texas from houston, and the vehicle started to not engage while shifting and then the vehicle gave no power to the wheels ,but all soleniods seem to be in working order. After having the vehicle towed from hempstead where it was disabled ,and after doing some research there seems to be an issue with the same generation of Honda's with the same automatic transmission, but there is not a recall for their Acura counterparts. The recall id# 11v395000.

2005 cpo tsx has clutch slip issue at only 56k miles. We bought the car as a certified pre-owned vehicle and within 4 months, the clutch needs replacement. When we took delivery of the car, we immediately noticed the car's clutch was not grabbing hard in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear when trying to briskly accelerate. We notified the dealership and they're 'test drive' determined there was no problem with the car. We drove for 2 more months at which time, the clutch would slip when merging on the highway in 4th, 5th, and 6th gear. Dealesrship we purchased the vehicle from, elk grove Acura, is not taking any responsibility for the issue despite having documentation stating the clutch was slipping. They claim it's a wear item caused by us. The car will be going to another dealership

In june of 2012, I was traveling at approximately 60mph on a state highway when a loud grinding noise began coming from the engine. After a few moments the sound stopped and hot air began coming through my vents. I turned off my ac and pulled off the highway. This happened on a weekend and I took my car into the Acura dealership on monday. I was told that my ac compressor had disintegrated on the inside and sent metal shavings and shrapnel through the entire HVAC system. I had the compressor replaced with an aftermarket compressor to save money, the dealer flushed and dried all lines and components to remove any traces of metal and debris. The entire ordeal cost nearly $1,700. In august of 2013 my compressor once again disintegrated sending debris throughout my HVAC system. According to
The a/c system (mainly the a/c compressor, clutch, and stator) in my 2005 Acura tsx suddenly stopped working at 71,000 miles without any warning. I've researched this issue online and discovered that many 2004 and above model-year Acura tsx vehicles have this problem. Www.acurazine.com has many stories of owner dissatisfaction over the Acura tsx a/c system. My car was diagnosed by a professional technician at aamco, and he informed me that "these cars" (Acura tsx) are well-known to have faulty a/c systems and that there was a "dealer note" in his computer system suggesting that the car be taken to an Acura dealer. My car warranty has expired, and now I'm facing approximately $2000 in repairs because Acura has installed what is apparently known to be a faulty a/c system in their tsx mod
steering 2 complaints shown
I was almost involved in a collision while trying to make a left turn because the power steering failed out of no where locks up to the point it's impossible to turn the wheel. I read up online that the Acura tsx have rack and pinion issues. Acura should release a recall especially with the high volume this problem occurs and how dangerous it is. I'm terrified to even drive it. Because this isn't the first time this has happened. Somebody can get seriously hurt or killed if something isn't done about this issue poor quality from Acura.
2005 Acura tsx presented at dealer with prematurely-deteriorated power steering hose. Power steering fluid leaking on hot engine presents fire hazard, per dealer service manager. Hose was replaced under recall on tl and rl models, but not the tsx. *tr

Car begins braking while accelerating and starts sliding when braking on dry pavement. The other model from this year such as the mdx have a recall for the vsa system however the tsx does not. The mdx recall from 05 matched the same issues the 05 tsx has.
Front brake failure. Front brake rotors are warping to cause serve vibrations and very weak brakes. This had occurred before reaching 50,000 miles. Rotors and pads need to be replaced. I do not want to use original dealer replacement parts due to the fact it will just happen again. This is well know on internet and even my local inspection garage knows about it. Something needs to be done please. *tr
tires 1 complaint shown
Little tiny cracks have appeared on the sidewall of the tires near the rim, which I believe are created due to the tires being dry rotted. Does this mean the tires are too old when they were put on the car? The car dealership makes it sound like this is normal wear. *tr

Had just picked up my car from being repaired from an accident and was just driving along and I turned the seat heater on and I started seeing smoke coming from under me and was getting hot so I pulled over and found my seat was on fire ,I was 9 months pregnant at the time and feared for me and my soon to be child's life. I called the fire department where they put the fire out for me.I had it then sent to Acura to check it and they are telling me this is my fault and are charging me $319 for looking at it.I feel that this was a faulty part and is a danger to me, It is currently at the collision repair center which I took it back to and refuse to drive because I am very scared to drive it now. Seems to be a seat heater issue.

body 1 complaint shown
The rear bumper was discolored and the Acura dealership, sterling mccall Acura, advised me that it was my imagination. Later when the bumper pealed off and some of the original paint was showing through they had no choice but to fix the car. The claim at 4k miles there was a little fender bender, but I'm doubtful that is the truth. The rear doors don't close right and squeak as if its had a rear end collision. I complained to the bbb, Acura client services (no help) and sterling mccall themselves. They simply slapped on more paint and now its pealing again! *tr
