I am having to put 2-3 quarts of oil in my vehicle once a month. I had taken my vehicle into the Acura dealership last year and they started that there was a recall on my vehicle for the exact issue that I'm having but my VIN wasn't included in the recall. The recall is for deposits building up in the engine which cause oil to be burned more during acceleration and the solution would be to replace the pistons on the engine and other various engine parts. Please reference recall information tsb #b13-006 NHTSA# 10152441
My car is consuming excessive amounts of oil, and Acura has told me this is normal. I have added three quarts since my last oil change, and Acura is doing nothing to remedy the problem. Even after issuing a warranty extension, and acknowledging that this is an issue, they refuse to fix it. This is completely unsafe, and bad business practice for a car I thought was going to be a reliable, long-lasting vehicle.
Experiencing high engine oil consumption. My 2009 Acura tsx is around 88k miles. Since around the 75k mile mark I have been experiencing higher than normal oil consumption rates. I regularly change my oil at the 3,000 mi mark and once had the auto shop ask me why I had waited so long to change my oil. I had explained to them that it was at the 3k mi mark and that I was right on time for my service. The auto shop had then gone on to explain to me that I had burned through more than 3qts of oil at that point. Consuming 1 or more quarts of oil per 1,000mi is not acceptable. So I think this experience is unique to me but come to find out Acura has issued a notice of a warranty extension to Acura owners experiencing this issue. After receiving a notice from Acura regarding high engine oil co

At 20,000 miles I was informed that I will need rear brake pads on my 2009 tsx. After I left the appointment, my brakes began squealing and grinding when stopping or slowing down. This seems premature and I would like an investigation. *tr

I have a 2009 Acura tsx and when the temperature drops into the single digits ( f) or we have a very cold overnight weather (I'm in western ny) I am experiencing brake issues. I'll start my car, it will run for a few minutes to warm up and I will leave my parking space. Driving about 5-15mph when I first press the brake pedal there is very, very, limited travel, then the pedal just stops (kind of feels like a brick underneath the pedal). I can tell the brakes are not doing anything to stop the car. So naturally my car will slow down to a stop. I press down on the brake pedal again and it's still stuck with very little travel. I'll pump the brakes as best I can a few times and eventually you can feel the pedal soften. I keep doing this as it progressively gets softer and eventually retur

Vehicle: 2009 Acura tsx w/tech package attempted to make a call via handsfree link. The audio system lowered sound in the normal manner. But instead of dead silence while waiting for voice command, this extremely loud and high pitched shrill-like tone was heard and volume could not be lowered. I turned the call 'off' and attempted to use handsfree link again, and same issue of high pitched tone was heard. I immediately drove to the nearest Acura dealership and pulled into service area. Repeated the steps in using the handsfree link for the service advisor and heard the same high pitched tone. He turned the car off and restarted engine. Again, same high pitched deafening tone. Since this incident occurred on a saturday afternoon, his suggestion of a replacement handsfree link modu

Bought car new may 2008, manual 6 speed. Have had many repairs:brakes x4, antenna, driver's seat molding, air bags, roof molding, front window molding. I still love driving car despite the car gulping quarts of oil and no source of oil loss has been determined. Began having difficulty shifting gears 09/2013. Took to troy Acura told clutch ok. Clutch failed completely about 3 weeks later on I-75, could not get out of 2nd gear. Replaced with Acura parts $1761 repair costs on 10/30/2013. Around june 2014, clutch would either depress rapidly or was very hard to depress at times. I attributed this to variable weather ( very hot alternating with damp rainy) since clutch not year old. Developed loud,rattling vibration in steering during acceleration on lane changes 10/2013. Told that both drive

Purchased vehicle new. After approximately 3 months of ownership complained that odometer was not correct. Further issues included replacement of wheel bearings twice and extreme oil consumption. Each time is was brought to the dealer the problems were ignored, determined to unduplicatible or I was told nothing was wrong. Currently I see that there are tsbs relating to the steering/bearing issue and the oil consumption issue. I repeatedly tried to no avail to have these problems fixed with the dealership and filed two complaints with Acura corporate customer relations and received no assistance. *tr
