2011 Acura TSX owner complaints

On 11/19/19 my car was parked at a grocery store. When I got in to start it I got a flashing message regarding the electric power steering: 51. I couldn't really move the steering wheel and thankfully I was not driving. I had to had the car towed home. Upon looking into this I can see this has happened to a lot of people. The same year, make and model within the same mileage range as me. I have a 2011 Acura tsx with 75,000 miles. There is no reason this should be happening, I have had every required maintenance. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. Acura needs to do the right thing and recall this so they can fix it. Why would anyone owing this car ever buy another Acura knowing that with no fault of their own this can happen to them. Needless to say I have an appointment on 01/

My car has approximately 75,000 miles. I was driving in a parking lot and and indicator came on stating "check power steering." the steering wheel locked up and became almost impossible to turn. I turned the car off and went on my way, hoping it was a temporary problem. The problem went away the next time I turned on my car. But 3 days later, the var did the same thing when I was driving in a parking lot. This time, it never went away. The car could not be driven, and was towed to my mechanic. My mechanic noticed that the power steering system frequently failed on 2011 Acura tsx's. When I searched for "2011 Acura tsx steering failure," I also noticed that this problem has happened frequently and has caused a number of accidents--the power steering has failed while people were d

While driving and almost ending up in a accident to where I could injury myself or someone else my car immediately said check power steering and the steering wheel locked as well then the dealership chargers 1500.00 just not safe and over priced repair to something that gives you know warning.

Check power steering system warning light came on after being parked for 9 hours in a parking deck at work. As I was getting off work I placed my key in the ignition and that's when the light appeared. I took the key out and let the car sit for a while about 20 minutes and started the car again,but it did the same thing.

The steering went out in my car when I was driving on the interstate. My car is 6 years old with 100,000 miles and I had to replace the steering module for $1300. This seems odd to me for this to happen in a newer car.

Got my eps system replaced about 1 years ago paid 1300 to fix now it seems to be a known issue recently my steering gets hard some days and other days its smooth dont know what to do I cant afford another 1300 for something that is know to be failing

Steering system fails intermittently. Eps warning light comes on and the car becomes uncontrollable in the highway and very hard to maneuver in the parking lot. This is extremely scary situation. I was glad I was able to exit the freeway and stop the car at a safe location. Electronic power steering module (eps) is failing.

My "check power steering" light came on while my car was moving 5mph through a parking garage. Instantly my wheel became very hard to move. After parking and turning the car off/on the problem resolved itself. 5 days later I was traveling down a residential road the eps failed again. The dealership quoted me $2000 in repairs, and Acura said there was no warranty or campaign coverage for the costs. Between the 2011 and 2012 model years there are 60+ complaints for low mileage failure of eps while driving. This problem should be subject to investigation and safety recall.

Takata recall - called several dealers, no parts available to order, no time line given, no rental car provided, was instructed not to drive with passengers. Absolutely ridiculous!

At only 40,000 miles, my 2011 Acura tsx has vtec actuator failure. It started to show signs of this over the last 5,000 - 10,000 miles or so and has become increasingly worse. I hear a grinding noise whenever I start my vehicle first thing in the morning. My local Acura dealer has done a diagnostic and has confirmed the actuator failure. Honda who also owns Acura, has been aware of this issue since approximately 2008. It is affecting a very large portion of vehicles with a Honda vtec engine. They have done nothing to fix this issue and it is affecting brand new vehicles as well. Now, they want to pass along the cost of repairs to me even though I should not be experiencing these kinds of problems at only 40,000 miles. I am still waiting for documentation from my dealer that confirms

Vehicle is experiencing a high oil consumption issue. Every 1000 miles it's required one quart of oil to be added to the oil filler. Acura has a warranty extension for this know issue to 8 years or 125,000 miles from the original date of service, whichever comes first. My vehicle was noticed to have this problem at 83,000 miles and just under 9 years of service. Acura customer relations was contacted but refused to service my vehicle due to lack of service at their dealership even though I have records of making my synthetic oil changes and other repairs at an independent mechanic shop.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 Acura tsx. When the vehicle was started, the brake pedal was difficult to depress. After the vehicle was warmed up, the brake pedal was able to be depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,400. Updated 02/07/2017*ct *cn

VSA MODULATOR failed, breaks suddenly goes all the way down will not stop, this is suddenly happened while on the road.

First seat leather on back busted on both front seats as well as the leather on driver's door rest. I have had motor issues, leather on door panel pucked. Aura dealership fixed the motor and , one of the busted seat and the door panel. The drive seat busted in 2013, passenger 2016 and the driver's 2015. I've never owner and car with some many issues.

While driving on highway driver side windshield trim panel flew off into traffic causing a car to swerve at highway speed. Included with the genuine Acura replacement part (# 73162-tl2-305zd) was service bulletin # 09-030 which states that the glue needs to be replaced. I talked to Acura of Wappingers service and parts department and Acura of America regarding this issue. All parties denied replacing the glue on the clips. Some of the clips are very out of place due to what I believe is the glue softening in the sun. I truly believe this is a safety hazard because of the potential of this panel hits a pedestrian or car and creating an accident with potential injury or death. Car has been in 0 accidents. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
