2015 Acura Ilx problems
The Acura ILX is a compact car (C-segment) manufactured and marketed by Honda under the Acura brand, based on the ninth-generation Civic sedan. The ILX replaced the Canadian market exclusive Acura CSX. The gasoline-electric hybrid version was Acura's first.
Overview
The concept version was unveiled at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, the production version was presented in the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The ILX introduces a new design that Acura calls "aero-fused dynamics". Mass production commenced on April 23 at Honda's assembly facility in Greensburg, Indiana and U.S. sales began on May 22.
The ILX's body in white uses 59% high strength steel ranging from 440-980 MPa yield strength grades, aluminum is used for the hood and front bumper beam. Compared to the Civic, the ILX uses Acura's "Amplitude Reactive" dampers and a larger more rigid steering shaft for improved handling and ride quality characteristics.
Options are grouped into Premium and Technology packages and include leather upholstery, 17" alloy wheels, navigation system, premium audio system with SiriusXM satellite radio, and high intensity discharge headlamps. Both option packages include a multi-view rear backup camera with regular, wide-angle, and top-down modes.
For the 2014 model year the ILX came standard with 17-inch wheels, leather interior, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver's seat, tri-angle backup camera and audio subwoofer with Active Noise Cancellation.
For the 2015 model year, the ILX Hybrid was discontinued due to slow sales. Through May of 2014, only 2,660 Hybrid units were sold since its introduction.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-10
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: 19VDE1F30FE
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Takata front passenger side ceiling airbag and front passenger seat airbag deployed without impact or collision after I left my garage and drove less than a quarter of a mile. There was an excessive heat warning and higher-than-average humidity. I suffered auditory injuries due to the high-decibel explosion the Takata airbags produced in the sealed cab of my car. My insurance has ruled my vehicle a total loss (with no fault of my own). Still, I have yet to accept the insurance's total loss offer, and I wanted to provide an opportunity for further inspection of the Takata airbag system to help this ongoing crisis further. Two Acura representatives called after I registered my airbag deployment on Honda's website. The first representative treated me, "I can have you arrested." during our phone conversation on July 12th, 2023. The second representative requested that I turn over my vehicle to Acura "So we can do our internal investigation." I declined, and his rebuttal was to take my car from the bank since there was a lien on it. I replied that my vehicle has no lien; it's paid in full. My insurance company initially told me they were going to inspect the vehicle. However, I was offered a total loss settlement within 48 hours. I've requested an inspection report multiple times for the cause, but my insurance company has not provided me with anything other than a total loss, with "no fault of my own report." There were no warning lamps, messages, or anything to alert me before the faulty deployment of the airbags. No passenger was seated in the passenger seat at the time of this incident.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2016-05-13
- VIN: 19VDE1F37FE
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: WAS TOLD BY MY AURA DEALER THAT MY VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN MAY 2016. IT HAS BEEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE SINCE THAT TIME, AWAITING PARTS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAG. I LEASED THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2014, AND WAS NOT TOLD OF THE RECALL UNTIL MAY 2016, NOR WAS I TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD A TAKATA AIRBAG WHEN I ENTERED INTO THE LEASE. FOR A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS, ANYONE OF MY FAMILY DRIVING THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ENDANGERED IF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. I REQUESTED A MORATORIUM ON LEASE PAYMENTS FROM ACURA LEASING, UNTIL THE CAR WAS DRIVEABLE, WHICH THEY REFUSED TO DO. I ASKED THE DEALER, NAPLETON ACURA TO SWAP OUT THE CAR/LEASE FOR ANOTHER CAR/LEASE WITHOUT THE AIRBAG PROBLEMS, WHICH THEY WOULD NOT DO WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT MONETARY PENALTY. THE TAKATA AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM DATING BACK TO 2001 FOR HONDAS, AND 2003 FOR ACURAS SO THIS IS A LONG STANDING ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR AGENCY ALLOWS ACURA & HONDA TO CONTINUE TO SELL VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS ESPECIALLY IN HIGH HUMIDITY LOCALES SUCH AS FLORIDA, WHERE I LIVE. YOUR AGENCY SEEMS TO BE PROTECTING THE CAR MANUFACTURERS AND RELATED DEALERS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PUBLIC THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING. IRONICALLY AN AIRBAG IS A SAFETY COMPONENT, NOT ONE THAT EXPOSES THE DRIVER TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. AT THIS POINT, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THE CAR BACK TO ACURA, AND TERMINATE THE LEASE WITHOUT PENALTY.

I THINK I SHOULD AT LEAST GET REIMBURSE FOR MY CAR NOTE ATE LEAST HALF. I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR FOR ME NOT HAVING MY LUXURY CAR TO DRIVE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO ENJOY MY CAR HAVEN'T EVEN DRIVEN MY CAR FOR 6 MONTHS GOT MY CAR IN LATE OCT 2015 & FEB RECALL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

2015 Acura Ilx recalls
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued 4 recalls for different components of the 2015 Acura Ilx.
- Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
- Components: POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
- Summary: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Acura ILX, 2013 Acura ILX Hybrid, 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid, and 2007-2008 Honda Fit vehicles with a manual transmission and 2009-2013 Honda Fit vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The drive shafts' protective coating may not have been applied properly during manufacturing, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt, or other contaminants, and potentially cause it to break.
- Consequence: A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing either the left or right drive shaft, if necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk with an interim letter mailed February 2, 2021. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are P9M, PAV, BAY, TAX, CA0, and MAZ.
- Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
- Components: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
- Summary: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling specific 2003 Acura 3.2CL, 2013-2016 ILX, 2013-2014 ILX Hybrid, 2003-2006 MDX, 2007-2016 RDX, 2002-2003 3.2TL, 2004-2006, and 2009-2014 TL, 2010-2013 ZDX and 2001-2007 and 2009 Honda Accord, 2001-2005 Civic, 2003-2005 Civic Hybrid, 2001-2005 Civic GX NGV, 2002-2007 and 2010-2011 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2007 Fit, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2008 Pilot, and 2006-2014 Ridgeline vehicles. The affected vehicles received a replacement driver air bag inflator as part of a previous Takata inflator recall remedy or a replacement driver air bag module containing the same inflator type as a service part. Due to a manufacturing error, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver frontal air bag, these inflators may explode.
- Consequence: An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag inflator with an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began April 10, 2019.

- Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
- Components: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
- Summary: Acura (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Acura ILX vehicles. The vehicles may have a deformed fuel tank, raising the height of the fuel pump and allowing the fuel level float to stick, possibly causing the fuel gauge to display an inaccurate fuel level.
- Consequence: If the fuel gauge displays that the vehicle has more gas than it actually does, the vehicle may run out of gas and stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy: Acura will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the fuel tank, free of charge. The recall began March 14, 2019. Owners may contact Acura customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Acura's number for this recall is H3U, Z3T.

Negative 2015 Acura Ilx car reviews
Positive 2015 Acura Ilx car reviews

I absolutely love driving this car more and more each day! Like many others, I was initially worried about missing the turbo, but this car offers the perfect combination of economy, luxury, reliability, and good looks at a price that makes me feel great. It feels incredibly sporty, smooth, and responsive, and I can honestly say that I haven't missed the extra horsepower. I'm surprised that it doesn't get better reviews because it's truly amazing. I have the Tech package, and I'm in love with the Bluetooth, navigation, and sound system. Even with considerable city driving, I rarely get less than 30 mpg. When I give it gas, it has a healthy rev, and it cruises very comfortably at 70-80mph. Passing is never a problem.
-
It's so great to hear that you found the perfect car after spending months searching with your dad! The sleek exterior design and soft leather interior sound amazing, and it's fantastic that you now have navigation and a backup camera to make driving even easier. I understand that it would be even better if the car had blind spot monitors and memory seating, but overall it sounds like you're really happy with your birthday present. It's also great to hear that the car is a real money saver when it comes to gas. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
-
You must have grown up with a 6 speed! The smooth shifting transmission and soft touches all over make for a really comfortable ride. And have you seen the smart phone integration? It's incredible!
-
I love my ILX Hybrid. It has been extremely reliable, providing a great ride and even better gas mileage (more than advertised, even when driving in sport mode). I have had no mechanical failures and have already driven it for 97k miles. The Dolby surround sound is a great feature that I love. Overall, it is a great car and brings me joy to own!
-
My family has had a few Acuras and we have always loved them. From an MDX with over 200,000 miles to brand new RLs, they have been a great ride with a sleek look. They also have great gas mileage and are relatively inexpensive to maintain compared to other cars in this class.

Paxton Cartwright 2024-07-04
I recently helped my Grandma purchase a CPO 2013 ILX w/ Tech package. She had specific requirements such as a backup camera, leather seats, and navigation, and the Acura ILX was the only car that met her needs within her budget. I have driven this car quite a bit and have a good sense of its capabilities. Although it is marketed as an Acura, it does not feel like one. My dad owns a 2009 TSX, and the materials, comfort, suspension, and performance of the ILX do not compare to those of any Acura. When the ILX first came out, many forum discussions revealed that it is essentially a Civic in disguise that requires premium fuel, and I can confirm this. While most built-in navigations are subpar, I was disappointed with the ILX's system. Additionally, the backup camera is not up to par, especially for a 2013

The transmission hums all the time, but don't worry, Acura claims that it's a normal characteristic of the car.
