Common Acura Tsx problems
The Acura TSX is a luxury midsize car known for its dependability, but it still has some common problems that owners have reported. Here are some of the most common issues based on model years:
- Faulty Tire Pressure Sensor (2012 Model Year): Some 2012 Acura TSX owners have reported problems with the tire pressure sensor, where the low tire warning light activates despite the tire pressure being accurate. Replacing the faulty tire pressure sensors with new ones is a common fix for this problem.
- Engine Problems (2010 Model Year): Some 2010 Acura TSX owners have complained about a variety of engine problems, especially during winter when the engine becomes colder than usual. Affected vehicles may refuse to turn on at cold starts, produce rattling noises, and need a jump start to get going. Once owners brought their car to the dealer, they were told the noise was caused by a bad VTC actuator. Replacing the failed actuator is a common fix for this issue.
- Excessive Oil Consumption (2009 Model Year): Some 2009 Acura TSX owners have reported problems with excessive oil consumption. Affected vehicles may have their check oil and engine light activated often, signaling a need to get their car’s engine oil checked or refilled. Some drivers report burning as much as a quart and a half of oil every 1,000 miles. Although there have been no recalls to address this issue, some Acura dealerships may cover repairs related to excessive engine oil consumption.
- Brake Problems: While not specific to any model year, brake problems are a common issue in the Acura TSX. Some owners have reported issues with the brake system, including brake pedal pulsation, brake noise, and brake rotor warping. These issues may require replacing the brake rotors, brake pads, or other brake components.
These are some of the most common problems reported by Acura TSX owners. If you're considering purchasing a used Acura TSX, it's essential to be aware of these issues and consider them when making your decision. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent these problems or catch them early before they become more severe and expensive to fix.
Is the Acura TSX a reliable car?
The Acura TSX enjoys excellent reliability ratings, with some of its model years scoring better than others. RepairPal gave it a rating of 4.5 out of 5.0, ranking it 2nd out of the 31 luxury midsize cars in its category.
Which Acura TSX to avoid?
Although there are a few years that stand out as excellent, there are some Acura TSX years to avoid. We recommend staying away from 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2012 models. The biggest issue that appeared with these models was engine problems and transmission failure.
Why did Acura discontinue the TSX?
Another key point, the TSX was a popular car among consumers, but it was not as profitable for Acura as the TLX. Hence, Acura decided to discontinue the TSX in order to focus on its more profitable models.

I’ve used OBD scanner to find the root cause but the problem can’t be detected. I went to Acura dealer in NJ and paid $250. They inspected, and said it could be this Instrument cluster or that ECu. But they did not said anything concrete what could be faulty. Both are expensive to replace around $2000-$4000 each The lights comes and goes. These lights are not persistent. I’ve been driving with it. Sometimes when the lights are on AC DOESNT WORK, steering loses control for a second. When it loses control car swerves. It’s dangerous but I’ve been driving with caution ️ In past, electric power steering was malfunction and I had it replaced for $1500. I will never purchase Acura or Honda for lifetime It should be recalled

- Date Complaint: 2023-09-10
- VIN: JH4CL96968C
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: 1. The rack and pinion steering rack is leaking power steering hydraulic fluid. The power assist is not working and the vehicle is undrivable. Putting in new fluid does not help as it just drains out from he pinion within half a day. 2. Luckily, the seals on the rack and pinion failed in the community as low speeds and power steering was lost. Drove back home. No one was hurt. Afraid to think of what would have happened if this had occurred at highway speeds. 3. Not yet confirmed by dealer as car needs towing, which costs money as closest dealer is quiet far away. But many reports of similar incidents across online communities for this vehicle, where folks had to shell out thousands to replace the entire rack and pinion system. The seals are sealed inside and cannot be serviced. 4. Component has not been removed from the car yet or inspected by anyone. Yet to be removed for replacement 5. There were no warning lights, sounds or indications of any kind. No warning of loss of hydraulic pressure or air in system. Just a weird whining noise began when negotiating a slow speed turn and within a minute, all fluid drained and all power assist was lost.

Vehicle year: 2011
I replaced my '08 TSX with the '10 TSX about 8 months and 8800 miles ago. I have found that the new model feels larger, more comfortable, and more expensive than the previous one. However, the comfort comes at the expense of the lively, responsive steering that made the Gen 1 TSX such a pleasure to drive. Although some people complain about the lack of 4cyl power, I have never found that to be an issue. Overall, I still believe that it is an excellent value as an entry-level sports/luxury sedan.

Vehicle year: 2005
This is a really nice car that not only gets you from A to B in style, but also in a hurry. The interior styling is really nice and the leather is really soft. The seats give you oodles of support. It's a great car for the growing family. The performance is as expected, handling really smooth and hugging corners well with the VSA. The dash lighting is exceptional, but a little overpowering at night in full bright. The navigation system is the most intelligent one out there that I have seen. Not only do you get navi, but you also get the trip computer (with memory), calendar/event planner, and other goodies that may not be mentioned. I would definitely buy an Acura anytime.

Vehicle year: 2012
What a fantastic car! It's amazing that your car has over 200,000 miles and has never had a single issue. You previously owned a 2009 MDX, which your parents now own, and it too has never had an issue. The reliability of these cars is truly impressive! Even to this day, your car still feels solid without any hint of an approaching problem. Although you can't purchase this car new anymore, it's a great option if you want a used luxury car without paying an arm and a leg for maintenance. Overall, your experience with this car has been great, and it's no wonder why you'll probably never buy another brand.

Hey there! I've had this car for 3 years now and I've only needed to do routine maintenance on it - just a new battery, tires, and oil changes.

Vehicle year: 2009
I recently purchased a certified pre-owned '09 TSX. The TSX handles like a 3-series but provides a lot more value. With 'S' mode on in the Auto, this car feels like a different vehicle. You're consistently revving higher and pushing that VTEC more. Critics give the TSX a hard time for its lack of power, but it's a pretty quick little car. Turn on 'S' mode and pass a semi-truck on the highway, and you'll see just how fast this car can be. The only downside is that the Hands Free Link audio commands are still weak. I think I may have already blown a speaker, and this seems to be a common issue as the speakers are a bit subpar. Other than that, it's a great car!
Are you having problems with your Acura Tsx?

The car drives great, but unfortunately, the paint quality is not up to par. Acura has not been able to provide adequate support for this issue. If you are considering purchasing a red car, I would advise against it, as the paint may turn pink over time. Additionally, it is important to note that this car requires premium fuel, which can be more expensive than regular fuel. Overall, owning this car may be more costly than owning a Honda.
Keven Treutel 2025-03-25

This vehicle has been back to the dealership multiple times for service, with issues such as noises, rattles, loose parts, and defective seat brackets. The door trim also experiences noises, creeks, and vibrations/rattles, which may indicate a design defect in the TSX design. Despite seven attempts, the problems have not been corrected, and the seats are wearing prematurely. It is disappointing to see a decline in Japanese quality. However, we can hope that Honda/Acura will take steps to improve their quality control processes.
Marquis West 2025-03-17

Although I was initially impressed by the price/value of this car, I have unfortunately experienced numerous issues with it, including problems with the brakes, AC, stereo, and console lights. It appears that the car was not designed with affordability in mind when it comes to servicing. As a result, the total cost of ownership has been comparable to more expensive cars that I had considered, which come with better warranties. In hindsight, I should have opted for a BMW.
Vince Kozey 2025-02-23
Vehicle year: 2004
In August 2015, I purchased a 2004 Acura TSX with 88,000 miles on it from Paragon Acura in Queens NY. Unfortunately, I have had a few issues with the car since then, including replacing/reparing various parts and performing scheduled maintenance. Recently, I have been experiencing some issues with the Center Stack Lights/HVAC not working, which is disappointing. However, I am hopeful that I can find a solution to this problem. Despite these challenges, I am grateful for the opportunity to have driven a brand new TLX for 4 days while my car was being looked at. Although I have had some difficulties with my Acura, I still believe that it is a great car and I am proud to own it. I appreciate any assistance that Acura can provide and I am confident that we can find a solution together.I've been reading through numerous forums over the past month regarding the center stack lights/HVAC lights not functioning, which seems to be a common issue caused by a faulty PCB (Printed Circuit Board) that has unfortunately been discontinued. It's possible that the PCB was discontinued due to people attempting to repair it themselves for a lower cost. It's disappointing that Honda & Acura owners show so much loyalty to the brand, yet the company doesn't reciprocate that support. While this car can be expensive to maintain, it's unfortunate that Acura hasn't issued a recall for a known and persistent issue. I would recommend considering other options instead of Acura.
Loyal Mosciski 2025-02-23

I've owned two new Acuras so far, and while I enjoyed my previous one for 9 years, my current 06 TSX has been a bit of a disappointment. While the performance, looks, and features are good, I've experienced a multitude of rattles and squeaks in the interior within just 6 months of owning it. Additionally, the wiper system on the driver's side has been ineffective, with fluid dribbling onto the windshield and the wipers smudging and smearing instead of clearing it properly. These quality issues have been surprising and distracting from the overall driving experience.
