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.

- 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: 2008
I absolutely love my first Acura! From the moment I saw it online, I knew the metallic cool light blue was the perfect color for me. This car exudes class and sophistication. While some may say the engine is underpowered, I have no trouble accelerating faster than anyone around me - as long as you know how to hit the accelerator, which I've had plenty of time to master. While there are a few minor imperfections, such as the location of controls on the steering wheel and the door not always staying open in the half-open position, overall I am thrilled with my purchase. The only downside is that the changes made to the design in the 2009/10 models were a bit disappointing, as they took away from the beauty of the original design.

Just got my 1st Acura and I am absolutely impressed! I was considering staying in the Toyota family, but decided to give Acura a try and I am so glad I did. The interior and exterior style and quality are fantastic. I've previously owned a BMW 328i and I can honestly say that I prefer the TSX. I needed a sedan and this was the perfect choice for me.

It's great to hear that you've had such a positive experience with your car! After 4 years and 48,000 miles, it's wonderful to hear that it still provides a fun driving experience. It's also impressive that you've had no problems with it and that it runs great. The balance of performance, handling, economy, and comfort sounds like a winning combination. It's also great to hear that you're getting over 30 MPG on trips when driving 70-75 mph. Although the trip computer may be a bit optimistic, it's always good to double-check and do the math. Keep enjoying your car!

Vehicle year: 2008
The steering, transmission, clutch and running gear are all in tune. This car has a very solid sports car feel, in a small sedan, with ample room for four people. As someone who has owned Hondas since 1986, this was a major step up for me. The car is solid, planted and fun to drive. It's a shame that it requires premium gas, but that's how Honda gets 205 HP out of the 2.4L four cylinder. Overall, this is a driver's car with a nicely snubbed-up ride that is not harsh.

Vehicle year: 2004
I wrote my first review on my TSX back in 2008. Since then, I've put another 60k miles on it. I bought it brand new in 2004. If you're considering buying one of these, don't hesitate - they are incredibly reliable. I never had to do anything beyond my normal maintenance (oil changes, fluid changes, timing chain at 100k miles, brake jobs, etc.). The car never gave me a single problem. I finally parted with my TSX yesterday and sold her. It was just time for a new car. She had 130k miles on her when I said goodbye! Overall, it was a great car and Acura did an awesome job with it.
Are you having problems with your Acura Tsx?

I really appreciate the design of the car, but unfortunately, the engine did not prove to be very reliable. When the car had 80K miles on it, I started hearing a 'rag' noise from the engine in cool weather. Luckily, the dealer covered the cost of the repair. However, when the car reached 100K miles, I began to experience oil loss (without any external leaks). I took the car to the dealer and found out that there was a recall, but unfortunately, it was not covered under warranty. The cost of repairing this issue could have been as high as $6K, or I could have opted to get a new used engine. Ultimately, I decided to sell the car at that point.

I visited the dealership on a Sunday evening to take a look at the TSX. I noticed that they had the Meteor Silver model, which I really liked, on display in the showroom with a spoiler and mudflaps. I decided to take it for a test drive and upon returning, the dealer presented me with some attractive deals, which convinced me to make the purchase. Unfortunately, I made a couple of mistakes - firstly, I traded in my 01 Benz C240 for it, and secondly, I agreed to a 72-month deal. Since purchasing the car, I have experienced several issues with it.
Saul Wuckert 2025-07-23

The Acura I purchased has been a disappointment. Despite efforts from both myself and the dealer, a constant rattling noise in the back seat persists. Additionally, the engine has been ticking loudly at startup since reaching 2000 miles. While the dealer claims this is normal, I find it concerning. I have also noticed that the car's performance does not match the advertised 200 HP, as my wife's 200 HP Escape feels significantly more powerful.
Nathan Larkin 2025-06-07

TSX is a great option for those who want all the features at an affordable price. However, if you are looking for a high-performance car, this may not be the best choice for you. While the car has 200hp, the power is mainly noticeable on the highway, and the 0-60 acceleration is quite slow. The 6MT option can help a little. On the bright side, the interior looks very nice and comfortable. Although some people have reported issues with rattling from the dashboard, door panels, and roof, it is still a great car overall. The stock speaker is not the best, but I replaced it with Alpine speakers, and the sound quality is much cleaner with less distortion. The gas mileage is not as high as advertised, but I still managed to get around 25 mpg. If given another chance, I would still choose the TSX.
Manley Ziemann 2025-05-14
Vehicle year: 2009
The exterior side panels along the windshield of this car have defective clips that repeatedly come off. Despite the dealership claiming that I was the first to experience this issue three times, it appears to be a common problem. Additionally, I have noticed that the trunk and hood are very thin and light, causing them to vibrate at speeds between 60 and 70mph. The air conditioning system also seems to have a mind of its own, turning on high without any input. However, I agree with all other comments regarding the car's comfort, good road feel, and nice pick up. While the voice command feature needs improvement, the navi-lighting and paint quality also require attention as they show minor scratching too easily.
