Common 2007 Acura Tsx problems
The Acura TSX, produced from 2003 to 2014, is a compact luxury car known for its beautiful simplicity. However, some model years have common problems that potential buyers should be aware of.
- Power Steering Failure (2012 model year): Power steering failure is a common problem for the 2012 Acura TSX, with owners reporting that their power steering stops abruptly while driving or the check power steering system light illuminates before the vehicle becomes difficult to steer. Replacing the EPS unit or the circuit board has fixed this problem in some affected vehicles.
- Faulty Tire Pressure Sensors (2012 model year): Some owners of the 2012 Acura TSX have reported problems with its tire pressure sensor. 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): Owners of the 2010 Acura TSX 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. The noise is often caused by a bad VTC actuator, and replacing the failed actuator is a common fix for this issue.
- Oil Consumption Issues (2009 model year): Some owners of the 2009 Acura TSX have reported problems with its oil consumption. The check oil and engine light are activated often, signaling a need to get the 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.
- Transmission Failure (2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2012 model years): These models have been reported to have engine problems and transmission failure, with the 2010 model in particular dealing with excessive oil consumption. Interior accessory issues also appeared as secondary troubles in most of the models, providing inconvenient and occasionally expensive repairs.
When considering purchasing a used Acura TSX, it is essential to research the specific model year's common problems and consider the costs of potential repairs. The 2007, 2008, 2011, 2013, and 2014 model years are considered the best years for the Acura TSX, with fewer problems and a more reliable driving experience.

Are you having problems with your 2007 Acura Tsx?
Charley Torphy 2024-11-03
Wow, I can actually take a nap while waiting for it to start! When I first bought it, I didn't realize it would take this long. Sometimes, when it rains overnight or if it's cold all day, or if I don't start it for over 8 hours, it takes 6-8 cranks. Does anyone else have this issue, or is it just me? I get a bit worried that it won't start at all and I'll be late for work. On a positive note, they were able to fix the issue with my steering wheel vibrating when I applied the brakes after I took it back.
Kamron Watsica 2024-10-20
I love the car, but I'm not a fan of the gas mileage. It only gets 16.5 MPG in the city, even with premium fuel. However, the car does drive well. I used to have an SUV with a V8 that did better on gas, but I still love the way this car looks and drives. Just be prepared to pay a lot for gas, as it does tend to drink it up.
Jermey Nader 2024-08-06
I'm so glad to hear that you love your car! It's fantastic to know that you're getting over 30 mpg on the highway and that it's comfortable even on a 10 hour trip. It sounds like you made a great choice!
Omari Gleichner 2024-07-02
I have had this car for a week, but I have been lusting after it ever since it debuted in 2004. My wife bought it for me as a birthday present, and I have been ecstatic behind the wheel every day. The car handles the twisties with minimal body roll, and the engine is eager to rev. The steering is precise, and Honda does the best shifters in the business. The interior has the quality of cars costing 10K more.
Jan Hoppe 2024-06-13
Great vehicle so far! I'm really impressed with the excellent MPG at 50-65 mph, averaging around 33-34 mpg. It runs smoothly and has a pretty quiet ride. Overall, it's an excellent car for the money. The only downside is that it could use more room in the backseat. I also want to mention that Acura has great service and makes a great car!
