Common 2010 Acura Tsx problems
The Acura TSX, a luxury midsize car produced between 2003 and 2014, is known for its dependability, but it still has common problems that affect certain model years. This article will focus on the 2010 Acura TSX and its commonly reported issues.
- Faulty Tire Pressure Sensor: Some 2010 Acura TSX owners have experienced issues with the tire pressure sensor. The low tire warning light may activate even when the tire pressure is accurate. Replacing the faulty tire pressure sensors with new ones is a common fix for this problem.
- Engine Problems: A variety of engine problems have been reported by 2010 Acura TSX owners. These issues usually occur during winter when the engine becomes colder than usual. Affected vehicles may refuse to turn on at cold starts, produce rattling noises, and require a jump start to get going. Once owners bring their car to the dealer, they are often told that the noise is caused by a bad VTC actuator. Replacing the failed actuator is a common fix for this issue.
- Excessive Oil Consumption: Some 2010 Acura TSX owners have complained about excessive oil consumption. The check oil and engine light may activate frequently, signaling a need to get the car's engine oil checked or refilled. One driver reported that their oil percentage would read 70/60, while the dipstick underneath the hood would read no oil at all. Others report burning as much as a quart and a half of oil every 1,000 miles.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2014-06-10
- VIN: JH4CU2F64AC
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: THE CAR DOOR LOCKS, OR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS, HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES ( EACH DOOR AT LEAST TWICE) IN FIVE YEARS. THE CAR IS NOW EIGHT YEARS OLD AND ALL THE ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. THE SAFETY ISSUE ARISES WHEN THE DOOR SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AFTER REACHING 10MPH, BUT THEY DO NOT DUE TO ACTUATORS FAILING TO LOCK DOOR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DOORS TO OPEN IF INVOLVED IN CRASH. I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD ALSO ALLOW UNWANTED PEOPLE FROM ENTERING MY VEHICLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. ANOTHER ISSUE IS IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF ALL OF THE ACTUATORS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, AS IT REQUIRES MANUAL ACTIVATION OF LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH ACURA. I KNOW OF OTHER TSX OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED FROM ACURA AND THEY HAVE DECLINED THE REPAIR, STATING THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THEIR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ACTUATORS ARE AN ISSUE.

The V6 TSX is a fantastic vehicle, it's really enjoyable to drive and the acceleration is impressive. According to Edmunds, the 0-60 sprints are timed at 6.4 seconds, but in reality, it's more like 5.7-5.8 seconds, with 1/4 miles coming in at about 14.5 seconds. These times were measured in sport mode. Overall, it's a great car that's really fun to drive!

Beautiful ride! It definitely beats the BMW 3 series, Lexus IS, and Audi A4 in terms of value for money. Plus, it outshines the Accord, Camry, and Altima in terms of luxury. This car is my perfect escape from everyday stress. I got more than I expected!

The 2010 TSX/technology package is an amazing car to drive. The interior design is excellent, as well as the exterior. There is plenty of room in the front, and the navigation system and Bluetooth are very easy to use. I've tried other cars with the same package, but they are more complicated to use. When I drive my car, heads turn. Without even looking at the inside, I get compliments on the look of the car. This car feels great on the highway, and it has a lot of power for a 4 cylinder. I can only imagine how much better the 6 cylinder would be. The 3 month trial period for the XM radio is a must-have. Great job, Acura!

After considering a V6 Accord Coupe, I decided on the TSX V6 and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with this vehicle. As a Porsche owner, I can confidently say that the handling of this sports sedan is quite good. The steering has a nice feel, especially at high speeds, and the V6 engine provides decent fuel mileage. The ride is very comfortable and I have nothing negative to say about it. In my opinion, this car is even better than the Lexus IS250. The size is perfect and the features it offers make it a very attractive package. I am particularly impressed with the Noise Cancelling system, which does an excellent job of keeping out external noises.

Just for the record, I recently finished a 3-year lease on an 08 TSX with a 6-speed manual. I absolutely loved it, but I was ready for a change from driving a stick. So, I decided to purchase another one, this time with an automatic transmission. I must say, this car is even better than the original in almost every way. The seats are more comfortable, the base stereo is MUCH better, the handling is improved, there's more room, the build quality is better, and overall it's just more fun to drive. If you're skeptical about the performance, don't be - there's plenty of power there. Plus, the automatic shifts quickly and is quite sporty. And this is coming from someone who considers themselves an auto enthusiast. The bottom line is that you won't find a better value for your money ANYWHERE, especially if you're looking to lease. Two thumbs up!
