• Recall 2018001 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. For the gl1800 model, dealers will replace the airbag module. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

The following is a list of any known keyfobs for the Acura Tsx 2009 as well as their FCC IDs if available

• ILCO-AX00014580: 2009-2014 Acura TL, TSX, ZDX / 4-Button Remote Flip Key / PN: 35113-TK4-A00 / MLBHLIK-1T (AFTERMARKET)
  FCC ID: MLBHLIK-1T

Vehicle has thrown an engine code due to excess oil consumption due to sticky piston rings, advancement in timing and vvt advancements. Due to this engine code being thrown, the car deactivates vsa and also throws an emission control light. This causes the car to enter a state where it advances the rpm's at idle by a significant amount and burns more fuel. When leaving the car in drive but at a stop, the car will quickly accelerate nearly to 30 mph on a flat surface. In order to stop the car, the driver must excessively engage the brakes. Acura technicians have informed me that this is a known issue and is due to the piston seals being faulty, causing excessive oil consumption and loosing the timing chain to become out of sync. Engine will then enter a "limp" mode where car will idle higher, burn more fuel.

My oil light keep coming on every 30% after new oil change.

I bought this car a few months ago. The last oil change was done at the dealership i bought from. And since i have owned it i have had to put 6 quarts of oil in my engine. My car is only at about 87,000 miles and is currently ready for the next oil change. I called the dealership to ask what i could do about it and all they told me was to try a fuel treatment which is irrelevant. Im at a loss, and i dont think i will ever buy and acura ever again.

Steering locks up mid-turn while driving. Resulted in a collision.

Whenever the weather drops below freezing, my brakes stop working. The care may work fine for the first block, but fail two or three blocks into a drive. When i try to step on the brake, and it feels frozen -- stuck almost. The only way to stop the vehicle is by using the emergency brake. After a few minutes, of idling the manual brake returns to normal activity. This is extremely alarming -- especially on city roads with numerous pedestrians, students, and other vehicles in close proximity. It is not a normal issue; i never experienced this with another car, and from internet research, it seems that a number of other drivers expressed concern to dealers, the manufacturer, and nhtsa with no outcome. Will it take a casualty or hopefully not a fatality for an investigation/ action?

Excessive oil consumption

My daughter was driving around a curve and she said the wheel locked and she could not turn striking a mail box at 20 mph. This was witnessed by my neighbor who was mowing his lawn. He said he saw her trying to turn but the car was not turning. If she was going faster she would have been killed.

I received a takata recall and went to rosenthal acura to get it replaced. That was completed by rosenthal. I think that was around a year ago. On 04/23/2018 i rear-ended another car. My car was totaled. My speed at impact probably was about 30-25 mph. The car i hit was stationary. My airbags did not deploy. Why not?
