2015 Acura TLX Complaints

POWER TRAIN — Filed 10/03/2026

While driving my 2015 Acura TLX, warning lights illuminate and the vehicle unexpectedly shifts into neutral while the vehicle is moving. When this occurs, the vehicle loses the ability to accelerate normally, creating a serious safety concern in traffic. These symptoms appear consistent with the condition addressed by Acura recall KC2 (NHTSA Recall 16V-640), involving the transmission wire harness/connection and transmission control system. The recall describes a condition in which the transmission can unexpectedly shift into neutral while driving. My VIN is not coming up under recall yet my vehicle has done this same thing multiple times over the past few months. I need my VIN added to recall list so this serious issue can be repaired under recall by Acura.

the 2015 1st generation Acura TLX is affected by a defective torque sensor inside the steering gearbox that malfunctions sending error codes displaying as LKAS, ESP, EPB, ACC, Driver mitigation control, etc. these driver assisted technologies are dangerous when faulty. a fault code triggered in the driver assist system tech causes the vehicle to lose power steering under power and at speed causing an unsafe operation of the vehicle that can result in death. Honda motor corp is aware of this because they extend the warrantee for this part to be replaced. Honda issued a superseding memo to cover the cost of repairs between 80-100 percent of the repair. the original TB (tech Bulletin) 15-056 was for 2013-14 Honda Accord, however the 2015 Acura TLX shares the design of that vehicle and supplied the parts for the first generation Acura TLX. the revision classifies the gearbox as no longer a controlled part, a replacement must be ordered when hard codes are repeating 53-02, 53-02. I have spoken to Honda and they are denying this issue is a recallable issue. it has to be recalled and if research is conducted I am sure that it will be seen to have caused collisions on the roadway, I have had several near miss incidents and my vehicle has very low miles to be affected by an issue like this and the car has never been hit.

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER — Filed 07/31/2025

The vehicle is experiencing extensive factory paint failure and clear-coat delamination on the roof, around the rear windshield, C-pillars, and upper door frames. The condition began approximately 12 months ago around the rear windshield and has progressively spread to multiple upper body panels despite normal ownership and maintenance. The paint is peeling in large sections, exposing the underlying paint layers. Research indicates Acura previously acknowledged a similar paint adhesion defect affecting certain 2015 Acura TLX vehicles around the rear windshield and issued a warranty extension for some vehicles. Although my vehicle may not have been included in that program, the failure pattern appears substantially similar. The vehicle has not been involved in any collision affecting these areas, and the paint appears to be the original factory finish. The condition continues to worsen over time. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Acura Client Relations has been contacted, and a case has been opened requesting inspection and review.

STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE — Filed 02/28/2026

The vehicle is throwing a steering code of LSAK. The steering is being compromised as the vehicle cannot determine if it is being steered correctly or not. After researching this code, I have seen hundreds of other people so far complaining about the same code for this year, make and model. One person had stated that his steering stopped mid way on his drive. I looked up the prices of correcting this issue and it ranges anywhere form 1800.00 to 2000 .00. My vehicle only has 65,000 miles on it and this is a potentially very dangerous situation. With the hundreds of customers that I have seen so far that are complaining of the same issue, I do not feel that this should be the customers responsibility to fix but rather a recall or at the very least a class action lawsuit if the dealer will not correct this potentially very dangerous issue.

I HAVE HAD MANY EPISODES WITH THIS CAR. THE FIRST ONE, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WITH A CAR AHEAD OF, AND BEHIND ME, WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE, I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD, AND IT FELT LIKE I GOT HIT FROM BEHIND, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. ANOTHER TIME, MY HUSBAND WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, AND HE HIT A TELEPHONE IN FRONT OF HIM. HE IS UNCLEAR WHAT HAPPENED. WE HAD DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHICH WE HAD TO REPAIR. ANOTHER TIME, I WAS DRIVING IN ECONOMY MODE IN TRAFFIC, WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE, AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE INITIALLY, THEN AFTER A SECOND OR TWO, IT RACED FORWARD WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ONLY MY CAR WAS DAMAGED. THE DEALER AND ACURA CORPORATE THEN INSPECTED IT AND I WAS TOLD "NOTHING WAS WRONG". MANY TIMES NOW, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT SEEMS THAT THE ENGINE SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. IF I CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE, IT WILL BE STUCK FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN PROPELS ME FORWARD WITH A JERK. I WAS TRYING TO DO A LANE CHANGE LAST WEEK, AND THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, LIKE THE ENGINE WAS "STUCK". I WAS LUCKY THERE WASN'T A CAR BEHIND ME, BECAUSE I CHANGED LANES, THEN ABRUPTLY SLOWED DOWN.I TREATED IT LIKE A HYDROPLANE, I DIDN'T ACCELERATE, AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTIONING. LATER THAT DAY, I WAS DRIVING TOWARD A TOLL BOOTH, AND AGAIN, I FELT THE ENGINE SHIFT AND IT WOULDN'T RESPOND TO MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. I DO NOT FEEL AS IF I CAN DRIVE IT SAFELY. I AM STUCK IN A LEASE FOR TWO MORE YEARS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND GET IT REPAIRED.
