Exactly what failed

NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

When owners complained

A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2004 Acura TSX

A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

Canada — Transport Canada

Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones.

Recall 2013082 16,990 units in Canada

Electrical

On certain vehicles operated in areas where road salt and de-icing chemicals are used, if the driver enters the vehicle with a salt/snow mixture on their feet, this could melt and soak the carpet, allowing the salt-water solution to contact the base of the Engine Control Unit (ECU). As a result, the ECU could suffer corrosion damage, which may cause the engine to stall. Engine stalling would result in a loss of vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a waterproof cover over the ECU. A damaged ECU will be replaced.

Recall 2004324 6,002 units in Canada

Lights And Instruments

On certain vehicles, the wiring harness located in the trunk hinge area is not adequately protected and, over time, could be damaged when the trunk is opened and closed. A damaged harness can cause a blown fuse or an open circuit; either results in a loss of licence plate light, back up light and/or tail light function. All affected lights are on the trunk lid. The portion of the light assembly on the rear quarter panel, which includes a tail light, a brake light and a turn signal, are not affected. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear wire harness. If any damage is found, the harness will be replaced. If no damage is found, the dealer will install corrugated plastic tubing over the harness to prevent damage.

Recalls cover specific build ranges, so check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or, in Canada, Transport Canada.

2004 ACURA TSX: I SAT IN MY CAR IDLE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO EAT. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. WITHIN 5 SECONDS THE DRIVER SIDE DEPLOYED. THESE CREATED THE LOUDEST NOISE I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND JUMPED OUT AS THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH A DUSTY CLOUD. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT AN ACURA DEALERSHIP EVERY 5,000 - 6,000 MILES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT.

TAKATA RECALL UPON GETTING IN THE VEHICLE I SIMPLY SAT IN THE DRIVER SEAT, AND CLOSED THE DOOR. AS SOON AS THE DOOR SHUT CLOSED, THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED HITTING ME IN THE HEAD NECK AND SHOULDER AREA. TRIGGERING ME TO HAVE MUSCLE SPASMS IN MY BACK, SEVERE HEAD ACHE, AND TO BE DISORIENTED AFTER BEING STRUCK SO ABRUPTLY AND WITH OUT WARNING.

THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, IR ANY REASON FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS MANUFACTURER DEFFECT FIXED. AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER IT AS A MANUFACTURER DEFFECT, AND WILL COST ME $3100.00 TO FIX. THE DEALERS WORDS TO ME WERE, "AIR BAGS DO NOT JUST DEPLOY ON THEIR OWN." UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF MY OWN IVE FOUND AT LEAST 25 OTHER COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR MODEL WITH SIMILAR AIR BAG ISSUES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

While driving the vehicle, the vehicle suddenly shutoff and powered on again. After do some diagnostics we determined is was the ECU/ECM. The ECM has corrosion on the top which caused salty water to eat through the lid. Doing some research this vehicle make and model has recall but doesn’t show up under my vin. I’ve contacted the manufacturer which was willing to help but the dealership seems to not want to help since no recall was under the vin so the manufacturer “HONDA” has closed the case but hasn’t given me any answer to why. I’m in contact again with the manufacturer waiting for a call back hopefully today 4-21-26

I HAVE A 2004 ACURA TSX I PURCHASED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER BACK ON MAY OF 2018 WITH 55000 ORIGINAL MILES. THE CAR RUNS LIKE NEW IT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER ALL SERVICES AND INSPECTIONS WERE UP TO DATE AS/ CARFAX REPORT. THE CAR SINCE I'VE OWNED I PUT 19000 MILES WITH ALL SERVICE AND INSPECTIONS UP TO DATE SO THE VEHICLE HAS NOW 74000 MILES. 3 WEEKS AGO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT ROUGH. THE FLUIDS AND FILTER WERE REPLACED AT 60000 MILES SO ITS NOT THE FLUID THATS DIRTY. I TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS INCLUDING MY STATE INSPECTION MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT'S STARTING TO GO BAD. I WAS ALSO TOLD THESE TRANSMISSIONS CAME FAULTY IN A LOT OF HONDA CARS AND HONDA WAS TO REPLACE THEM AT NO COST. MY QUESTION IS IF MY CAR FALLS INTO THIS WARRANTY ISSUE BECAUSE I KNOW THE YEAR OF CAR IS OLD BUT THE CAR LOOKS AND RUNS LIKE NEW. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SOLVE THIS MATTER MAYBE THERE IS A RECALL THAT I'M NOT AWARE OF AND MAYBE IT CAN BE REPAIRED THRU THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE AND COSTLY ISSUE TO TAKE CARE OF ON MY OWN.

This vehicle was taken in for a recall for a corrosive ECM. 1 hour prior to taking this vehicle in my assigned service writer gave me a call, your vehicle is ready for pick up. I was advised due to their visual inspection of the ECM( Electronic control module)(electrical computer) not having corrosion, they will not change the unit but they have decided to replace the cover on the unit. I've filed a concerning complaint to Acura headquarters due to my knowledge of cars to have it on file what was told to me before receiving the vehicle. Due to my knowledge a faulty ECM can trigger numerous faults within the vehicles performance.Prior to bringing the vehicle to the dealership, I've been experiencing heavy misfires, poor radio connection, no interior lights and triggered headlights. I've replaced the necessary mechanics that would normal be the cause of these issues and the problem was still existing. The last option was the ECM,which fueled my search of a recall on these models for a faulty ECM. A few weeks later I've contacted another dealership in hopes they would take care of the problem, the representative was polite and reassured me the recall was suppose to be replaced with a new unit under manufacturer policy. However this could not be done because the previous dealer has marked the vehicle as a completed task. So I filed another complaint and have not received any further notice regarding my concern. A few weeks later I had the vehicle diagnosed and realized the ECM was never replaced nor removed out of the vehicle for inspection. Pictures and video where taken of this unit,as you can see the build up of dirt and dust from its original installment back in 2004. Later reading the review of that specific dealership, I've learned their has been numerous complaints regarding poor service at that locations service department.

STEERING

Power Steering Hose Leak. I took my vehicle in to have the oil changed and mechanics noticed a power steering leak. The mechanic looked up any recalls on my vehicle and noted this was a previous recall. Upon searching, 2010 there was a bulletin that went out, and the car was taken in 2010 and inspected and released. Upon further searching the other day there was a 2018 release and update of the same bulletin, which I never received. Regardless of it being inspected in 2010 and being cleared to drive, it seems this issue ultimately ended up happening, just now, instead of 2010. When I contacted Acura they said there are no current vin associated recalls on my vehicle. My issue is, just because it was 10 years ago w/no issue doesn’t mean the issue doesn’t exist today, which it does. I’ve gotten no help from Acura on this. Any information you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.

IT SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME. ITS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY A FEW TIMES AND REGULAR DRIVING ON THE ROADS. I HAVE ALSO BEEN DRIVING AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ACCELERATOR SEEMED TO STAY PRESSED DOWN. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THERE MUST BE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ALSO MY RADIO TENDS TO STOP WORKING AND THEN COMES ON RANDOMLY WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. I HAVE ASKED HONDA BEFORE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS. THERE SEEMS TO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CONNECTED TO THE VSA. I ALSO FOUND AT TIMES THE CARPETS WET IN THE FRONT AND THE CAR DOESN'T LEAK THAT I KNOW OF.
