Over the past few weeks the vehicle warning lamp states "Check Power Steering System." A customer service representative from Acura Dealer witnessed the problem. Then somehow it corrects itself for a while and steering is back to normal. My most recent diagnostic by an independent service center did not indicate a problem. However, 2 days later the problem reoccurred which caused the wheel to shake and stiffen while driving. The most difficulty experience is turning the wheel to park.

Issue had not been persistent, on Sunday, May the 12th, 2024, while driving home, I was on a slight downward slope coming to a halt at a red light, when the car jolted slightly and the warning lights came. The auto-shutoff feature on the vehicle stopped working immediately. I was able to drive the car home, but after parking - the vehicle wouldn-??t start again. Electronic screen on the radio came on and I could see error codes P1437 & P15A5. Also warnings on the dash to check IMA system, check charging system, check battery, check breaking system. Power steering locked up due to the voltage shortage. What is the reason/explanation provided by the dealer, as to what caused this issue" DTC'S P0A78 - MPI INTERNAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION, P1440 - MPI OUT CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. MPI FAILING INTERNALLY, CAUSING 12V BATTERY TO LOSE CHARGE. Previously parts involved were recalled in Dec 2020, since American Honda didn-??t not include my VIN they have refused to be of any assistance - monopolizing on being the only available source to change the parts. Had I received the recall, I would have had it addressed prior to the part going out. I-??m 6330 miles over what they would have covered because I had no idea this was an issue until I found the safety bulletin which exactly described the recall and what happened to be my experience. Same issues, but I-??m being told I couldn-??t be included. They are charging me over $1400 for the part alone and then service which includes a complete removal of my back seats. I JUST spent nearly $4000 in Feb 2023 on the AC because the car wouldn-??t start, who is to say this wasn-??t undetected issue at the time"!

Hi - My driver's side door keeps unlocking and registering as if I am opening it as I am driving. I've attempted to have this fixed (stopped unlocking for about a year) but it has started back up within the last month. It's now come to my attention that upon searching for safety recalls on my car, that there was a recall back in 2012 (12V338000) on my car for what sounds exactly like the issue I've been having. I have an appointment to get Driveshaft Corrosion (20V-770) recall fixed on 11/6, but they do not have the other safety recall associated with my VIN number. Therefore, they are refusing to look at it without payment. I would hate to have to pay for a temporary fix again and I am extremely concerned that I cannot drive my vehicle without it unlocking and am really hoping this reaches the right audience. I am looking for assistance in having this resolved. Thank you!

On July 20th, 2023, while driving home from work, my vehicle without warning made a sudden jerk and all the warning light s came on the dash board. The car had reduced power and acceleration and an automated voice from the dash board warned to pull over the car. I pulled over into a garage who performed a diagnostic. They stated the error codes indicated MPI failure (IMA power moter invertor). They also stated there was a Service Bulletin 20-021 for tis issue with this car (same year /model). When a VIN check was performed, the vehicle did not come up on this TSB. I had the car towed to an acura dealer and they ran a diagnostic. They confirmed error codes P1440, P15A5, P0AE1, P0DA8 - all codes listed in the service builletin 20-021 for this vehicle year, make and model. I have no doubt, as the data indicates, this failure/incident was caused by the same issues which are covered under TSB 20-021 and this VIN should be included.

My car was in motion I was driving on a main street and then my car suddenly broke down. I had no prior lights on. The vehicle began shaking, my check engine light began flashing and the rest of the lights on the dashboard began flashing with the code P0202, and could not accelerate past 3 mph. I was in the middle of the street and it took me over 20 minutes to pull into a gas station that would normally take 5 minutes, I don't know how I even made it to the station without pushing the car myself. I had to tow it directly to the Acura dealership. I have owned the car less than 2 years and have had no prior issues. Acura notified me it was my fuel injector and coils after running the diagnostic. I had to pay $1,200 out of pocket because my warranty expired. I was notified that this was a complete parts issue, a rare occurrence, there was nothing I could have done, this was a manufacturing issue. Then I received a call from Acura after the parts were replaced that they fried out the PCM-the computer of the car. They stated my car was not driveable until the PCM was replaced and that it did not show in the diagnostic until they replaced the parts. So now, a parts failure led to an electrical failure. They told me there was nothing listed in the service bulletin because this was not a common issue. I had to pay an additional $1,100 now totaling to a $2,200 unprecedented out-of-pocket expense for a manufacturer failure. This is terrifying because my car was working completely fine, driving smoothly, and out of nowhere without any indication gave out on me, placing my life in danger. Suspiciously enough, during this timeframe, I get a notification of a recall on my vehicle for a stop sale related to driveshaft corrosion which could cause my car to stop. What if this is the issue that caused the other problems?

The light on my 2013 Ilx are being foggy and show diminish light. Door latch acts up sometimes as well- it lock and then it does not unlock. Passenger airbag always is out of wack- it says that they are off then on...

2013 Acura Ilx vehicles. If the manual or power door lock is activated while an interior front door handle is being operated by an occupant, the cable connecting the interior door handle to the door latch mechanism may become loose and move out of position. There is a possibility that the cable can move far enough out of position to prevent the door from properly latching.

For over one year I have been reporting to Acura that my 2013 Ilx computer system is being tampered with. Acura's response had been to deny of knowing any issues with the electrical/computer system. Two weeks ago while washing my car in the driveway, I witnessed the doors lock/unlocked and alarm system set, this cycle repeated for a least an entire minute. I notified Acura and was told to take to dealership, they recommended I have the key fobs reset, charged $74 just to hook up car to computer. The 2 key fobs were reset and two days later I found the car tampered with again. After spending the money I found these links on the internet. www.today.com/news/police-admit-theyre-stumped-mystery-car-thefts-6C10169993

October 13, 2013 I was in the church parking lot and tried to start the car. The car won't start or crank up.. June 4, 2014, again the Ilx won't start or crank up. The car was in a parking lot of a school. Both times the car had to be jump start. I was told the fog light was using up the battery so the dealer turned the fog light off. Then I was told the nav was using up the battery and finally I was told the battery cell was faulty. The Acura dealer finally changed the battery since the battery is still on warranty. I am on wait and see situation right now whether I would have the same battery problem in six months.
