NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:19V-060 appears to be EXACTLY what is going on with my vehicle. I was broke down on the side of the road with warning lights on my dashboard. After having it towed to my mechanic they were able to identify the issue is related to the fuel pump. I looked up issues with my 2019 Acura TLX and fuel pumps and found that there is a recall. Only my VIN does not qualify for the recall. However, the issue described in the recall is EXACTLY what's going on with my TLX. I was lucky enough not to have an accident but I very well could of if I had not pulled off the highway!

Since I purchased my vehicle my seat beats get stuck unable to clip belt. My car came with speakers not working dealer tried to tell me I was crazy, until the speaker system was check Yess sure enough no speaker sound at all. In my main base front center Speaker ( VeryBig Deal) all of this last Friday my TLX aspec 3.5v6 has been Making noise and running at a very low reduced speed for no apparent reason while flashing a Engine sign. Flash blank with warning engine. This Event has put me at risk of safety and protection of customer purchase violations as I developed change in my daily life being blind sided about my Acura TLX Car safety and manufacturing issues. I complaint about this after purchase of vechile and They fixed the repair at no charge. But who wants they car ripped apart never in same fresh condition as purchase. I now receive bends in dash board related to speaking replacements documented in Acura Profile. Yes it hasn-€™t been my car has been diagnostic and going for rare down of engine components at the Acura dealer. This is outrageous and so scary knowing I have too been dealt a bad TLX.

When I back out of somewhere and select `drive' on the transmission there is a delay of 2 seconds to 5 seconds before it engages in 'drive'.that is a long time when a person is pulling out on an arterial. The acceleration iwhen in 'drive' is not consistent with a similar hesitation. From the time the accelerator has been pressed it could be 2 to 5 seconds before it begins to move. It has been terrifying when merging on to the freeway or simply just pulling out on any roadway.the transmission seems sluggish when going from drive to reverse also but that is not going to cause an accident like not being able go forward is. This had a recall on fuel pump programming and that made little or no improvement. I have Acura invoices and film that I have taken on another device that can be provided.

Acura Tlx, 2019, fuel system failed, shifted gears on its own and I had to immediately die to safety concerns. This issue first appears in September 2019, with 5K miles. Ok November 10,2019, Tlx display boards for (navigation and temperature adjustments, use of phone and radio would cycle down on it own. This happened repeatedly while the car is in drive or park. It causes a huge distraction while driving or going into reverse because you cannot utilize your back-up camera, adjust the temperature and cause a major distraction while driving. I've reported the issue to Acura advised me on what steps I should take to self diagnose this. This automobile is not safe to drive. The dealership has provided little to no updates on what exactly is wrong and the automobile has been in their possession for over a week.

2019 Acura Tlx 2.4L. Purchased brand new less than a month ago with less than 900 miles on the vehicle. Sudden emissions problem and parking brake check engine lights flashing after vehicle has been sitting/parked. This has happened repeatedly and seems to be a known problem to Acura which the dealer does not know how to repair. When dealer checks problem it shows a problem code indicating emissions leak but after testing nothing can be found.
