TLX

  • miles
My vehicle was stolen due to a jammer that copied my car keys information. I have it on video. It was addressed to acura and honda about the vulnerability for past 3 years and they ignored it. I now am a victim of a stolen vehicle because of this vulnerability that was not acknowledged

TLX

  • miles
I was driving down the freeway, in a new 2021 Acura TLX with 2000 miles on it. It was raining when I went to switch lanes and floor it to pass another car and the check engine light came on and the power dies and speed dramatically slows down and I-??m unable to accelerate. The check engine light is flashing and the car will not reach 40mph. Again I-??m on the freeway. This was a very dangerous situation. There were no warnings leading up to this catastrophic fuel/engine issue. I took the car to the Acura dealer who said there had been reports of issues related to water getting into the car-??s intercooler for the turbo causing the car to misfire and then going into -??safe mode-?? with a flashing check engine light. They installed Acura SB 20-053 PGM-FI update. I-??m picking the car up on 2/6/22 and hoping the issue is resolved. Again this was a serious fuel engine issue that if I-??d been passing a car on a two lane road into oncoming traffic could have been deadly
