2006 Acura Tsx

Defect. Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Accelerator Pedal Assemblies part numbers 699-114 and 825-5029-1, sold as replacement parts for 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2004-2008 Acura TL and TSX, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V, 2007-2011 Honda Element, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. The rotating portion of the accelerator pedal assembly may bind. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."

Risk. If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.

Defect.

In states that use corrosive materials for deicing, driver's footwear may bring in materials that saturate the vehicle's carpeting, which is in contact with the vehicle's engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

All vehicles will have a waterproof cover installed onto the ECU, free of charge. The recall began during April 2013.

The power steering is leaking constantly as soon as u pour it in the car drive it 2 miles all leaks out and have to refill in order for the power steering to work correctly and there is a recall for it on this vehicle.

Power steering rack & pinion always leaks on these vehicles. It is possible to lose all pressure in system and for vehicle to lose control while on the road. Acura is aware of the issue on 04-08 TSX models but refuses to issue a recall. On my personal vehicle, the driver's side seal is leaking.

THE CAR IS ABOUT TO NEED THE STEERING RACK REPLACED FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE AUGUST OF 2021. THE POWER STEERING FLUID GETS LOW AND NEEDS TO BE REFILLED EVERY FEW MONTHS. STEERING RACK EVENTUALLY SPRINGS LEAK EVERY SINGLE TIME. ALREADY HAD HOSE REPLACED FROM RECALL.

Every day I. The morning, the car would not start even though the battery is new and the car is driven everyday and mechanics can not find the problem and it passes all tests when checked for problems.

Paint has pealed away, exposing the metal on the body which is starting to rust. The major areas are on top of hood, roof and top of trunk.

MY POWER STEERING HOSES HAVE BEEN LEAKING AND NOW THERE'S FLUID DOWN UNDER THE MOTOR AND UNDER THE CAR.. THE CAR WILL NOT HOLD POWER STEERING FLUID BUT FOR ONE DAY AND MY CAR IS NOW BECOME UNDRIVABLE. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE AND STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND SAW THAT ACTUALLY I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOW IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S WORSE THAN JUST THE HOSES. I'VE TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAY NO YOU'RE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL I HAVE ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE STATED AND NOW IT'S BECOME EXACERBATED. I NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BINDS, THE ENGINE DOESN'T NOT QUICKLY RETURN TO IDLE AFTER THE PEDAL IS NO LONGER PRESSED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 124, ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. *TR

WHEN APPLYING FIRM PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, IT RESPONDS WITH A SERIES OF RAPID VIBRATIONS AND CONCOMITANT CLICKING NOISE. I NEVER FEEL A SOLID AND RESPONSIVE BREAKING SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO SLOW IN ICE ON A SIDE STREET IN 06 AT WHICH TIME I CALLED ACURA TO COMPLAIN. A FEW DAYS AGO, I ATTEMPTED TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I WAS ROLLING AFTER RELEASING MY BREAK FROM A FULL STOP, SO NOT EVEN ANY MPG'S. THIS WAS ON A SIDE STREET, AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE. IT WAS PROBABLY IN SEPTEMBER 2019. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE, BUT I WORRY THAT MY BRAKES WILL NEVER BE THERE WHEN I NEED THEM.

POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER, ALTERNATOR FAILED AND I WAS TOLD THIS WAS BECAUSE OF BEING SATURATED WITH THE FLUID FROM PREVIOUS FAILURE. NOW THIS... WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR HOME WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SUDDENLY THE CAR BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD 'WOBBLE.' THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT MY WIFE MADE IT HOME SLOWLY. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED POWER STEERING FLUID AND RESERVOIR AND IT WAS LOW. FILLED IT UP WITH LEFTOVER HONDA FLUID AND LEAKED IMMEDIATELY FROM THE DRIVER RUBBER BOOT NEAR RACK AND PINION. RACK AND PINION NOW NEEDS REPLACEMENT FROM A MASSIVE LEAK. THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND PLACING MANY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING.

RE 2006 ACURA - LETTER FROM CONSTITUENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE IN FILING A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THE PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE MATTER. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS FRAUDULENTLY SOLD. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS REPORTED, THE BRAKES WOULD SQUEAK, AND THE CODES WERE CLEARED BEFORE BEING SOLD. *JS

I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING RACK DUE TO A MAJOR LEAK OF FLUID TO THE POINT I COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THANK GOD IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I GOT HOME FROM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. JUST WHEN I PULLED TO PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND FOUND OUT THE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED AND EMPTY. I ADDED NEW POWER STEERING FLUID AND WITHIN AN HOUR IT LEAKED ALL OUT. TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP A FEW DAYS LATER DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS AND FOUND OUT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE BREAKDOWN OF THE SEAL ON BOTH SIDES. A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I TOOK MY CAR ON A 1200 MILES ROAD TRIP. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T BREAK DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AS THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. CONTACTED ACURA CLIENT SERVICE MANAGER AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE POWER STEERING BUT IT WAS FOR A DIFFERENT PART, A HOSE, AND THAT MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR A DIFFERENT PART WOULD NOT BE COVERED. EVEN THOUGH IN MY OPINION THIS IS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE FROM THE SAME COMPONENT, THE POWER STEERING. I QUESTIONED THE LOGIC OF THE MANAGER'S REASON FOR DENIAL AS THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE SAFETY OF THE PERSON DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHOULD THE POWER STEERING FAILS, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PART WITHIN THAT COMPONENT WAS RECALLED. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS AND THE GRAVITY OF THIS PROBLEM. THEREFORE, I AM HERE WRITING THIS COMPLAINT SO HOPEFULLY, SOMEONE CAN UNDERSTAND AND RELA

GOT INTO MY VEH. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND FOUND BITS OF GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. LOOKED UP AND FOUND MY SUNROOF SHATTERED, BUT STILL HELD TOGETHER, APPARENTLY BY THE TINT FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS. GETTING OUT, I FOUND PIECES OF GLASS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GLASS ROOF. IT APPEARED TO HAVE IMPLODED FROM THE INSIDE' NO KNOWN CAUSE. CAR WAS PARKED WHEN I FOUND THIS.

RACK AND PINION (STEERING RACK) LEAKING. MULTIPLE ACURA TSX FROM 2004-2008 WILL MOST LIKELY RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM. SEEN A FEW COMPLAINTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA FROM VARIOUS ACURA TSX OWNERS FROM 2004-2008 MODELS. VERY HIGH COST TO REPLACE AND DANGEROUS IF STEERING RACK FAILS. BOUGHT FROM DEALERSHIP A FEW MONTHS BACK AT 111K MILES, NOW AT 115K ONLY.

THE POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKS, AND I HAVE TO REPLACE IT. MY BROTHER ALSO HAS A 2004 ACURA TSX AND HIS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT LEAKS FROM THE POWER STEERING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FAULTY ON MOST TSXS.

HORN WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. $700 TO PULL AND REPLACE AN AIRBAG TO REPLACE A 45 CENT SWITCH IS AN ABSURDITY. HEY, HONDA/ACURA...WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WITH THAT SWEET SH*T, GM?

FIRST THE POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKED AND WAS REPLACED. NOW I'M TOLD THE RACK AND PINION IS LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

THE MORNING OF THURSDAY JUNE 30TH 2016 I TUNED THE CAR ON AND HAD AN ODD SOUND THAT EVEN WHEN I TURNED OR DROVE IT SOUNDED LIKE A BUS! THE STEERING WAS HARD YET I STILL MANAGED TO GET TO WORK AND HOME SAFELY. MY HUSBAND SAID THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS DEPLETED AND ADDED FLUID. I THEN TOOK IT TO WORK AND WAS RUNNING OK NO MORE SOUNDS AND I WAS CONTENT. THAT AFTERNOON THOUGH I STARTED UP AGAIN AND THEN SAW THE TRAIL OF FLUID RUNNING DOWN FROM UNDER THE CAR. THE NOISE AND STIFFNESS OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BACK. NEEDLESS TO SAY I ALMOST COULDN'T MAKE A TURN TO GET INTO MY HOME.
