Acura has had 4 years of vibration issues with the TLX SH AWD and they choose not to do anything about it.3 years later and Edmunds wanted an update. Nothing has changed. Don’t buy an Acura or Honda for that matter. They don’t take care of their customers. Knowingly selling defective cars...

Battery Drain Issue
Disappointed Acura Owner, 09/11/2021
2017 Acura TLX Technology Package 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 8AM)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I purchased a brand new 2017 Acura TLX Tech. In 2019, it left me stranded and walking to my job. I was told by Acura that the battery test proved that the battery was fine. After some back and forth, Acura finally replaced the battery. Now, exactly two years later in 2021, the battery has died and left me stranded again. The Acura company and its employees continue to turn a blind eye to this issue, even though there are a number of complaints listed on the Internet. This is my first new car - and, unfortunately, my most unreliable one.
2017 TLX is an embarrassment for a luxury car

I am the owner of a 2006 Acura TL, and I must say that it is the best car I have ever owner for $27k, but it is getting old. So I went to Acura to look at the new 2017 TLX, which is the TL replacement. What an embarrassment to quality for a $40k car. Interior is cheap plastic instead the softer leather/vinyl found in my TL. Headroom in the back seat will only accommodate a person 5'8" tall or shorter. I am 6' tall and I had to tilt my head and sink down in the seat to fit. Seats are leather trim instead of all leather which usually means that 80% of the seat is vinyl with a little bit of leather to fool people. Front dash with speedometer and odometer looks very cheap. Bottom line, this car looks comparable to a Honda Civic, which is what the ILX is suppose to do. Now for the safety part. THIS CAR DOESN'T COME STANDARD WITH A SPARE TIRE IN THE TRUNK. Acura gives you a can of sealant which more than likely WILL NOT fix your flat tire so that you can get off the highway and drive to a safe area. So get AAA. But what the sealant will do is wreck your TPMS sensor inside the tire which will cost a couple hundred dollars to replace. Electronic assisted steering means that at any time you are driving your car, the steering will fail and take you into the woods or down an embankment. Scary, isn't it. If you are driving down the highway and you are in danger of hitting a car or deer that is in front of you, your natural instinct is to brake and veer onto the shoulder of the road to avoid a collision. Acura's new Lane Keeping Assist system will sense that you are going off the paved road and pull you back onto the highway so that you smash into whatever you were trying to avoid. The bottom line is that Acura has no replacement for the TL. Now I know what you are going to say, "What about the RLX?" Well, the RLX is an old person sedan that my dad would drive and costs twice the amount that I paid for my TL for roughly the same quality of car. Personally I think that Acura needs a new CEO who can bring back luxury and quality to the low-end Acura line without costing the consumer over $60k.

The dealer reaches out to me frequently to trade in my TL for a TLX. So I checked it out but really can’t get past the looks and how cramped it feels. Seems to be a step in the wrong direction. I can’t wait for Acura to revive the TL in all its glory! I own 2 TLs and love them. I do not see ever owning a TLX however.

I do not understand all the hate on the internet by reviewers in regard to this car. This car has exceptional value and luxury and is great to drive. If you don't need all the distracting and updated technology you can get a 2017 at a great price. It has everything I need and even has Bluetooth. You can buy something cheaper and your can buy something nicer...but you can't buy something cheaper and nicer than this car. I am absolutely enjoying driving it and the 4 cylinder has plenty of power.

DO NOT EVER LEASE AN ACURA

Unlike almost all auto companies in the class that Acura tries to compare itself to, Acura does not, under any circumstances, permit a lease to be assumed, regardless of circumstances. And when you approach the dealer to see if a buyback is a potential solution, they tell you that the car is worth far less than the amount of payments due..... Its a sham..... Do not EVER lease an Acura.....

Love the car but where's the spare tire?

As a cost saving/efficiency effort, Acura eliminated the spare tire. If they planned well, they would have made run-flat tires standard. Don't even say fix a flat ... Stuff destroys tires.

Regrets and more regrets

I thought Acura was a good brand. Made a bold and regrettable decision in buying this car. I feel Acura is going to just push these horriblr cars out and hope for no traguc results. I am terrified to take this car on the highway. It does not move. Expensive regret. Purchased. Counting days to unload.
