I WAS DRIVING ALONE ON A ICY CITY STREET AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP COMPLETELY WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 12-15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN IT IMPACTED THE OTHER VEHICLE. ON THE OTHER VEHICLE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AT ALL AND ON MY 2005 ACURA TSX THERE WAS A MINOR INDENTATION IN THE FRONT BUMPER CAUSED BY THE OTHER CARS LICENSE PLATE AND MY PASSENGER AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED.

Had just picked up my car from being repaired from an accident and was just driving along and I turned the seat heater on and I started seeing smoke coming from under me and was getting hot so I pulled over and found my seat was on fire ,I was 9 months pregnant at the time and feared for me and my soon to be child's life.

ON NOVEMBER 4 2014 I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKING MY HUSBAND AND MY LITTLE BOY WHERE ON THE CAR .

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH WHEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THEN 10-15 SECONDS LATER THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I DID NOT HAVE ANY TIRE BLOWOUTS OR HIT ANY OBJECTS IN THE STREET. THERE WERE NO POT HOLES OR MAN HOLES IN THE STREET WHERE MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY TWO YEAR OLD NEPHEW WAS IN A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT AND INHALED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF THE AIRBAG SMOKE AND WAS CHOKING WHICH CAUSED HIM TO VOMIT. HIS PARENTS WILL BE TAKING HIM TO HIS PEDIATRICIAN ON DECEMBER 23, 2013.

I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING FAILED OUT OF NO WHERE LOCKS UP TO THE POINT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. I READ UP ONLINE THAT THE ACURA TSX HAVE RACK AND PINION ISSUES. ACURA SHOULD RELEASE A RECALL ESPECIALLY WITH THE HIGH VOLUME THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS. I'M TERRIFIED TO EVEN DRIVE IT. BECAUSE THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. SOMEBODY CAN GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE

LITTLE TINY CRACKS HAVE APPEARED ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRES NEAR THE RIM, WHICH I BELIEVE ARE CREATED DUE TO THE TIRES BEING DRY ROTTED. DOES THIS MEAN THE TIRES ARE TOO OLD WHEN THEY WERE PUT ON THE CAR? THE CAR DEALERSHIP MAKES IT SOUND LIKE THIS IS NORMAL WEAR. *TR

ACURA TSX 2005 THE VEHICLE WAS PARKING ON 10/22/14 ON ALTA ARDEN SACRAMENTO CA. THE AIRBAGS SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THE CAR WAS PARKING WITH A/C RUNNING. I BUY THIS CAR ON FEBRUARY 2013 I'M THE SECOND OWNER THE CARFAX SHOW AN ACCIDENT ON 10/2009 FROM THE FIRST OWNER THIS MAKE THE CAR A SALVAGE CAR BUT WITH NO BIGGER DAMAGE SO I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AIR BAGS JUST COME OUT PUTTING MY FAMILY ON DAMAGE JUST FOR NOTHING. PLEASE HELP US BECAUSE IT MAY BE A RISK FOR OTHERS AND NOW I L

I WAS DRIVING NORTH BOUND HWY 6 TOWARDS COLLEGE STATION TEXAS FROM HOUSTON, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO NOT ENGAGE WHILE SHIFTING AND THEN THE VEHICLE GAVE NO POWER TO THE WHEELS ,BUT ALL SOLENIODS SEEM TO BE IN WORKING ORDER. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED FROM HEMPSTEAD WHERE IT WAS DISABLED ,AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE SAME GENERATION OF HONDA'S WITH THE SAME AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THEIR ACURA COUNTERPARTS. THE RECALL ID# 11V

INTERMITTENTLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS YET, IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO CHECK THIS OUT AND SINCE IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS, I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE TO DETERMINE THE REASON AND FIX IT. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ACURA SHOULD ADDRESS IT BEFORE IT CAUSES ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. *TR

CAR BEGINS BRAKING WHILE ACCELERATING AND STARTS SLIDING WHEN BRAKING ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE OTHER MODEL FROM THIS YEAR SUCH AS THE MDX HAVE A RECALL FOR THE VSA SYSTEM HOWEVER THE TSX DOES NOT. THE MDX RECALL FROM 05 MATCHED THE SAME ISSUES THE 05 TSX HAS.
