Acura TSX Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Much better service than the other local dealers. |

| Oct | 2008 | 3000 | 0 | The trunk: I can hear a cranky noise from the right-hand side of the lid when I lift it up or try to close it. Front cup holder: It is not that easy to open the lid. When I push on the lid it sometimes gets stuck in the middle of swinging open. I came by the next Friday, which was October 17th. The dealership gave me a new front cup holder, which is they had ordered for me last week. On the driver’s door, there is a distinct gap between the door interior panel and the door itself. I could easily look through the gap and see some electric circuits inside. The motor of my 2009 TSX automatic makes a rattling/knocking/pinging noise coming from the front around 2000-2500 rpm when accelerating. |
