When driving my 2004 tsx I noticed a Strange burning smell inside the car. Later when I turned my lights on I noticed that the buttons for the radio and climate control were not lighting up, strangly only the buttons are not lit. The display for the radio/climate control are lit. Is this a short or is it just a fuse??

2007 TSX - dashboard rattle/creak by ihammer

Hi fellow TSX owners,
I got a 2007 TSX last month and have about 1700 miles on it. I commute 80 miles per day round trip to work and the last two days when I've left the garage at work to drive home I've experienced a creaking or rattling sound in the dashboard which sounds like it's coming from somewhere near the "A" pillar on the passenger side. It is worse when I accelerate and it continues for the entire drive across the city and then for several miles on the freeway. About 45 minutes to an hour into the commute home, the noise stops. When it is happening it is very irritating and needless to say the drive is no fun at all - just stressful. It can even be heard over the radio. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this in his/her TSX and if so were you able to have Acura fix it? Thanks in advance for any replies!
  
PS. Aside from the dashboard rattle/creak the car is very nice and I love driving it, but I won't live with a brand new $30,000 car with a rattling dashboard. No new car regardless of the price should have a rattling dashboard.

My 2006 a.s. TSX auto has 1100 miles on it. I have no rattles at all, but my 2004 Accord V6 developed a squeak/rattle in the passenger A-pillar after 5 or 6 months.The dealer popped it open, glued it and put in a small shim. That was 2 years ago and no problem since! Try getting your dealer to respond the way my Honda dealer did. (Victoria BC, Canada).

I had the exact same problem on my early 2004 TSX when I first got it. I brought it to the dealer, and they were already "aware" of this problem. Your dealer should be able to fix it easily.

I had the same thing happen to my 2004 TSX (minus the burning odor). The dealer first replaced a fuse, which did nothing and then replaced the entire module. This included the CD player, so make sure you remove your CDs before going to the dealer. Otherwise it will take several weeks to get them back. Since then all has been well.

I experienced the same problem with my 2004 TSX in late February. Everything still works on the radio and climate control (including the display), with the exception of the lights. My car is out of warranty so I am reluctant to take it to the dealer for service on this issue. Any suggestions?

They (American Honda/Acura) have extended the warranty on the Audio-HVAC regarding this issue (Display is Dim or Dark and/or panel buttons not illuminating)to 7 years or 100,000 miles. The Transportation Service Bulletin sent to dealers is #04-021 and is dated January 23, 2007. Call your dealer to verify or wait for the extended warranty notice to show up in your mail. To check on TSB's for the TSX go to the ACURA-TSX.COM website... then go to Frequently Asked Questions....TSBs recalls and other known issues. You could also print the TSB from this website and bring it to your dealer.

Creak/Rattle by dynatsx1

I know there's been a million posts on different rattles and creaks in the TSX, but I haven't read anything on the problem I'm seeing. I guess it can best be described as a creak (similar to the sound of stepping on an old wood floor), and it seems to be coming from the dash or maybe from the windshield. It only happens when I drive on rough roads or over large bumps or potholes. Anyone else have this problem?

TSX Fuel Tank Size? by zacri
Apr 05, 2007 (7:08 am)

Have any of you heard of this before? The TSX (mine is an '06) is supposed to have a 17 gallon tank, right? Then why can I never get more than 13-14 gallons in at a time? Today I filled up when the needle was on "E" and the Range Gauge was down to "0", but I was only able to put 13.992 gallons in the tank. Is there a 3-gallon reserve or something? Is everyone else able to put 17 gallons in their tank?

I am trying to change a couple settings on my '07 TSX, like how long the interior lights stay on etc. Following the manual, but get Unknown Driver, Customize impossible message. I use the key fob to unlock doors before trying, manual says I will get that message when I open door with key, but using the fob so it should work. any ideas appreciated.
