Hi all,
I need some help regarding replacing the damaged front bumper like i had last night when i hit an iron pole. It is badly damaged on the right side. I presume it is not repairable so can you guys suggest me some options(places) and the cost i'm looking at.
2006 Milano Red TSX.
Thanks a bunch.
AB.

Automakers are known to be conservative in signaling an empty tank. Typically, one would have at least 2 more gallons after the empty light is on. Just a story to share. In April this year, our family went to the great U.S. Southwest for a week. We rented a 2007 Jeep Cherokee Laredo which runs about 18 mpg. When the empty light was on, I estimated that we'd have another 20 miles to the next major crossroad so I don't really worry that much. When we got to that intersection, the ONLY gas station was out of gas and the next gas station would be 25 miles away.
Slightly panic, I turned off the AC, drive grandmotherly at 40 mph on a mainly level highway. Eventually we drove another 46 miles after the empty light was on, which gave us about at least 2.5 gallons reserve in the tank.

About 2 months ago, I've ran my TSX down to about around 25-30 miles till empty. When I filled up, it only took about 14.3 gallons when the pump clicked off. There wasn't anyone behind me so I decided to fill my car up to the max. It took about 5 minutes of slowly dripping the gas in the car. I topped off at 16.2 gallons before someone pulled up behind me.
The TSX suppose to have a 17.1 gallon tank and I added 16.2 gallons total. I would always go by the distance till empty instead of relying on the “reserves”. We all laughed at those poor idiots running down the hwy with a 1 gallon gas container 1/2 mile from the gas station.

Yes, My 2007 TSX had that problem. The dash was rattling/creaking near the passenger side "A" pillar. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times to have it fixed - the 3rd fix was a couple of weeks ago. For now it is quiet and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it stays quiet. The rattle/creak noise happened in my car on any road which was even slightly rough so it was happening a lot. If it comes back again I'll take it in for the 4th fix. Have you taken yours in yet? What they did for mine was to insulate the area with some kind of felt or foam tape I think.

2007 TSX (auto trans)shaking as if it is going to stall

Last Thursday near the end of my 40 mile commute I came to a stoplight which turned red so I slowed down gradually to stop, gently braking. Just as I was almost at a full stop the car began violently shuddering/shaking as if it was going to stall. No, I didn't forget to depress the clutch - I have an automatic, but I have owned many stick shift cars and the experience reminded me of times I was late depressing the clutch at a stop thus causing the car to shake and kill. Has anyone else experienced this? Might it be a transmission problem? It is definitely not a brake issue. This is about the 3rd time this has happened and it's very scary when it happens. Thanks for any input you can offer!

when my 06 tsx starting getting a slight rattle at 19,400 miles I told the service advisor about it. fixed on the 1st try-knock-on-wood- they made some kind of adjustment-no felt or foam tape needed.

My 2007 TSX (leased on 3/2007) has only 2100 miles on it is already squeaking too when I apply the brakes.
No lights or anything has come on to indicate issue(s).
Anyone have any insights if this is normal or if the dealer can do something about it?

I have a dumb question, and it seems like I am the only one who is having problem. I just recently LEASED, a 2008 Acura TSX with Navigation. Car is built in JAPAN 100%. However, I currently have almost 2000 Miles. Whenever I am driving with the "AC", on there seems be getting some kind of a "KNOCKING", noise coming from the engine/hood. I read the manual, and only way the noise should be coming is IF I DON'T USE PREMIUM 91 or higher Octange Gas. But, I have been using PREMIUM gas at any gas station. Any reasons or any ideas, what's going on? I will be getting the car back to the dealer to check it out, on my first oil change. In that case, 2 more questions-- I have the navigation, would that display any TRAFFIC patterns in the GPS? I thought it does, maybe I don't know how to set it up. When should I do my first OIL CHANGE? Thanks everyone...

if it were a gas problem the knocking would occur when the a/c is off or on. the tsx does not have traffic patterns in their nav. there is an oil life indicator. i usually wait until it gets to at least 10% but with my driving it is more like 5% or less. i have an 06 6spd/ w nav, bought new 11.17.06 with almost 24,000 miles. love it.

NJ2pa2nc: Thanks for the feeback. The last time I was getting the knocking noise was this past Sat& Sun. I went to the Dealer, and with prompt response a Tech drove the car with me today, and no noise came, with/without the AC. Tech stated, no visible failure to anything, car runs NORMAL. But, I know for sure, that I will get that noise, which I HOPE NOT TOO.. Anyway's, let see what happens....
Thanks.. I'll get the Oil Change when it reaches around 10% or somewhre..Thanks...It sucks that Navigation doesn't have the traffic updates...Thanks..
