Hi, I own a 2004 tsx and I've been experiencing a very odd problem. This first occured maybe about 1 month ago....I was driving down the road and kept noticing a flash in the corner of my eye...I didn't notice anything really and assumed it was the sun rays reflecting off the dash... This event kept repeating itself until one day I looked and DID notice something: my dash board lights were completetly shut off!! The odd thing is that my music was still playing.. When I mean dash board I mean the whole center console that contains : Clock (very top), radio and temperature adjustments. everything just...shut off. I tried adjusting my contrast but it was already at MAX and my driver-side dashboard was still on. (guages) I also tried turning off my car and back on...nothing. The light eventually came back on but ever since this has been happening...it shuts off, then comes back on...sometimes it last 10 seconds, sometimes up to 10 minutes... I have studied it and found no relation between this problem and...the temperature in the car,or bumps on the road, or the time I had been driving the car for...not relation what so ever. It just happens at random times. Can anyone help??? I'm afraid this one of those problems that will cost me an arm and leg because no one will know what it is and the dealership will spend hours trying to figure out and charge me for it! Help?

With the exception of oil changes and air filters, I haven't done any routine maintenance to my '06 TSX. I read the manual, but couldn't find a mileage chart for suggested maintenance. Should I just wait for the dashboard reminders to pop up?

Normally, I leave my sunroof cover open to get the light in. Lately, I have noticed there is a lot of wind noise coming in when I am going over 40. It basically sounds like a window is cracked open a little bit. When I close the cover, the sound goes away. Any one else having this problem? Any ideas what I can do to fix it? Thanks! |

I purchased the TSX in Feb of 09. Shortly then after heard a rattle/pinking from the engine area. When I returned to the dealership they told me it was bad gas and suggested to use Mobil premium. ( I work for a major Oil Company,and know my gasoline. I have been using 92/92 octane.) But I went along with there suggestion just to help eliminate any possibilities. After three tank full of Exxon/Mobil premium 93 octane the noise continue. I again returned to the dealer. They then suspected the exhaust piping that connected to the manifold and replaced the piping and gasket. The noise continued. I contacted the Acura customer service center. They stated that they would work with the dealer ship to help resolve this issue. According to Acura, (you'll enjoy this) "no one else has complained about the noise." After many phone calls back and forth I was told that the noise is normal for this vehicle. They had me drive 2 loaner cars. One made the noise the other did not. I took the car to my mechanic who is a former Honda certified mechanic. He believes the noise could be coming from the torque converter. Honda had problems in the past with a rattle coming from the torque converter. There was no fix for the rattle.

I test drove a 2007 TSX over the weekend. I noticed the driver's seat leather looked very worn and cracked. I asked the salesman about it and he said all TSX's after 2006 are known to have the problem of the leather cracking or becoming worn. Any of you noticed this in your TSX? Is this a common problem? Thanks
