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

Replying to: bluejetta02 (May 26, 2009 2:03 pm) The problem here isn't the car, or Acura. The problem is the dealer. It never pays to take stuff like this personally, but the guy has obviously identified you as a sucker. He's suckering you on price, and now he's suckering you on the condition of the car. Here's what I would do: (1) Do research on Edmunds and elsewhere and try to come up with what you think the car should actually cost. Remember to evaluate the condition of the car accurately: factor in things like the crappy seats. (2) That number needs to reflect what the CAR should cost, not what you think you can afford. (3) Contact several dealers on the internet asking for offers on a comparable car. (4) If you like, contact the sales manager at this dealership. Tell him you're not happy with your interaction with the sales guy, and that you've decided to buy your car elsewhere, but you'll give them one more chance to earn your business, by accepting an offer on car X and (price you have determined in advance), take it or leave it. If he says no, say "Have a nice day" and give up on that dealership. From what I can tell, Edmunds says that a 2007 Acura in "Average" condition with 25,000 miles should be about $20,700 in dealer retail. No wonder the salesman is willing to slag off his product. He'd pocket an additional $6k of pure profit off of your ignorance. Best of luck. |

Hi All! I have a 2008 tsx, with navi with about 34,100 miles on it. Only services that I have been doing is Acura Oil Changes, and non Acura- Wheel balancing, Tire Rotation, and Allignment. I want to know what kind of filters do I have to change at this point, and how? I haven't changed any filters except when the car goes for the oil filter changes for engine oil service. How can I change the filters, if I wanted to do it on my own? Thanks!
