thx for your reply. I, of course, will have the dealer look into this. It is not so bad that i need to make a special visit to the dealer. but, as I said, i was comparing it to my TL.... and I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on whether or not the front end of the TSX was or was not as tight as the TL.

Man i feel like i just got rip off by a Acura Dealership. I just did the 30 k maintenance and they charge me 850.00. This is what they did to my car. Transmission Fluid, Coolant Flush, Break Fluid Flush, Oil Change, Rotate and Balance Tires, Engine filter change and Cabin Filter. Can someone tell me how much this really would cost. I feel so rip off.

Sorry to tell you-but you did get ripped-off. I own a 06 tsx, bought new 11/06. I follow the maintenance minder not the mileage-my car has almost 90,000 miles. I have all the service done by an acura dealer. Under their advise I am getting the manual transmission and brake fluids changed in Nov (when the car is 3 years old) Never had a coolant or brake fluid flush (not necessary) Basically the service I have done is oil/filter change, tire rotation/balance and had the engine and cabin filters changed at approx. 26,000, 55,000 and 80,000 miles. I wait until the oil life gets to 15% and it shows a code of what service needs to be done.

I have a 2008 TSX automatic. I am currently leasing it. It has about 35,000. Ever since I got the car, whenever there is summer time, and I start my AC when I am driving, after some time, I hear this embarrasing, annoying noise that comes out of the hood. I can hear that while I am driving. It's like a siren/ knocking noise that sounds very large. I had taken the car the first 1000 miles, and the acura dealer test drove it, and nothing came on. Now, I am really annoyed by the noise. I am going there again tomorrow, and see if that noise comes "while", the technician is test driving it. They have never heard anything like this before. I am hoping that the noise comes tomorrow, so they know what it is, or what to do. Do you guys know that if this is something part of the warranty? Has this ever happened to any one? Thanks..

I bought a 2009 Acura TSX about a month ago. The steering is a bit remote and has been described in several reviews of this car. I went from a BMW to this car and will say that the BMW had a much better "on center" drive when driving at fast speeds. I am not a mechanical guy but have read the the soft steering is due to the "electronic steering" assist that this car uses. I hope this helps. Nothing may be wrong with your car you and I just need to get used to the new feel of the steering.

I do know how you feel. The first service, B-1, on my 2007 RDX at 5000 miles was $285 at the Acura stealership. After that I went to the Honda stealership one block down the road for all general service which I will continue to do on my 2010 TSX. It's much, much cheaper.

The acura dealers that I deal with are also honda dealers. The one acura dealer is actually cheaper on service than honda.
