Hi Everyone...
Just got my new 2006 Artic Blue with Navi and I love the bluetooth -- problem is a couple mornings I have conference calls while I am driving with my baby. I only need to talk a little and don't want everyone to hear him the whole time. Is there a way to mute??? I am using a cingular nokia 6102i phone.

I have the same problem too. The car won't start at the first time, but it always started the second time when i tried.
 
It all started November 06. It happened 5 times within a month. I took it to south coast acura a month ago, they said nothing wrong w/ it and unless i know which part is wrong they can't do anything about it. Come on, if i knew which part is wrong, i wouldn't need to take the car back to dealer.
 
Same thing happened again at 2 A.M. so I leave the car there didnt try to restart it again coz the south coast acura service advicer told me not to just tow it to the dealer. I did what he said, I had the car tow to Thomas Acura. Talked to service advicer name Chris Martin. They run the same test again as south coast acura, the result is the same. everything is fine nothing wrong w/ my car.
 
Chris said it's NORMAL for a TSX to take a longer time to start up. If you leave the car set there for 1~2 days when you tried to start up, you will have to hold the key a little longer, sometimes it even take up to 15~20 seconds.
 
I'm not good with cars but I know for sure it's not right to take 15~20 second to start up a car so I called the selling dealer. The service advicer whom I talked to was nice, but since I live so far from there, he said I should take it to the cloest dealer so I call Thomas Acura again and I talk to the same service advicer.
 
He sounds like he doesn't want me to take the car in to do futher check up and he even said I can go in to the dealer now and he will start up any NEW or USED car right infront of me to show me it's NORMAL to take a longer time to start up the car.
 
When I told him I would like to make an appointment to get a futher check up for my car and also get a loaner's car, he wouldn't even tell me when is the next available time.
 
Is it normal like this, I know it's not but how come they can't find out the problem, that I have to hold the key a little longer when I start up my car? it only has 14000 miles on it. I bought it brand NEW.
 
and don't go to Thomas Acura, if you wanna go dont get the service advicer name Chris Martin. Not a happy experience with him.

So sorry to hear about this. They treated me like s*** too until I wrote a letter to Acura Client Services and got a case manager. Selling dealer was Cerritos and finally Downey took my car in. After that I only spoke with the Service Manager and they HAD to take my car (plus loaner provided free). I left it at the dealer for a week, they supposedly found nothing wrong with it but found that 2004 TSX's had similar problems. So because of that they changed all the relays and electrical junk under the hood (I don't know anything about cars either). The no start issue probably happened 3 times within the last 5 months after they fixed it, so I guess I'm happy with it.
 
I bought my car new also and this happened within the first month. I couldn't prove that it was a Lemon because I couldn't record the problem on tape like the attorney had suggested. I tell all my friends DO NOT BUY ACURA!!! My new car was suppose to be my baby but it was a big let down. Another friend just bought the MDX and is having issues already. Save money and buy a LEXUS instead, I wish I did. I hope this posts helps! You have to make them take you seriously if not talk to the Manager and keep going up the chain of command.

sorry to hear of your problems with your acura. I have a 06 tsx 6spd/w nav and love it. No problems (knock on wood) It has 7,200 miles on it. My sister-in-law and her husband are huge fans of Lexus but I also have a friend that had a lexus that was one problem after another. They now have a BMW. We also own a 05 Hyundai elantra GT that now has 53,000 on it-no problems.It is too bad hyundai does not have a 4-door car with 6-speed. I would have bought that. For the money it is just as good as those high priced cars.since we keep our cars for a very long time-we are not concerned about re-sale. My good friend is a acura service manager so I know I will get excellant service for my TSX. If fact he was the one that helped me when I bought it,getting a good price.

I'd have to disagree with the dealer about it being normal for the car to take a while to start, regardless of it has sat for a couple of days.
 
From my limited and admittedly anecdotal experience with my own '04, I've never had this problem. The OEM battery is kind of weak for the car, but the car always cranks the first time, and my car routinely sits for five days at a time due to my having access to a company vehicle.
 
Hope you are able to resolve your problem.

I have to agree with you. we have had cars that sits for many days and they always start with no problems. My tsx sits for a few days to a week at a time and it always starts.

Yeah the first 3x I went in they told me it was normal. I just kept going back until they found something and a reason for why it wouldn't start.
 
It's not normal at all, they lie!
 
*waves fists at Acura* You know I still get upset when I see Acura commercials, I got a semi-lemon.

I wouldn't blame Acura, but I would blame the stealer...

sounds like a lousy service department to me. when we owned a 98 eagle talon bought new the engine light was on. We brought it back to the selling dealer and the service advisor blamed it on a loose gas cap. It would go back on and we would make sure the cap was tightened. we took it to another dealer-it was not the cap there was something else wrong with it. They fixed it under warranty. Needless to say we never went back to the selling dealer. The s.m was very rude and unpleasant.

Radio/climate control butons!! by gmaco

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??
