#4 of 104 There's some leather in the TSX by id888 Jul 10, 2003 (6:48 pm)
At least in the states, the TSX comes with leather seating surfaces. That means the perforated portions of the seats (the part that actually touches your backside) is supposed to be leather. EVERYTHING else in the car that looks like leather is probably vinyl.   Right now, I think several makers are using this approach. It turns out that leather on the curves of seats has a tendency to sag and pucker after a while.
#5 of 104 Defected leather and poor sound system by brademcee Jul 11, 2003 (9:28 am)
I have had my TSX for about 1 month.   I have the grey leather interior and from the first day I have had problems keeping the leather clean. Whenever someone sits in my car, the persons pants or belt leave discoloration on the leather. I just found it annoying to have to clean/treat the leather multiple times a month. But this last time the dye from my suit belt (which I have owned for a long time) rubbed off on the seat. I tried leather cleaner but that did not work. I took it back to the dealership and after they tried several times, they ended up eating away some of the leather.   Now 4 weeks with this car, I am forced to have my seat ripped out of my car so they can re-cover the seats. I very upset and Acura is not standing behind their car!   Anyone else have this problem?

It's is unfortunate that you are having a problem - it's one I'e never heard of. But it sounds like Acura and the dealer are standing behind the car by replacing the leather. What do you expect beyond that?

To chime in from the third TSX leather color-- parchment-- I have not had any major issues in the three weeks I have owned the car. I chose parchment since I live in a warmer clime and did not want to suffer with the ebony during our nine months of summer. We'll see how it holds up...

#8 of 104 TSX FOG LIGHTS by marc10 Jun 06, 2005 (5:02 pm)
Replying to: id888 (Jul 12, 2003 6:41 am) I want to buy oem fog lights for my tsx, so I can saver on the dealer costs. How much do they cost to install at a dealership and privately, and how do they put the fog light switch into the car? Will in the on side of the wheel or below near the stability control?

Replying to: marc10 (Jun 06, 2005 5:02 pm) I bought fog lights for my TSX. I was going to have my dad install them since he's a mechanic, but he never installed any fog lights on a TSX or any Acura before, so I had the dealer install them. I think the price total was pretty close to $500 if not slightly over. I think the lights themselves cost around $420 or so. The switch for it is mounted on the left stem on the steering wheel column for the other lights. It's basically a circular piece around that stem that you twist to turn on and off.   Good point about the oil pipe lines. Most people probably never realize that all oil companies provide the same oil and gas, let alone how many pipelines it would take to accomodate each oil company.
#10 of 104 Discoloration of Leather by chiggy45 Jul 16, 2003 (10:20 am)
I actually own a 3.5RL, and something similar happened to me. I have the parchment color leather, and one day when it was raining outside, I got wet and sat in my car to drive off. When I got home, and got out, I saw that the seats had some blue discoloration from my pants. So becareful, if it's happening w/out rain, be careful in the rain.
#11 of 104 Water on floor -- how upset should I be? by sfone Aug 08, 2003 (9:51 am)
I got my TSX July 15, and three weeks later I discovered that the right rear carpet and floormat were soaking wet. I took it to the dealer, where they discovered that plugs which keep water out of the cabin were missing. They're supposed to be checked during PDI but apparently they weren't. The saleswoman and service adviser are being very gracious and helpful, and they've pledged to make the car good as new, so I don't want to be too confrontational, but I'm wondering how upset and/or angry I should be. When I received the car, the steering wheel was off center as well, which they're also fixing, but the two problems combined make me wonder whether the car was checked at all before I received it. There was no checklist sheet for the PDI among the paperwork, something I got and kept when I last bought a new car. Any thoughts? I'd especially like to hear from one of the moderators.
#12 of 104 Seat Discoloration by automophile Nov 21, 2003 (11:21 am)
I had this problem with my '95 Mazda Millenia. I wore some new black jeans in the car and the dye rubbed off on the seats and could NEVER be removed.   I think that there is some Scotchguard for leather that should be used on the light colors.
#13 of 104 Acura Fit and Finish by kagedude Dec 19, 2003 (10:40 am)
I checked a few TSXs last night and noticed that the door/dash gap (by the vents) on the driver side is a lot wider than on the passenger side. This was the same on the 3 TSXs I checked out on the lot. I was a little stumped cuz I noticed it when I was sitting in the driver side and thought the door wasn't fully closed. I opened and shut the door again but it was the same. I then sat on the passenger side and the gap was a lot thinner. The gaps seems to be about .4 inch wide on the driver side and about .25 on the passenger side. Anyone have this on their TSXs? I wonder if this causes air to seep in. Thanks.
