#126 of 364 2009 TSX - Loud Engine? by dianap999 Sep 29, 2008 (9:00 am)
Hi - I just purchased a 2009 TSX a week ago and I love it. My question is this. I noticed that when I first start the car each time, for the first 10-15 seconds or so, the engine sounds loud, then levels off and becomes quieter. It sounds almost as though I am stepping on the gas pedal while I start the car.    Has anyone else noticed this? Is this normal?    I thought I read something in the owners manual last week that said there was something that causes the engine to be a bit louder when first started - but I can't find it now.    Any feedback would be appreciated. (My next step will be to contact the dealer service department, but I thought I'd try to see if anyone else experienced the same issue first.)    Thanks.

She will start the car, and it will sound like she is pushing on the pedal. only lasts about 15-20 seconds. Other VW Jetta's have done this on their lot too. I am assuming this is a way to get the engine warmer faster. The Acura apparently has taken this feature into their models as well. I also would assume it helps the engine, that they the would put this option on their cars.   I would still ask the dealer about the feature to atleast see what it is called. It does this every time she starts the car. Normal.   I am a little suprised no one else has said anything about this.... Anyone else have this on their new 09 TSX.

Replying to: bvdj84 (Sep 30, 2008 6:33 am) My 09 TSX has the same issue too, but I do not worry about it. Most car in winter does similar thing.   I feel the transition with light throttle from first gear to second gear is not that smooth, I can feel it, does any one else feel that?

Replying to: haidongh (Sep 30, 2008 8:13 am) I really want a TSX! It looks like alot of fun! It sorta reminds me of a Jetta. I am really thinking of leasing one instead of the Accord. Because this would be even more fun.
#130 of 364 Anyone hate their 09 TSX?? by tanliz Oct 15, 2008 (5:24 pm)
Traded my 06 TSX for the 09 and was the worst mistake I could have made. The 09 feels cheap, handles poorly, makes a wheezy noise going up hills and shifting feels sloppy. Mine also has an odometer problem that nobody can get to the bottom of. I have complained to Acura and they twisted my words to say that I love the car and am dissatisfied with the dealer when the exact opposite is true. Total piece of junk. My second and last Acura purchase. I cannot wait to get rid of this car. Replies to this message: nj2pa2nc (Oct 16, 2008 3:42 am) bvdj84 (Oct 16, 2008 7:42 am)

Replying to: tanliz (Oct 15, 2008 5:24 pm) almost traded my 06 tsx in for the 09 model but decided not too. I love my 06, bought new 11/17/06. It now has 63,523 problem free miles. Still has the original OEM tires but will be replaced before xmas. The last time I was at dealer for service on 9/22 they told me under ideal conditions my tires would last to at least 70,000 miles. I get them rotated and balanced every 6,000 miles and check the tire pressure regularly.

#133 of 364 TSX Leather Seat problems by kcellis Oct 17, 2008 (6:05 am)
We bought a '08 TSX about four months ago and LOVE it !!!   The only problem we have is ... the front leather seats have started to wear abnormally. This has occurred on both front seats. On the side upper panel closest to the door.   I was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything like this??   Thanks! Replies to this message: nj2pa2nc (Oct 17, 2008 8:34 am)

Replying to: kcellis (Oct 17, 2008 6:05 am) I had the seat covering replaced by the dealer under warranty due to a defect.
