r/AcuraTLX

Hi all, not sure if it’s a transmission problem or SH-awd?

Lately I’ve been feeling the power on the back wheels are kinda off, but i decided to take a look at the dashboard and mostly the time the car always show 3 line on the back wheels and 5 in the front ones,
Anyone have experience the same problem?
Here a video of the dashboard

Much appreciated the help and support!
Thank you all!

Edit- Aspec

Tuning a 2022 TLX Type S

Has anybody here had theirs tuned? I'm thinking about KTunerFlash V2 Touch. Would it be a bad idea to do that to a well-maintained 80k-mile car? What I'm wanting out of the tune is to cut the 0-60, and a more aggressive sound.

I've been Googling but I'm missing something. Is it not an option to pay a shop to tune it, instead of me buying my own KTunerFlash V2 Touch? It sounds like I buy my own KTunerFlash, use the built-in stage 0 and stage 1 maps. Then if I want to, I'd buy other custom maps from wherever I want. I do all the work myself, and paying less for a shop to use their equipment isn't an option. Do I have that right? Should I even consider any other maps if I don't plan to mod any further than the basics (e.g. cats, pipes, intake)?

Tlx gen 1 - obd port lock

Any one have one of these on your car. Feedback please?
Long story short, passenger window on my 18 Tlx had shattered. I found it out early in the am. Had driven the car previous day and parked it there in the evening. A car was parked on the left and it never moved. I had the window replaced at Safelite and the technician who replaced the window said he owns this car and highly recommended getting this port as these cars are known to get stolen or broken into often. Looking at the pic on my window he said it seems like someone tried to break it on purpose

What is this noise??

2022 Acura tlx a spec awd
Car is making a creaking/snapping noise in the front end when driving at very low speeds , seems to be more present when the road is not leveled or uneven
Steering rack and gearbox have been replaced as well as all control arms and both struts in the front.. the noise is still present. Noise will also present itself upon takeoff from a dead stop as well as coming to a dead stop the car will creak/snap.
Any ideas on what this could be?

Wind deflectors

This may piss some people off but why do so many people in the Acura/Honda community put wind deflectors on their cars?
I understand that it serves a functional purpose but ever since I got my Tlx I’ve seen so many in person and online with these, and in my opinion they don’t look that great.

Camera Malfunction?

Anyone know how to fix this or clear these warnings? I’m assuming the camera is failing if anyone has any other ideas please let me know. How much would it cost to fix this issue?

Parking Pawl

Hi everyone, I’ve posted before and my issue is getting worse. I want to know if it’s possible to fix.

I have a 2015 TLX with 159k miles on it. Last year i occasionally got the “Transmission Problem apply Parking Brake” problem.

Now it’s coming on almost every time I drive. The worst part is occasionally as I park it won’t let me put the car in Park. Or rather it won’t register it’s in park. I can hear a subtle click as I cycle through the gears. It takes about 20 minutes sometimes of me cycling through gears for it to finally register.

Any thoughts. The error code is related to the parking pawl. Is this fixable? What should I tell a technician? Acura wanted $9k to put a new transmission in, but that was a year ago. I think that’s overkill.

Thank you all!

‘25 Acura TLX A-spec

Just got a ‘25 Acura A-Spec for $41.5k! I’ve been looking around for aftermarket cat backs, but it seems aftermarket parts in general are non-existent. I do plan on getting the underbody aero spoiler though. Any other recommendations?

Any Volvo S60 love?

What the heck... Thought I'd ask if the TLX crew appreciate the S60. My 2 favorite sedans are the TLX and the S60. If I didn't get this, I would have gotten that. 😎

Why does my TLX not unblock after remote start?

Sometimes when I remote start my vehicle. I walk up to reach and open the door, but it won’t unlock. I’ve only been successful in unlocking my car after a remote start maybe a handful of times. But what am I doing wrong. I lock the car twice then hold down remote start. I remember doing this for my pilot/lexus IS/honda civic hatch.

Mod suggestions/parts identification

Hey there! I own a '22 Type S, All black, and was wondering if there's any advice anyone could provide me with in terms of mods, I'm not a very big " car guy" so please excuse my lack of knowledge, is there any parts I can install to make it sound better specifically, without breaking the bank and creating more maintenance/wear and tear issues, I'm not super wealthy and do not want to generate more stress on my vehicle...that being said is there any mods I can put on, to sound better without causing said issue? I'm considering an Oil catch can as well!

Also can anyone identify this bumper/diffuser and light set up?

Bumper Damage

Car in front of me drove over something brown, I think it was a piece of wood, and their tires popped it up and hit my bumper at about 60mph. Not much I can about it sadly. I’m extremely careful with my car I just couldn’t swerve out of the way in time.

Rear center jack point: 2nd generation TLX A-Apec

Looking online, it seems like this is the area to put a floor jack to jack up the entire rear. But it seems weird that this piece comes down so much and is mounted on a slanted surface. Can this sheet metal really take half the weight of this heavy car?

Is it correct that to jack up the whole rear of the car - to put jack stands on the frame rail jack points - I would put my floor jack lift pad right on this piece that comes down?

Thank you.
