I OWN A 2007 ACURA TSX. THERE IS A SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN THAT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT ACURA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE, BUT AS OF YET DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. MANY OWNERS HAVE BLOGGED AND POSTED COMMENTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. I AM SURPRISED THAT ACURA HAS NOT DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL:POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK FOR MY 2007 ACURA TSX. CONTACTED ACURA CLIENT SERVICES FOR NEAREST AUTHORIZED MECHANIC.

THEIR WAY COST ME TIME AND RESOURCES AND WASTES …

I HAVE A 2007 ACURA TSX AUTOMATIC AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN START TO MOVE AGAIN. ACURA HAS STATED THAT ALL OF THEIR TRANSMISSIONS MAKE THIS CLICKING NOISE ALL THE TIME, HOWEVER IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS TO DO THIS AND NO OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED MAKES THIS NOISE. I'VE ALSO DONE MY RESEARCH AND ALL ACURA TSX AUTOMATIC OWNERS FROM THE 04-08 MODEL YEARS EXPERIENCE THIS CLICKING PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A BAD SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND BUSHING. SOME OWNER…
