2012 ACURA TL Engine Problems

They changed the originality milleage of the car and sold it too expensive

I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT APRIL OF 2019 WITH 59920 MILES AND THE RECALL WAS NOT FIXED NOW THEY ASKED ME TO DO A TEST TO BRING THE CAR BACK AND FOURTH ONLY TO RUN UP THE MILES AND TIME FRAME TO NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT HAS OCCURRED FROM THE RECALL NOT BEING FIXED THERE WAS ALSO A LAWSUIT DOCUMENT SEND TO ME HOME STATING THEY WOULD FIX THE RECALL FOR FREE AND AT THIS POINT MY CAR COULD BRING DOWN ANY DAY I AM A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY THEY ARE SELLING PEOPLE DEFECTED CAR / LEMONS WITH OUT CONSEQUENCE AND NOT FIXING THE RECALL BEFORE THEY ARE BOUGHT. *TR

CAR HAS BEEN EXCESSIVELY USING OIL SINCE I BOUGHT IT. HAVE IT DOCUMENTED BY THE DEALER WHEN TAKING IT FOR OIL CHANGES ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION. CAMPAIGN IS RELEASED FOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND I AM TOLD DON'T QUALIFY B/C NOW I SUPPOSED HAVE THREE OIL LEAKS. I HAVE NEVER SAW OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. CALLED ACURA CLIENT SERVICES, USELESS. DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL. FEEL THEY JUST RELEASED IT TO SHOW THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING WHEN, THEY AREN'T HELPING THE OWNERS. NOW ENGINE HAS A TICK TO IT AT 120,000 AND I AM TOLD MY REAR CAM SHAFT AND ROCKER ARMS ARE DETERIORATING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE. IT WAS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. MY REPAIR FILE IS INTO TWO FILE FOLDERS. I PAID FOR RELIABILITY AND THAT IS NOT WHAT I GOT. VERY DISAPPOINTED - THIS WAS A HORRIBLE ENGINE DESIGN, NO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 ACURA TL. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ALSO, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. ACURA FIRST (16 HIGHLAND AVE, RT 6 SEEKONK, MA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE FOR 8 MIN AT 70 MPH ON A 70 DEGREE MORNING WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE ENGINE LOST ALL COMPRESSION. THE CAR HAS 98,000 MI. I CALLED ACURA CLIENT SERVICES AND THEY STATED IT HAD TO BE DIAGNOSED BY ACURA DEALER. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A BLOWN ENGINE AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT HAPPENED. I CALLED ACURA AGAIN AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I STATED SOMETHING UNUSUAL HAS HAPPENED AND IT SHOULD BE RESEARCHED TO UNDERSTAND WHY. ENGINES SHOULDN'T JUST FAIL. ACURA STATED THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS BEFORE THEY WOULD REVIEW THE CLAIM. I PAID THE DEALER TO TEST. THE DEALER FILLED THE SYSTEM WITH FLUIDS AND SET THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE....

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION WHEN THERE ARE NO LEAKS DETECTED UNDERNEATH. THIS PAST WEEK MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL WHEN I AM ONLY 50% THROUGH THE USE UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE.

OIL CONSUMPTION, ENGINE KNOCKING AND CAR FELT OUT OF POWER SPECIALLY IN LOW IN SPEED. FEW TRIPS TO ACURA BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I END UP GETTING RID OF THE CAR AND AFTER FEW MONTHS I BOUGHT OTHER TL SAME YEAR AND MILES AND UNFORTUNATELY HAVE A SAME PROBLEM. ITS USING 70 PERCENT OF OIL WITH IN A MONTH AND AROUND 12000 MILES...SO I HAVE TO FILL UP OIL BUT MAJOR ISSUE IS WHILE I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME CAR MOVE VERY SLOW WITH ENGINE KNOCKING SOUND AND FEW TIMES GOT HONKED BECAUSE OF THE CAR COMING BEHIND ME WHEN YOU JUST MADE A RIGHT TURN AND ALSO WHEN TAKING OF FROM STOP SIGN OR AT THE LIGHT IT FELT SO SLUGGISH .THIS IS MY 6TH TL BUT I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN LAST 4 BECAUSE MAY BE OLDER MODEL...

ON 7/20/2017, I WAS DRIVING ON I-680 S TOWARDS FREMONT CA. I WAS DRIVING ROUGHLY 70 MPH. WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO PASS A CAR, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. I HIT THE GAS PADDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND IT DIDN'T WORK. AS I FELT A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER, I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK, AND THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT POPPED UP. I HAD MY INSURANCE TOWED MY CAR TO OAKLAND ACURA, AS I DID AN OIL CHANGE THERE ON 7/19/2017. AFTER AN INSPECTION, OAKLAND ACURA INDICATED THAT THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE DOES NOT OPEN AND CLOSE NORMALLY. A VALUE ADJUSTMENT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I FELT THAT IT'S PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ALL THE VALVES TO BE...

CAR WENT IN FOR 100K SERVICE. VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS ALSO NEEDING VALVE ADJUSTMENT. WHILE VALVES WERE BEING ADJUSTED A BAD CAMSHAFT WAS IDENTIFIED AS CAUSE OF NOISE. I PAID TO HAVE CAMSHAFT REPLACED BUT HAVE BEEN IN AUTOMOTIVE FIELD 50 YEARS SO I KNOW UNLESS THERE IS A PROBLEM THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR ITEM.. I ASKED FOR THE OLD PARTS AFTER THE REPAIR. INSPECTION OF THE OLD CAMSHAFT SHOWED ONLY ONE LOB HAD UNUSUAL WEAR WHICH AGAIN IS UNUSUAL. I DID A ROCKWELL HARDNESS TEST ON THE SUSPECT LOBE AND THE VERY NEXT LOBE AND FOUND A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN HARDNESS. THE NON WORN LOB WAS 47.9C AND THE FAILED LOB MEASURED 42C. I LOOKED ON LINE AND NOTICED MANY OTHER ACURA/HONDA OWNERS HAD POSTED MESSAGES ABOUT THE SAME FAILURES. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GAVE THEM THIS SAME INFORMATION. ABOUT THREE WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED...

MY VEHICLE IS BURNING 1QT OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THAT AMOUNTS TO 3QTS EVERY 3000MILES. WITH NO REMEDY IN SITE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO FAULTY PISTON RINGS. MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM ACURAZINE WEBSITE HAS DISCUSSION THREADS ABOUT THIS DEFECT.

ENGINE IS MISSING A PISTON RING ON ONE OF THE CYLINDERS WAS OVERLOOKED IN FACORY. CAUSING CAR TO CONSUME 0VER 80% OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION HAS NOW LED TO 2 ENGINE REPLACEMENTS (THIS IS THE CARS 3RD ENGINE, ORIGINAL PLUS 2 REPLACEMENTS). I HAVE HAD 3 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST (OCT), ALL SHOWING THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT CONSUMPTION. THE LOCAL ACURA DEALERSHIP (AUTO NATION ACURA OF SPOKANE (ANA)), IS UNABLE OF BEING TRUSTED AND INCAPABLE OF ANY SIGNIFICANT REPAIR SO I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING TO ANOTHER ACURA DEALERSHIP OVER 700 MILES AWAY FOR HONEST AND QUALITY WORK (ANA BOTCHED THE 2ND OCT AS THEY KNOWINGLY ADDED OIL RIGHT BEFORE MY 2ND TRIP TO THE OTHER DEALER). THANKFULLY FOR ME I CHECK MY OIL EVERY FILL UP AS REQUIRED BY THE OCT AND MARK IT'S LEVEL. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, THIS NEGATED THE SECOND TEST (EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD A SIGNIFICANT LOSS, ANA OF SPOKANE DENIED TOPPING IT OFF). I THEN HAD TO DO THE 3RD OCT, AND IN 3 DAYS PUT THE REQUIRED MINIMUM...

ENGINE HAS A PINGING NOISE

2012 ACURA TL SH-AWD TECH. BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT I WAS HAVING TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 2,500 - 3,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NEITHER DEALER COULD FIND A PROBLEM. IN MARCH 2014, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN ACURA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I HAD NO OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ERROR MESSAGES EVER ALERTED ME. BEGINNING OF APRIL 2015 (MILEAGE WAS 33K), I STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE BETWEEN IDLE AND 2,500 RPM'S. AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID I HAD ONLY A QUART OF OIL. THEY PUT ME ON AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. JUST OVER A MONTH LATER AND 1,900 MILES, MY CAR WAS AGAIN OIL LESS. NO LEAKS EVER DISCOVERED. I WAS TOLD I WAS BURNING OIL. 1...

AFTER OWNING MY 2012 ACURA TL FOR ROUGHLY 2YRS, I'VE BECOME CONCERNED WITH THE ENGINE WORKMANSHIP. ACCELERATION SEEMS TO BE AT A LOSS BETWEEN 30-45MPH IN BETWEEN GEAR CHANGES. IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. YOU HAVE TO EITHER LET UP ON THE ACCELERATION OR INCREASE YOUR SPEED TO AVOID THAT ANNOYING HESITATION. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS LIFTER/VALVE NOISE. THE NOISE OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING, INTERMITTENTLY THOUGH. ALTHOUGH IT IS EMBARRASSING DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE TL LOOKS AND HAVE IT SOUND LIKE AN OLD CHEVY WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, I HATE IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE NOISE, OF COURSE. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS FINE. I TOLD THEM SPECIFICALLY I BELIEVED THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM LIFTER/VALVE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY POOR GAS SELECTION. I EXPLAINED TO...

I PURCHASED MY 2012 ACURA TL IN MAY 2013. IN JUNE I TOOK IN BECAUSE IT KEPT STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND MORE SO WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. I KEPT TAKING IT BACK FOR THE SAME THING OVER THE PASS YEAR AND KEPT GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE.. WE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAR. THE PROBLEM GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND IN FEBRUARY OF 2014, IT STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND COASTED AND THEN PICKED BACK UP. I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AND STILL THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AGAIN I TOOK IT BACK AND STILL THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHILE WAS DRIVING ON VACATION TO WILLIAMSBURG VA WITH MY FAMILY AT 65/70MPH, THE CAR JERKED US ABOUT 3 TIMES AND THEN SLOWED DOWN WITH NO HOPE FOR ACCELERATION,...

PURCHASED MY NEW 2012 SH-AWD ACURA TL ADVANCE IN MARCH OF 2012. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 100 MILES WHEN PURCHASED AND CURRENTLY HAS 5K MILES (JANUARY 2013). THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 80 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE FLAT SPOTTED OR WHEELS ARE OUT OF BALANCE. THE WHEELS AND TIRES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AS OK. THE DEALER CLASSIFIED THIS VIBRATION AS A "VEHICLE CHARACTERISTIC." I'M WORRIED IT IS THE SIGN OF A MAJOR ISSUE THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH. *TR
