2023 Acura TLX

I had an awful noise that accompanied a sticky/ inconsistent brake pedal feel and braking concerns. upon contacting multiple dealerships and honda corporate is was told everything is working as designed. i filed a claim with ncds and was awarded a repair. when contacting the dealership and manufacturer they did another inspection and said it's working as designed and there was nothing to repair. now in the news they are recalling approximately 250,000 hondas/acura vehicles for a safety issue with the brake pedal. there is no information on what the recall is supposed to entail. my vin is still not associated with the recall. this is a safety issue that the manufacturer has been ignoring for a long time now.

Transfer case

Transfer case documented as leaking on 3-22-2025/ 35,846 miles while doing regular oil change in my driveway. brought to the dealership and they confirmed the transfer case needed to be replaced. if the transfer case went during operation, it could have lead to a dangerous situation with loss of power and control to the rear wheels. problem was confirmed after dealership performed visual inspection. component was not inspected by police, insurance, or others. no warning lamps, just accumulating liquid on the under-body panels and seeping from the gasket. the transfer case was replaced on 11apr2025 with the same part number: 29000-5yk-060. i asked if this would happen again since there was no revision to the part number, the dealership was unable to reply.

Well, since i purchased the 2023 acura tlx tech pckg, "it's a nightmare" everytime i drive it , i'm not enjoying it at all! i can't keep the car to go between the 2 lines! it just keeps going zigzag, i keep telling myself that maybe because "it's a brand new car" give it more time for adjustment...! but it's getting worse and worse to the point that when it's raining, i have to pray to get home safely!

My tlx tech 2023 lost complete power while i pulled up to a busy intersection on a dark and rainy day. as a puled to stop and my idle stop enabled the car was fine. once i tried to accelerate the car immediately went into park from drive. all of the controls started to blink and the car powered down like a computer system who was on 0%. i completely lost power, so that i could not even put my hazard lights on to indicate to the busy oncoming traffic that i was in danger. when the police arrived, he even tried to shift to neutral to help me roll out of the street, but the car was inoperable. i had to remain in the car due to the freezing rain and sleet. the emergency services called an emergency tow to get me out of the street and i was then towed to the nearest acura dealership to get it reviewed. the service department indicated that they had known about the idle start/stop issue, but not on my specific model. i had my car inspected just the day before at the same dealership and there were no issues that had come up. i am concerned that this is very dangerous and leaves me in a vulnerable state.
