2017 Acura ILX problems

“I have a recall on my Acura 2017 ILX. I called Bergstrom Acura Appleton in Wisconsin to make an appointment. Ashley said it would take about 2 hours. Trying to get a loaner car out of her was like pulling teeth. A week before service would have taken place, she called back and said that there was a diagnostic fee with the recall. I tried to retrain her about manufacturing problems are the dealership not mine. She would not budge. Don’t know what they are holding over this poor girl to get her to act in such a unprofessional, incompetent, undignified manner.”

“My 2017 Acura ILX makes a loud clunk, and shifts extremely hard when coming or coasting to a stop. 1-2 gear seems to be the only time this issue arises. This issues creates startling reaction from the driver due to the loud clunk and force of the shift in gears, as well as loss of confidence in the vehicles ability to safely come stop without issues. Reproducing the issue is difficult because the issue usually occurs in traffic in 1-2 gears and test driving it around the block is not sufficient enough to experience hard shift/clunk. I was told it may be the rear differential bushing. Once they checked that, they were able to rule out the possible bushing issue. There are no codes being shown, and no other issues present before or clunk/jamming of the gears. This issue began 4-5 months after purchasing the vehicle from A Honda/Acura Dealer Washington in Dec 2020”

“The contact owns a 2017 Acura ILX. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed, and there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that parts were not available for the repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V859000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.”

“Hello, I recently bought this used car. Its a 2017 Acura ILX with fairly low miles ( 85k ). After the 2nd night of having it, the alarm started going off in the middle of the night and all the lights were flickering in the dashboard. The car wouldn't start so I had to jump it in the morning. It did jump and I drove it to the local store for a battery test. The battery was fine. I thought the issue was resolved until it happened again and again. I began to notice a pattern that it was happening when the car wasn't driven for a few days at a time. This means something in the car was constantly drawing power, even when off. After doing some investigation, it seems there is a parasitic draw happening. The following YouTube video shows similar issues on Honda / Acura models: [XXX] , Honda issued a Service Bulletin only for the 2017-2019 Ridegline: [XXX] , but this same Keyless Entry / TPMS module was used in Acura as well. I asked Honda to take a look at this Manufacturing defect, causing corrosion on the module because it wasnt properly coated at the factory. They said I would need to contact the NHTSA. I checked my module and sure enough, it has the same defect…”

“225/40r18 tires has a splitting on side wall it’s impossible to see unless the split location on the ground I tried to talk to the manufacturer but they don’t have a way to connect them. I have replaced one tire it has same problem tire shop noticed it they said they can put it back on the car now I have the other side same issue”

“I have taken my vehicle into the repair shop several times to conclude that it might be my transmission. After finally taking into the right mechanic, I have found out that it is a fuel pump system issue. I know these are recalled for 2018 but this is something that they also stated 2017 Acura ILX have had issues with as well I’m having to come out of pocket $1300 to get this repair, it has stalled my vehicle. I’m not able to fully press the gas when pulling out in fear that I will not be able to complete the transfer that you guys may want to look into.”
