Acura TSX Reliability Report - Please Participate

[mkaresh]

The latest Car Reliability Survey results were recently posted. Repair rates, in terms of repair tripis per 100 vehicles per year:

2007: very small sample size, but significant that no repairs reported

2006: 24, better than average

2005: 81, about average, very small sample size

2004: 63, about average, maybe a bit better; small sample size

A big thanks to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May, August, and November. Additional participants would be very helpful. Only for the 2006 did we have a sufficient sample size. So the other results are asterisked and visible only to members on the site itself.

We now have a separate results page for each model. The one for the TSX:

it's not unusual for the brakes to squeek. I have Hawk ceramic pads and even these squeak under certain conditions. The real concern would be if they always squeak, no matter what condition (summer, winter, etc.) and especially if the steering wheel vibrates while braking (warped rotors).

We've updated the results for the TSX to include owner experiences through March 2009. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2007: 15, better than average, but very small sample size

2006: 17, better than average

2005: 58, about average, very small sample size, actual repair rate probably lower based on other years

2004: 34, better than average

A big thank you everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Hello all. My 05 TSX Auto has 143k on her as of today. I did an oil change just recently and was surprised at the amount of oil that came out. Now this is my second oil change and I tend to be very meticulous. When I drain the oil, I drain both the oil pan and oil filter for 10 minutes. To the point there is no dripping. I then open the oil cap to release any possible pressure and wait a few more minutes, nothing ever really comes out at this point but its just to make sure all the oil is out. I then put oil plug back in, along with a new filter, and fill her up with new oil. I recycle my oil, so I pour the used oil into the 5quart jug, which i clean out with a little gas while i wait for the oil to drain. Today when I filled it up from the oil pan, it filled to just under the 5 quart mark. I find this to be pretty impressive. A lot of miles but almost no burn off. My previous vehicles both burned about .5 to .75 of a quart every 3k miles. The one burning .75quarts was a 96 honda oddessy with 300k miles. I guess I'm writing this up to brag for us honda owners and to give you lower mileage cars something to look forward to. have a great day.
