FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

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.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

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
