acura tsx 2007 Complaints

STEERING

i own a 2007 acura tsx. there is a squeaking noise coming from the steering column that is getting progressively worse. the dealer claims that acura knows about the issue, but as of yet does not have a solution. many owners have blogged and posted comments regarding the same issue on various websites. i am surprised that acura has not done something about this.

STEERING

i received a safety recall:power steering fluid leak for my 2007 acura tsx. contacted acura client services for nearest authorized mechanic. was informed that i would need to take my acura over 50 miles (one way) form ft. collins where i work and live. leave car half a day and return to ft. collins. i have to believe that acura and safety administration could see the hardship this creates. why can't they authorize a dealership like markley motors here in ft. collins to provide this service. their way cost me time and resources and wastes energy!. is this an effort to discourage people from addressing their problem? please let me know if you can assist. i know that markley motors works on honda. please help!

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

i have a 2007 acura tsx automatic and the transmission makes a clicking noise whenever you come to a complete stop and then start to move again. acura has stated that all of their transmissions make this clicking noise all the time, however it is not normal for automatic transmissions to do this and no other car i have ever owned makes this noise. i've also done my research and all acura tsx automatic owners from the 04-08 model years experience this clicking problem. the problem seems to be a bad shift lock solenoid and bushing. some owners have had acura fix the problem only for it to come back in 10k - 20k miles. there should be an investigation into a recall for this. i am sure it could lead to more issues with the car further on.
