2005 Acura TSX Common Problems, Issues, Recalls, and Reliability

• 2005 Acura TSX Loud Rattle Type Noise from Engine After Cold Start

  A loud rattle type noise may be noted from the engine after a cold start. This can be caused by a faulty valve timing control actuator. Replacing the failed actuator will commonly correct this noise issue.

• 2005 Acura TSX Illumination of Entertainment/Navigation Screen and Switches May Fail

  The illumination of the entertainment/navigation screen and switches may fail. This is generally caused by a failed circuit board. Acura has extended the warranty on the audio display unit to 7 years or 105,000 miles for the 2004 model year only.

• 2005 Acura TSX The Brake Pedal May Become Soft and/or Low

  Some vehicles may develop a soft, low brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition may be caused by a faulty vehicle stability assist (VSA) modular control unit. If this is the case replacement of the VSA modular control unit would be required.

• 2005 Acura TSX Engine Leaking Oil

  The 2004-2014 Acura TSX engine oil pressure sensor is known to leak from normal operation.

  More information about the oil pressure sensor here .

  To correct the leak, the sensor must be inspected, properly sealed and installed, or replaced with new.

• 2005 Acura TSX ABS Light on With Brake Vibration and Grinds

  The 2004-2014 Acura TSX has brake caliper issues, which are known for causing vibration and grinding noises at all times.

  The brake rotor is a disk that sits between two brake pads . The brake pads are squeezed against the disk by what is called a brake caliper. When that caliper gets stuck, the brake pads are permanently pressed against the rotor causing:

  • Vibration in brake pedal
  • Vibration on steering wheel
  • Illumination of the ABS or brake warning light
  • Grinding noise from one corner of the vehicle
  • Vehicle pulls to one side of the road
  • Braking requires more pressure on the brake pedal

  The repair for a seized brake caliper, the brake pads, brake rotor, and brake caliper must be replaced or vibration will remain after the new caliper is installed. Changing the brake fluid and flushing the brake system according to manufacturer specified intervals can help improve longevity of the brake caliper.

• 2005 Acura TSX Low Tire Light on Due to Faulty Tire Pressure Sensor

  A faulty tire pressure sensor may cause illumination of the low tire warning light even if tire pressure are correct. If this condition occurs the affected sensor(s) should be replaced.
