2004 Acura TSX NAVI review from North America

"Beautiful car, but not worth all the drama"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My TSX is a piece of junk. I am not sure of the mileage for each thing that has happened, but here is a list nonetheless.

Navigation died. (had to be sent off for a MONTH to be fixed).

CD player died. (had to be sent off for a month as well).

A/C stopped working (had to replace all AC components).

Driver door will not lock or unlock by switch or keyless entry. (replacement part had to be ordered from dealership.)

Two oil leaks at one time (one was the rear main, and one was a simple oil leak. very expensive to fix),

Head light burned out. (you must replace the entire head light assembly. This is 400 dollars.)

The other head light burned out 2 weeks later. (back to dealership and another 400 dollars)

Timing chain broke resulting in car jumping time. (the bill for this was 2000 dollars)

Interior lights around navigation that control the air and navi controls no longer light up at night (I was told this was a circuit board and would be $2300 to fix. it remains dark.)

Rear tag lights repeatedly short out and only work if you hit the top of the trunk.

Driver side window button sticks constantly and window will not roll down.

General comments?

I love my TSX (when it runs) because it is a beautiful car. I always get compliments on it. I bought this car because I knew it was a Honda product and I had always heard about their awesome reliability. But as you can see above, this car has been nothing but a problem ever since about 40,000 miles.

I am currently looking to buy a new car, however it will not be an Acura or a Honda as I still have a bad taste in my mouth because of my ongoing experiences with this car.
