You aren't the only one. There are at least 4 threads on this.

Here is one: http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13243

Are you sure its your alignment? The TSX seems to be very sensitive to crowned roads and will pull in the downslope direction quite easily.

Have we ever seen anyone complain about their car pulling to the right? The alignment might be a little off but most of the effect is caused by the crown in the road.

after i hit the pothole and got everything fixed they did a laser alignment on my car...it runs smooth on most roads but if there is a crown it will pull to the left slightly...nothing major, i have gotten used to it...

It should be well within the warranty period so I guess it wouldn't hurt to have the techs fix/verify.

Check your tire pressure first!!!

I just read through all the posts and I didnt even know this was a problem. My car has been pulling to the left since I picked it up. I just made an appointment for an alignment on Monday. I also know that the dealer had my car flatbedded in from Boston, so I wonder if that could have something to do with it? We'll see Monday

I was having the same issue and apparently it was the tire pressure.

I think I found two solutions for the problem:

1. Lose weight until your mass measure is zero. You car will now go straight.

2. Take a seat in the middle of the car (AT's better here). You car will now be properly balanced.

Or, what you could do, is tie a friend with the same weight as you to the passenger seat every time you go out...
