I bought my 2005 acura tsx about 6 months ago. And I love it. But I keep running into problems and they all seem to be very popular so why no recall??

To start off I have a vibration between 55-60 mph and only when accelerating. Its throughout the entire car not just sterring wheel or specific part.

Second. My clutch engages really low and has very little play causing it to be very difficult to shift into first and grinding going into reverse unless I put it into third before hand to stop synchro. Mechanics told me a have a bad clutch master cylinder?

Third. My driver side door doesn't unlock with remote. Just key entry only and the unlcok switch unlocks all but driver side.

 

Any help? =)

 

your tires might be out of balance-Happened to me-
can not help you on the other things-sorry-

 

Your door actuator might be broken. Replacing it will fix the problem.

 

How many miles do you have?

I agree with mdkxtreme, the door lock actuators (driver's and/or passenger's) is a known problem as the car ages. Replacing it resolves the issue. The part runs ~$30, and there's DIY threads about it.

 

Unfortunately, the 55-60 vibration is one thing, and one thing only.

You have a worn drive component...either the left or right half-shaft or the intermediate shaft is bad.

The following threads might help:

The door issue is the actuator, period.

You already know what the clutch issue is...sorry, this all isn't gonna be cheap.

 

yea that shaking is most likely caused by a bad inner cv joint. I replaced both axels and this fixed the problem. I put cheap advance auto drive shafts, paid $100 a piece for them.
