2018/TLX/SH-AWD/A-SPEC

ZERO problems, since December 2017
LOVE my A-SPEC!

 

All Dealers especially Honda, Chrysler, GM, use the cheapest batteries as possible that run on the minimum Cold Cranking amps that the car is needed to run to keep the production costs low. With cars relying way more on complex electronics early battery failures are much more common these days that's why I always recommend high output aftermarket batteries like Interstate especially the AGM ones over the underpowered OEM batteries. Hopefully it was just a dud of a battery and not an alternator problem right out of the gate :/

 

As other people have already mentioned in this thread, I do get random triggers on the parking sensor when the car is stopped... I'm planning to get it addressed at my next service as people have mentioned their Acura dealership has offered free replacement and is offered under warranty.

 

18 TLX ASpec purchased 3/2018 with 36XX miles. No problems yet. 1st oil change scheduled at the end of the week at dealer.

 

Quality doesn't seems great. replaced 3 speakers and the center middle just went again. replaced one inside door panel and other needs to be replaced. trim needed to be replaced around the gearbox. multiple times the weather stripping around the window needed to be replaced as it was torn.

 

Interesting. I've gone as long as 2 weeks without touching my vehicle (18 ASpec) while left in the garage with no issues at all. No tender, etc.

 

Exactly what I would do. Rather than being safety aids, these electronic trinkets are distracting. They're no substitute for good driving skills and eyes on the road.
