I am a recent TLX owner... TLX v6 FWD Tech. Had the car for just under 7 months. Its been a rough winter here in Michigan and we have plenty of pot holes to avoid. I don't recall ramming any of them with much ferocity.. but it feels like there is something really jacked with my front suspension on the driver side.

Symptoms:
It is an intermittent bang (like theres bushing on bushing slamming together as if the strut just decides to randomly go on a coffee break). I can be going over bumps in the road that are no worse than others... and randomly this bang will occur...

At first I thought it might be a busted radial or something which only lines up with bumps every so often... but there is no really noticeable vibration at any speed... I did fund myself riding about 60mph down a side road where the little expansion gaps in the road were raised slightly and at equal distances... and EVERY ONE made that bang noise (which is where I figured it was possibly tire related).

Anyone else have this issue?

BTW - I can't believe Acura built such a nice ride on such trash tires... I have the potenza's... what the heck where they thinking? I guess I was blinded by all the other TLX greatness that I failed to realize it was running on trash rubber. Oh well.. 6mo in and if I am correct I will be purchasing a new tire... irritating.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum but sorry to see you are having problems.

I have had FWD V6 Adv for about two months now and no problems so far.

I would think if it were a tire problem you could feel it in your driving. As young as your car is I would take it back to the dealer for a check up. Most likely whatever it is is still under warranty.:|

I have not had that problem but there was a TSB on a defective suspension strut mounting that was usually observed by a "clunk". Likely the same think. Just take in in and I am sure it will be corrected.

Since there was a TSB on it, it sure seems like they'll immediately take your vehicle in without many questions to ask you.

Take it in and let us know how everything goes.
Hopefully they give you a TLX loaner!

Honda used to put crappy tires on their cars in the 90’s. They might have returned to that practice. It saves them a lot of money, but drivers get a really lousy ownership experience. So far our 2018 Pilot with Continental tires is good, and our brand new TLX with Michelin tires is good.

I had the same problem took my mechanic about 90 seconds to find a rock lodged up by Seay bar.
