Common problems and easy repairs on a 2009 TSX

The 2009 Acura TSX is a well-designed car that’s fairly straightforward to maintain. For example, the cabin air filter is painless to access. Whereas most cars require you to partially remove the glovebox to gain access to the cabin air filter, on the 2009 Acura TSX, you simply open the glovebox and access the filter in the rear. The transmission fluid dipstick is easy to access – which is a nice touch because many cars no longer have a dipstick for the transmission.

Some of the problems with the 2009 Acura TSX include the fact that syncing your phone is a bit of a hassle because you need to know all of the audio commands by heart. Replacing the fog lights require you to lay down on the ground for access. Speaking of laying on the ground, to change the oil, you need to remove a large panel before you can access the drain plug and filter – a dirty proposition!

Overall, maintaining the 2009 Acura TSX is a straightforward and enjoyable process compared to other intro-luxury cars.
