2016 Acura ILX — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 81 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

Other / uncategorized: 10 classifications (12.3%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (536 records, model years 2013–2022) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), fuel system and brakes.
• Transport Canada recalls (37 records, model years 2013–2020) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, air bags (restraint system) and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
• Manufacturer communications (907 records, model years 2013–2022) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, air bags (restraint system) and electrical system.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
