86 NHTSA complaints, 9 crash reports, and 7 active recalls for this specific cohort.
NHTSA overall rating
Not crash-tested
New Car Assessment Program
The 2010ACURATSX carries 86 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 9 crashes, 0 fires, 6 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2010 TSX is air bags with 20 filings, followed by service brakes (10) and electrical system (7). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 7 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 2010 TSX, and 2 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration. Use the related-complaint feed below to read raw owner narratives before deciding whether any pattern here affects your specific use case.

THE CAR DOOR LOCKS, OR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS, HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES ( EACH DOOR AT LEAST TWICE) IN FIVE YEARS. THE CAR IS NOW EIGHT YEARS OLD AND ALL THE ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. THE SAFETY ISSUE ARISES WHEN THE DOOR SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AFTER REACHING 10MPH, BUT THEY DO NOT DUE TO ACTUATORS FAILING TO LOCK DOOR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DOORS TO OPEN IF INVOLVED IN CRASH. I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD ALSO ALLOW UNWANTED PEOPLE FROM ENTERING MY VEHICLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. ANOTHER ISSUE IS IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF ALL OF THE ACTUATORS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, AS IT REQUIRES MANUAL ACTIVATION OF LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH ACURA. I KNOW OF OTHER TSX OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED FROM ACURA AND THEY HAVE DECLINED THE REPAIR, STATING THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THEIR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAV
