Problems:
Dynamic brake support malfunction
The Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) system may fail to activate or deactivate at the appropriate times, leading to reduced braking efficiency and increased stopping distances.
Engine misfire
The V-shaped engine configuration, particularly in the Honda J30AC engine, might be prone to misfires due to issues like faulty spark plugs or ignition coils.
Oil consumption
The V6 engine could experience higher than normal oil consumption, which may require frequent top-ups and could indicate internal engine wear.
Fuel injector issues
Direct fuel injection systems can sometimes suffer from clogged or faulty injectors, leading to poor fuel economy and performance issues.
Timing belt/chain problems
The engine's timing belt or chain may wear out prematurely, leading to potential engine timing issues and possible engine damage if not addressed.
Overheating
The V-shaped configuration can sometimes lead to cooling inefficiencies, causing the engine to overheat under heavy load or high ambient temperatures.
Valve train wear
The 4-stroke cycle engine might experience wear in the valve train components, such as camshafts and lifters, resulting in poor engine performance and noise.
Fuel pump failure
The direct fuel injection system relies heavily on a high-pressure fuel pump, which may fail and cause the engine to run poorly or not start at all.
Sensor failures
Various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAP sensors) that are critical for engine management might fail, resulting in check engine lights and performance issues.
Transmission issues
Although not directly an engine problem, the TLX may experience transmission issues that can affect overall performance, such as rough shifting or slipping gears.
