Most common 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.
