Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 TLX.
The 2024 Acura TLX is a midsize sedan equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission (S10) that delivers an EPA-estimated 22 mpg in the city, 31 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined, figures that place it competitively within its class for fuel economy; this model year carries forward a lineage spanning from 2012 through 2025, during which complaint volumes have fluctuated dramatically—from a low of just one complaint reported in 2012 to a peak of 340 in 2015—while the current generation has recorded only five owner complaints with power train cited as the primary concern and one associated recall, suggesting that while the TLX has navigated periods of notable owner dissatisfaction in its history, the 2024 iteration reflects substantially improved reliability outcomes.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2024 TLX sits at the low-water mark of a generation that peaked sharply in 2015 with 340 complaints and 427 TSBs before entering a sustained, year-over-year decline across every federal metric. By 2024, complaints have fallen to just five, recalls to one, investigations to one, and TSBs to twelve — each figure roughly half or less of the already modest 2023 totals. The sparse complaints scatter across Power Train and Electrical System categories with only one report apiece, and the data doesn't specify a root cause for any; notably, zero crash or fire complaints appear in the record. This trajectory suggests the platform's early-production complexities have been largely resolved through the 2022–2024 refresh cycle. For a buyer prioritizing documented reliability, the 2024 model represents the cleanest federal record of the generation to date and is a strong candidate year to purchase.
