More about the Defect Present in the Vehicles
As mentioned above, the 2016 to 2020 Acura TLX has issues with door and window seals, which results in water inside the cabin. The most common sources of these leaks may include the following:
- Issues with the door panel vapor barrier (the barrier can become torn/detach, allowing water to enter the interior of the car)
- Clogged sunroof drain tubes (causing water to back up and overflow, leaking into the vehicle)
- Issues with door seals (the seals can become cracked, compromising the seal, and allowing water into the car)
- Issues with the windshield/cowl (cracks or leaks in the sealant around the windshield or debris blocking cowl drains can allow water to enter through the dashboard)
The defect can lead to water inside the cabin, which can result in significant water damage, mold, electrical issues, and more. More specifically, carpets, seats, and other absorbent materials may be damaged and lead to stains requiring professional cleaning or complete replacement. The water can short-circuit sensitive electronic parts, like power seats, sensors, and the engine control unit, which can lead to expensive repairs. Of course, the water can also result in corrosion and rust.
If your vehicle has water inside the cabin because of defects in the door seals and window seals, it is important that you understand that your vehicle may be a lemon. You should reach out to an experienced lawyer as soon as possible.

The Deadline for Filing Your Acura TLX Water Leaks Lemon Law Lawsuit
How long do I have to file a lemon law claim? This is a very important question. Every claim, including lemon law claims, are subject to a statute of limitations or a deadline. The deadline that applies to claims under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act has recently been updated to essentially give consumers longer to file their claims. Previously, consumers had to file their claims within four years and while their warranty was still active. Based on the new update to the law, affected consumers have up to one year after the expiration of their warranty to file claims or a maximum of six years after the delivery of the vehicle to file claims.
Because of the recent updates to the law, current claims may be subject to either of these deadlines (based on the purchase date), so it is important that you reach out to an Acura TLX lemon law attorney as soon as possible.
