Model records

What changes the warranty calculation

Across 8 model years, the Acura ILX records contain 173 complaints. The median count per model year is 20 reports. These figures do not account for annual sales.

The 2016 record contains 52 complaint reports. No listed year has a higher raw count, though other years may be tied. This comparison uses all listed years without adjusting for sales or time on the road; it does not establish a failure rate.

Engine replacement or major internal repair has the highest midpoint parts estimate in the applicable list, at $7,000. Check the remaining factory coverage before paying for an extra plan that overlaps with it.

FixCatalogue links to symptom descriptions, documented conditions and the original recall or manufacturer sources. Read those details when researching a problem; a complaint count alone cannot tell you which part to replace or whether a contract will pay.

14 indexed model-year file links across 5 distinct file labels. Separate campaigns can share a label, so every displayed campaign keeps its own source URL. Source-link snapshot: 2026-09-03. Labels are derived from public URLs; the source file controls the details.

Check coverage for the current problem first

Get the current problem diagnosed and check factory coverage or recall remedies first. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions. Set those costs aside when comparing coverage for future eligible failures.
