2015 ACURA TLX Complaints

TRANSMISSION HAS EXTREMELY BAD JERK FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. ALSO, TRANSMISSION TENDS TO MAKE CAR ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN SOMETIMES. ALSO, DOWNSHIFTING IS TOO SLOW TO MAKE AN EFFECTIVE PASS ON A HIGHWAY. HORRIBLE, UNSAFE FEELING TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, HIS FOOT WAS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 40 MPH AND THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DECELERATING TO 20 MPH. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10. UPDATED 4/20/15*CN THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS WARM, IT ACCELERATED WHEN DOWN SHIFTING AND THE RPM'S WOULD TO 200-300. UPDATED 04/23/15*JB

TRANSMISSION IS JERKY. DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY IN 2 AND 3 GEARS. SOMETIMES ACCELERATES BEFORE DOWNSHIFTING TRANSMISSION SEEMS OK IN HIGHER GEARS. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY IN LOW GEARS. MAKES DRIVING RISKY AND DIFFICULT UNTIL CAR IS IN HIGHER GEARS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND COMING TO A STOP, ONCE STOPPED IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS PULSING OR SHUTTERING FORWARD , AND WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE RPMS GO HIGH AND THE VEHICLE JOLTS FORWARD (TRANSMISSION FAILURE? THE 2015 ACURA TLX 4 CYLINDER TECH PACKAGE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK AND A HALF!!! I'M NOT A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER. *TR

WHILE MY 2015 ACURA TLX WAS PARKED , THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO MY NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY!! BACK TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP IT WENT, ACURA CONFIRMED IT ROLLS IN PARK, REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, BESIDES THAT THE 2015 TLX STALES OUT WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY VERY UNSAFE !! MY BRAND NEW ACURA HAS SPENT HALF THE TIME I'VE HAD IT , GETTING REPAIRS AT THE DEALER.. I DON'T EXPECT THIS FROM ACURA. *TR

THIS VEHICLE OFTEN HESITATES OR HAS A LOUD NOISE OF THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDING LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT INTO A GEAR IT SHOULDN'T. BOTH OF THESE OCCURRENCES HAPPEN WHEN MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. CAR DOES NOT MOVE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS, IN THE LATTER CASE OR IS MOVING AWAY FROM STOPPED POSITION IN THE FORMER CASE. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE IN BACK OF ME THINKS I AM MOVING FORWARD (WHICH IS NOT HAPPENING) AND PROCEEDS TO MOVE ALMOST REAR-ENDING ME. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD/ HOT. *TR

I LEASED A 2015 ACURA TLX V6 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 2015. TODAY I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS CAR (BASED ON THE VIN) AND THAT IN DECEMBER 2014 HONDA MOTOR COMPANY ISSUED A STOP SALE ORDER ON THIS MODEL. HOW WAS THE DEALERSHIP ALLOWED TO LEASE THIS CAR TO ME IF A STOP SALE ORDER WAS ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER? ARE THEY REQUIRED BY LAW TO DISCLOSE ANY RECALL NOTICES BEFORE SELLING OR LEASING A CAR? I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE REFLECTION OF THE AIR VENT GRILL IN THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING. I HAVE OWNED SIX ACURAS SINCE 1988, BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER OF THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP (2 PURCHASES AND 2 LEASES) SINCE 2000 AND AM BEYOND DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT I'VE BEEN COMPLETELY CONNED AND TAKEN IN BY AN EXTREMELY SLICK AND FALSE SALES PITCH. I'VE HAD SUCH GREAT EXPERIENCES WITH ACURAS THAT IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME TO DOUBT THEIR WORD. TO NOW DISCOVER THAT THERE IS SOMETHING TECHNICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT MAY IMPACT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS, THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND RECALL NOTICE, AND DID NOT INFORM ME OF SUCH IS REPREHENSIBLE. *TR

(1) WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS BUMPING THE CAR FROM BEHIND TO MAKE IT GO FORWARD. (2) THE CAR IS COLD WITH THE TEMPERATE AT 70 DEGREES AND ON AUTO - DEALER SUGGESTED MANUALLY CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE TO 85 DEGREES - CAR WILL BECOME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. HAVE TO MANUALLY KEEP CHANGING THE TEMPERATURE EVERY 10 MINUTES TO MAKE CAR COMFORTABLE. *TR

WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS BUMPING ME FROM BEHIND TO MAKE THE CAR GO FORWARD. OR ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING WOULD BE THAT THE CAR IS TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. ALSO, WHEN ACCELERATING, IT FEELS AT TIMES LIKE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH GAS AND THEN THE CAR STARTS SPEEDING UP. THE TRANSITION IS NOT SMOOTH. I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESPERSON IT WAS A SHIFTING ISSUE AND THE CAR NEEDS TO WARM UP. " IT WAS NOT A BIG DEAL." THE PROBLEM IS THERE WERE DAYS THAT IT WAS WARM OUTSIDE. I HAVE COMMUNICATED MY CONCERNS TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES; HOWEVER, THEY HAVE YET TO GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS OR SUGGEST IT MAY BE ON A RECALL. I JUST CONTACTED ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT ON RECALL LIST. THIS IS A HUGE WORRY THAT THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT ON THE LIST WHO ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. CLEARLY, THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOONER THAN LATER. *TR

THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS HAVE AN ODD REFLECTION FROM THE CHROME COMPONENTS ON THE SIDE OR INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2015 ACURA TLX AWD. *TR
