When parking my vehicle on an incline and placing my manual transmission into first and turning off the car, without applying the parking brake, the car would slowly jerk backwards down the hill.
The contact owns a 2010 Acura TL. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle began to shake and jerk. The vehicle also failed to accelerate. A dealer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
Takata recall. Car was T-boned by a vehicle pulling out of a driveway in passenger side hard enough to damage both doors needed replacement and caused enough frame damage that caused the frame to be pulled and right rear quarter panel to be replaced from the rocker panel under the right rear door to halfway down the roof however the takata passenger side curtain airbags did not deploy. The vehicle was going 14mph and hit by a car going approx 15-20mph and accelerating.
The contact owns a 2010 Acura TL. The contact stated that the vehicle shutterred when accelerating from a stop. The dealer diagnosed that the transmission assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was to verify the recommended solution to the dealer to repair the vehicle. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
In September 2012, Acura issued product update for torque converter saying the transmission software update needed to prevent damage to the transmission. I received the notification on August 2016. This is 6 years after original notification and beyond the extended warranty. I have called Acura about the unfairness of their product software update warranty limitations to no avail.

While shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, the 3rd gear does not fully engage, it pops back into neutral. I then had to shift back to 2nd and back into 3rd gear (which was successful). This happens multiple times a week. This is very dangerous as you are put into neutral in the middle of traffic. Acura has issues a tsb for the previous generation TL, but not this generation even though many customers have had the same issue. Acura refuses to do anything about it until they can replicate it themselves. This is nearly impossible as it is an intermittent issue that does not happen every single time. There are no issues with any other gears.
