CarComplaints.com Notes: 2015 Acura TLX owners just want a transmission that can get from 1st to 5th gear without feeling like a washing machine full of bricks. A class-action lawsuit wants answers for why the car’s transmission jerks and hesitates just months after the transmissions were recalled and replaced for not being able to shift into park.
In 4 years it happened 2 times and Acura replaced the molding the first time because it was under warranty but this time they do not want to cover it, since my car is out of warranty. This is happening to every Acura TLX because of a design flaw, there is a metal under the moulding that comes out after using the car for 2 years of 30k miles. This is a shame for a premium car.
There is a metal support under the plastic trim where the driver's seat controls are. It looks like over time the metal support pushed up when you sit in the seat and breaks a section of plastic above it. My car is about 3 years old, this should not be happening. If they can not get this right I worry about what else is wrong.
The seat moulding on the driver side which encapsulates the power controls is cracked. It is a flaw in the design of the moulding and will crack again in another 3 years. The passenger side seat moulding is also showing signs of wear and will eventually crack as well. The moulding latches onto the seat assembly via a square metal hook, which puts pressure on the moulding which eventually causes it to crack.
