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.
This has happened 3 times over the past 15 months. I have had the car to the dealer to check and they claim they find no problem. This situation occurs when using the Automatic Brake Hold system either going up hill (as in off ramp situation) or down hill in similar situation (two times). Engine shuts off and dashboard notice to push brake pedal and start engine comes on. Dealer says they removed the center console and checked the transmission, but could not find a problem. The third time this happened 11/2/2018, I realized that each occurrence was when the Automatic Brake Hold was deployed. I will return the vehicle to the dealer next week and notify them of my new observation. Previously, the dealer and I thought it might be the transmission.
