There was no accident. This car is the 4 cylinder, tech model. The transmission hesitates shifting from reverse to drive. It also will hesitate when turning a corner sometimes. The other problem with this car is the climate control system (listed as electrical above). It simply doesn't work correctly. The driver side tested 8 degrees different than the passenger side. So if I have the drive side set at 75 degrees for heat it feels like 68 degrees. When on the heat setting, the fan appears to disperse more out of the defroster than it does below the dash. I have to turn the car climate control setting on the driver side to 80+ degrees and use the ac dash vents to keep my upper body and hands warm. There are many complaints on the Acura Tlx forum about the climate control issue. I have made attempts to get Acura to address the heater climate control issue.

There is a very rough upshift from second to third, on a long right hand turn when transmission is cold, in the middle of the turn, power to wheels disappears and reappears when road straitens, transmission/car surges forward on down shift 3 to 2 (sometimes).

Issues with transmission shifting. 1. delay of acceleration at low speed such as at an intersection (4 occurrences) where making a turn car does not readily accelerate due to being in too high of a gear while in automatic mode. After about 2 seconds, car downshifts and resumes normal acceleration. Has not recurred in at least a month. 2. rough shift (lag) when car upshifts from 2nd to 3rd. This has been present since purchase and occurs regardless of what mode (auto/manual) is selected. Has not improved. 3.within last 30 days, vehicle is not downshifting correctly when coming to a stop. Car does not actually downshift into 1st until after it is at a complete stop resulting in a lurch. No matter how smoothly the car is brought to a stop, the final downshift in auto mode doesn't occur until after reaching a stop. The problem does not start to happen until engine/car is warm as the first few complete stops when cold are 100% ok, then after warmed up it will occur every time thereafter. 4. when engaging drive or reverse, the vehicle will begin to accelerate slightly without pedal input such as when backing out of a parking space. Contacted dealer and dealer said no instructions from maker or tsb's yet and that transmission was new model and maker not sure what to expect. Told dealer I would drive the car for a few more weeks to see if situation improves. Did not take car in for check based on dealer comment that there was no instruction from Acura yet for a fix. Vehicle is now 3500 miles and issues 2, 3, 4 still occurring.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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 Acura 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 Acura 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.

You put the car in park and it rolls away. Very dangerous!

Low speed acceleration - shifting from 1st or 2nd or 3rd (not sure) gear to next gear is not smooth. It is a fairly hard shift. The rest of the shifting is smooth 4-9. also automatic downshifting creates an odd speed up for a second to what seems like a rev match to try to make it smooth, but causes problems on slippery roads. Also early warning brake warning signal is very intermittent and works sometimes and not others in the exact same lighting situation and car position and same type of car directly in front of me.

Reflection rear view mirrors ac vent. Also abnormal shifts low speed
