All repairs to my car have been performed at the Acura dealor- pohanka Acura located in chantilly, va. I have had numerous problems since buying the car on March 1, 2015. Apart from recalls, the main concern has been transmission, I have gone back and forth probably 30 times for same issue - transmission, yet the problem persists desoite it being changed once already. I am tired of wasting time at Acura dealor. On October 23, 2019 while driving at a speed of about 55 miles/hr all the alerts and indicators lit up yet again in the dashboard and the car shifted to neutral and I could not shift any gears whatsoever. Within seconds car came to a complete stop and the indicators said to put the car in park gear as soon as possible, which I did. At this time I was in left lane with bad weather and almost got hit by a few cars. I was scared and literally anything could have happened. I called pohanka Acura and they said there's nothing I could do to even bring the car in neutral to get it out of left lane to move it to shoulder. The alerts had come on once before as well, at which time I notified the dealorship - they disregarded the issue saying that no one else has reported this. The alerts went away after shutting off and restarting the car. Not this time. I was left stranded in left lane. I am scared and concerned about mine and my family's safety. Are the technicians at pohanka Acura not trained to troubleshoot the issues" why did I had to go and spend hours at a time to troubleshoot the same issues over and over again? did the dealor sell me a lemon" I have all documentation for each service call, but the space is not allowing me to write all the details and file size limitation is preventing me to upload all the service documents. Please help!

My car has about 74000 miles, and Acura has changed the transmission and tcm once already. On October 23, 2019 while driving at a speed of about 55 miles/hr (on highway) all the alerts and indicators lit up yet again in the dashboard and the car shifted to neutral and I could not shift any gears whatsoever. Within seconds car came to a complete stop and the indicators said to put the car in park gear as soon as possible, which I did. At this time I was in left lane with bad weather and almost got hit by a few cars. I was scared and literally anything could have happened. This happened once before as well, but shutting down and restarting worked - dealer was notified but nothing was done. This time I was stranded. I am scared about my and my family's safety. My story is very long starting from day 1 when I bought this car on March 1, 2015 at pohanka Acura in chantuilly va (the dealership), but the space is not allowing me to write the complete story. Acura is not doing much to resolve this issue or the dealership is not telling me the whole truth!

The car has an intermittent problem where the car dies completely after it comes to a stop (numerous times) and it can be turn on for a few minutes. There has been incidents where I have come close to be hit in the rear of the car (by other cars) because the car won't re-start immediately. Dealers have try to fix the problem but the situation remains the same.

At 70 mph the vehicle lost power, all warning lights came on, I had to maneuver thru traffic and drift to the shoulder, the transmission was locked up and could not be shifted from park to any gear, the accelerator would not work. The car had to be towed.the dealership said the vehicle computer had to be re-flashed/programmed. This condition could have caused an accident for an inexperienced driver.there are no fault codes indicated as to why or what caused this issue. I did find through research that a wiring harness is causing these conditions in the make, model and year vehicle. Also the transmission is related to this problem.

Push button start often in cold weather will not start car. However, remote engine start function on the remote will work. If car was running and then turned off for a few minutes in cold, the car will not restart unless done through remote start

Almost immediately after bought I noticed my 2015 Acura Tlx 3.5L V6 jerked significantly between gears 1-3. I have a one-hour commute each way in stop-and-go freeway traffic, and the problem is hugely annoying. Frequently it jerks so hard that my head hits the headrest repeatedly. I feel like someone rear ending slowly, at the end of my commute, I'm wiped out from all the jerking back-and-forth. The dealer says Acura is calling this "a characteristic of the vehicle" for which there is no fix. Apparently I just have to live with it; even though Acura has extended-the warranty for 10 years of period seems like Acura dealership doesn't really wanna do anything about it. I went few Acura dealerships and show them the recall notice which received in the mail still service advisors refusing diagnose the issue for free all they telling is change the transmission fluid and pay for the diagnoses. My car engine was overheated due to atf coolant fan malfunction even though Acura had a recall on atf coolant, Acura dealers made me pay $900. This car will definitely be my last Acura if this issue does not get resolved. The thought of spending rest of the years getting my head banged against the headrest in a $40,000 car is extremely unethical and depressing. Please be kind enough to be help me out to resolve this issue which in a quick manner for mine & others safety concern.

I have had the vehicle into the dealer 3 times (Feb 2018, July 2018 and Nov 18) for the same problem. Each time the vehicle stalls and must bet into park and restarted when at a stop sign, stop light or stopped for road construction on the highway. The automatic idle causes the car to stall. In order to get it going must shift into park and restart. It is very frightening because it happens intermittently. This happens with no warning and presents a safety issue. The car is not safe and is a hazard.

On various occasions, I have went to start my car and the car's keyless entry option will work and the lights, radio, ac, all of that will turn on but the car's engine will not turnover. Consequently, I have had to have my car jump started for it to completely turn over. Other times, all of the warning lights will come on and say that all the safety features including, lkas, blind-spot monitor, brake hold, steering, etc. Systems have failed and all warning/error lights/messages will pop up and then will go away after the car has been turned off for 10-15 minutes.

My car lost motive power while driving about 20-25 miles per hour on a city street. I was turning towards the right into a roundabout when the car would not accelerate even though I was pressing on the gas pedal. The car continued to coast for a few seconds and then the engine started again. I do not think the car went into neutral because I did not have to push the ignition start button.

- Danville, CA, USA

Engine failed to restart during 'auto idle-stop/start' at a traffic light on a busy road. In order to restart I had to press the 'start' button multiple times and return the car to 'park' before being able to resume operation.

The transmission is extremely jumpy, all of the warning lights come on and flash, along with the engine will power down temporarily. For example one time I was going approx 50mph and it powered down to about 30 mph on the freeway. All of the warning lights start flashing, I pulled over turned the car off and then restarted it. The warning lights remained flashing but the engine functioned but the transmission still was jerky. This was happened at least 5 separate times and we have had it in service with Acura several times and each time they try to fix the same complaints with a different fix. Most recently we had it in for repair for a week, we got it back, drove it 200 miles and the same error happened. Acura finally agreed to replace the transmission and I just picked it back up on 1/6/17 and the same error and transmission issue occurred today. We have notified the dealership, the nmvb, Acura customer relations, and now we are reaching out to the NHTSA. We do not feel safe in this vehicle and we are afraid that the transmission will idle down again on the freeway but maybe in a lane that we cannot immediately pull over safely.

My name is [xxx], in 2014 I walked into marin Acura (located in marin, California) and leased a 2015 Acura Tlx. This was especially an exciting model due to it redesign. Within the first year of my lease I received a recall letter in the mail stating that their was a defect in regards to the transmission. I brought the vehicle to the dealer and they "fixed" it and sent me on my way. One year later, again, I received a letter in the mail from the automobile devision located at your corporate headquarters at 1919 torrance blvd, ca (NHTSA recall # 16V-640). The letter clearly states "if this malfunction were to occur, it could result in an unexpected loss of motor power, which could reduce vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash?. it also states that the ?fix" will become available December 2016, todays date is November 7th, 2016. I have been driving this vehicle for 2 out of my 3 year lease and the transmission has been recalled twice consistently every year. I have put my two children and wife into this vehicle now knowing that the car could have possibly put my family and myself in physical danger and even death. Not because driving is dangerous but because there have been manufacturing defects with the transmission of this Acura model and year. I cannot describe what it feels like to have that on the mind of a parent. I see this being handled in one way. Acura takes away the car and refunds me my total vehicle lease investment along with my down payment. Please take this matter into serious consideration as I am fully prepared to legally escalate this matter beyond the consumer-company level. I can't imagine how many Acura 2015 Tlxs there are nation wide. This experience has been a disaster financially, emotionally and according to Acura potentially physically.

I own a 2015 Tlx V4 tech and there seems to be an obvious problem, which the dealerships seems to neglect, with the transmission. I've had my vehicle checked out 2 times since I first purchased it back in July of 2015, and the dealership tech. Specialists know it is there but they aren't able to resolve the problem even through a "software update". the problem is that the vehicle jerks forward, sometime when making a stop it launches forward- as if someone had rear-ended me. The secondary problem is that when I merge onto the freeway there is a major lag and the transmission fails to shift. Takes about 3 seconds to engage to full speed which in terms it's extremely hazardous because of of other vehicles that cease to slowdown and give me the right-of-way. I demand the manufacturer be aware of this issues that I contemplate on a daily basis before something tragic happens to me or my fellow Tlx drivers.

This car is a total lemon - do not purchase. I have had this car to the dealer 9 times in 12 months for non routine maintenance issues and it is getting towed there again today. Myriad of issues from lack of brakes to jerking transmission to flat out won't start. I purchased an Acura for a reliable car and that is most certainly not what I own now. I have an open case with Acura corporate but the dealer (pohanka Acura, chantilly va) will not stand behind the vehicles they sell. Buyer beware of this car!!
