I purchased my 2015 TLX with tech package 3 months ago. I noticed the transmission jerking as well as the brakes having somewhat of a hesitation to them. The BRAKE notification warning has come on for no reason as well. I must say I'm very disappointed in this vehicle. As a previous Toyota owner I know what it's like to own a new vehicle and not have any issues with it what-so-ever. I was attracted to the TLX because of the technology however had I known that it was going to have all these issues I would have purchased the BMW 3 series or the Audi Q4 instead. If theses issue are not resolved very soon I will be contacting the Acura corporate headquarters to make a complaint if that does nothing I will contact lemon law to see if they can help. I do have an appointment next week. I keep you all posted as to what the results were.

Not a happy Acura owner :-(

The shift quality from 1st to 2nd and especially from 2nd to 3rd gears is unacceptable for any modern car. This is simply a bad joke that Acura, being essentially Honda that is renowned for it's quality engineering, sells a luxury vehicle that can't shift gears smoothly. This is by far the worst shifting transmission I ever drove in my life. Even the cars I drove 20 years ago were shifting smoother. It's also very unresponsive both in terms of throttle input and manual shifts, but the jerkiness is the primary complain. Really bad execution. Absolutely unacceptable in any car, but especially in one that costs as much as this one.

Since I have gotten this car I have had issues with the car shifting extremely hard at times. It seems to happen more when the car is cold and the weather is cold but that is not always a factor. This is my 3rd Acura, 2 past TSX's, one was 6sp and I cannot even drive stick as bad as this car shifts. It seems to be the worst from 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4, after 4 or 5 it smooths out. I have had the car into the dealership and was told they did a computer update after I insisted there was a problem and made them call Acura. The update did not fix the problem.

The gear shifting is substandard for a luxury car of this caliber. As a matter of fact, even my old truck with over 200,000 miles on it shifts smoother than this car.

I took the car in after 3 days of owning it with less than 75 miles on it. First time, the dealer said that it was my driving style and the car in not broken in yet, etc. I then drove it with Acura mechanic and he noticed the jerking. they had my car for one week and it was still the same. The second time I took the car in and the dealer kept it for 21 days (remind you folks that the car had less than 350 miles on it and I had driven it for less than 12 days by then). I was told that the manufacturer was aware of the issue and was working on the controlling software. While i was still waiting, the manufacturer had sent a, in progress, transmission software update that was loaded to my car. The result was the same, very jerky and now the RPM was much higher at all speed. I drove the car with their mechanic and we were both convinced that the problem persisted. They kept the car for another 7 days and finally told me that Acura was working on a solution and they will call me when they have an update. The dealer told me if you want it fixed, you need to take it to Acura directly as the dealer did not have that much power dealing with the manufacturer problem.

Other issues with the car include false alarm flashing "Brake" when there are no other cars around. This safety future is supposed to warn you when you are getting too close to the vehicle in front of you.
