Description of the problem | 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. |
