Description of the problem	Did my latest software update that came out on 02/09/15. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem . I am big honda/acura fan but the new tlx 8 speed dual clutch transmission is a big letdown. This is my first honda product that i am tired of and want to be replaced. Here are some of the scenarios that the transmission does not act normal and could be dangerous long lag and heavy clunk shifting from "r" to "d"; delay during acceleration after momentarily letting off gas - engine revs up and then the car slams into the gear that it finally selects - especially dangerous when coming out of a corner or attempting to accelerate after yielding in an intersection; occasional hard jerk when stopping (like the car has been rear-ended); random rough shifting at slow speeds, etc. These problems are not just uncomfortable, they're extremely dangerous! 2. After driving 1 mile or so and coming to a complete stop, especially during cold start, the transmission lurches forward very hard ( like someone rear ended) doesn't happen all the time but happens often to dislike. 4. When slowing down, say coming to a traffic light and not coming to complete stop and making right or left turn at say about 10mph speed or so, and hit on the gas pedal to speed up, the transmission hesitates and doesn't know which gear to engage thus making very jerky feel.
