Description of the problem | I least a 2015 v6 tlx in 10/16/2014. Few days later i started felling the transmission shifting roughly and jerky from 2nd to 3rd gear causing the car to jump forward. This happens almost every time especially in stop and go traffic. Another issue am having with this brand new car is the unresponsiveness in acceleration and the delay while trying to merge on the freeway or trying to change lanes passing another vehicle. By the time it accelerates, am either close to the vehicle in front of me or the approaching vehicle is close to rear ends me. Also while accelerating through an intersection , this car fells like there is now power or the gear in neutral mode. These are very dangerous issues am facing with my daily driver. I don't fell the safety in this car for me or my family, especially we are expecting a baby in couple of weeks. Acura dealer keep on saying this is the way the car is and they have no solution. |
