 Description of the problemTo whom it may concern, i own a 2015 acura tlx (4 cylinder model with 8 speed automatic transmission) which i purchased a few months ago and would like to file the following complaint: 1. On stop and go traffic the transmission is jerky (almost every time). This means that when the transmission shifts, it creates a shutter that reverberates throughout the car. 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 (four times total). Very scary when you feel like you may rear end someone. 3. 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. 4. Every time cold start, transmission shifts in 1st and 2nd gear are very hard. Dealership claimed to test drive the vehicle and then proceeded to tell me that this was "normal" for the transmission to do that. I find this very unacceptable! This car needs to be recalled and they need to find a resolution because this is a severe safety issue and a threat to my own personal safety. Acura, take some responsibility and fix this issue, i'm not the only one experiencing these problems.
