2015 Acura TLX Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1280251
Internal NHTSA #	10862591
Manufacurer	Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Brand	ACURA
Model	TLX
Model Year	2015
File date	02/05/16
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Car has 15k miles-from the time of purchase of my 2015 tlx shawd, vehicle exhibits ( 1)rough shifting, (2) unpredictable transmission response on downshifts on highway affecting the throttle and (3) freefall feel when downshifting on downhill. Issue (1):service bulletin done to "fix" the shifting, and although better, still exhibits the rough shift. Brought the car 3 times to acura and response is "working within spec" even when the tech noticed the hard shift and compared it to a 2016 model with no shifting issue. Now every time i know the 2-3 shift is coming, i anticipate a hard shift and have to tighten my neck muscles just in case it jerks and could cause a whiplash feel. Issue (2): when stepping on the gas pedal to make a pass on the freeway, transmission reaction time is unpredictable when at times, nothing will happen for 2 seconds, then the car will surge. This poses a safety issue due to: a. Not being able to keep up with the speed of incoming traffic due to delayed reaction and, b. The sudden surge after the 2 second delayed-reaction could result in hitting the car in front. Acura released tsb 16-012 to fix this issue but does not cover earlier vin, which include mine. Issue (3):when going downhill and car downshifts, whether manually or automatically, car surges forward giving a freefall feel before it slows down. Again tsb 16-012 was supposed to fix this but does not cover early vin ranges. Acura continues to insist that the transmission is within spec and yet, the 2016's have a different part number for their transmission. The fact that it performs differently also proves otherwise that the early versions are faulty.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
