2015 Acura TLX Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model	TLX
Model Year	2015
File date	01/02/16
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Please investigate acura on their 8 and 9 speed transmission. The transmission hesitates and jerks between shifts, is unresponsive to downshifts (unless it is in sport mode), reluctant to up shift at times, grinds at certain speeds and you can move the car a half foot in park. Most time, this is frustrating and upsetting for an upmarket vehicle, some times it is concerning as you feel you cannot control the car and could cause an accident. I have taken it back to acura 5 times and despite software updates and a "new" transmission, nothing has changed. I met with the acura mid-atlantic rep and he said this is the way the transmissions behave so honda can meet the government fuel economy requirements. I had a high-gear transmission before this car and never had these issues. I have read about the same problem on other sites and in car magazines yet honda/acura is doing nothing about it besides "software updates." this transmission, produced by zf and installed in other vehicles such as chrysler/fiat has the similar issues. What can be done about a product that is clearly faulty? Thank you.
