Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2015 acura tlx. While drving various speeds, the vehicle shifted between gears very roughly. Additionally, the vehicle took an excessively long time to stop after applying the brake pedal. While the contact's son was driving 15 mph, the driver applied the brakes; however, the vehicle failed to stop. As a result, the driver crashed into a pole. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to a body shop where the cosmetic damage was repaired, but the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. On another occasion, while the contact's son was driving 10 mph, the driver applied the brakes, but the vehicle failed to stop again. As a result, the driver struck the preceding vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to dch montclair acura (100 bloomfield ave, verona, nj 07044) where the cosmetic damage was repaired; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The failure continued to recur and the vehicle was taken to ramsey acura (65 nj-17, ramsey, nj 07446) where the dealer updated unspecified software on the vehicle, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and suggested a different dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 7,500. *bf updated 8/3/18*jb |
