Description of the problem | Went in for a recall notice i received for my 2015 acura tlx specifying a possible faulty transmission in car - went to go have it looked at. Determined by tech that car was not experiencing exact issue in recall but car should have a tcm software update since it was jerking at the 2-3 shift. When i received the car back it was 10 times worse! Still jerking but now was jumping on every downshift every single time the car decelerates on every shift! This is a safety concern that is very serious and needs to be addressed by acura - a new transmission should be called for since the car is under warranty. The car also just goes to 2-3 rpm's just while sitting idle in park now - my car's transmission is completely wrecked due to this tcm software update. Already called acura to request a formal complaint - they told me to notify you as well. - [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
