  2016 and the transmission is still bad! - 2016 Acura TLX
  By John Cross - November 2 - 11:47 am

  Reading some of these reviews, I wonder who writes them. Honda Motor Company no doubt. I have been very disappointed in this car which I got 3 months ago. It has been in the shop 3 times to fix the rough shifting. In stop and go traffic it is a nightmare. The mechanic acknowledged they still have many complaints. It is a software problem.... With eight gears it cant always decide which gear to go to. So far no software to fix it. Ive asked for out of my lease but they say no. I feel stuck with a $400 a month annoying experience. If they ever fix the problem it will be a pretty good car but the transmission on the 2016 4 cylinder is not ready for prime time yet.

  Second time around - 2016 Acura TLX
  By Br Mills - July 5 - 10:39 pm

  Owned my 2006 Acura for 10+ years and over 105,000 miles. Loved it and when it came time to replace it, I purchased the Acura make, model, color, etc. that came closest to my previous car. Never considered any other options. Im sure I will love this model for the next 100,000 miles as well.

  Do not buy this car...Scary transmission problems - 2016 Acura TLX
  By J Ashton - January 8 - 12:31 am

  I bought a new 2016 TLX 2.4 in August 2016. My fifth Acura. I was assured by the dealer that, even though Id read that the 2015 cars were experiencing transmission issues, the problem had been resolved in the 2016 models. Right away I began experiencing transmission hiccups in lower gears as speed increased. The car would hesitate significantly, then lurch forward as I increased speed. Really scary, especially when leaving a rest area or going onto a highway from an on ramp. Worse, as I braked and then almost came to a stop, the car sometimes jerked forward. This situation was truly dangerous. There is a class action filed in California concerning this precise issue. You should also know that the tech package is really worthless at best and another safety issue at worst. The brake warning beep and signal as well as the rear assist signal operate completely without regard to whether a car, person, or object is nearby. The dealer tried to fix these problems twice, once in October and once during the MONTH they had the car in December. I got it back in January and drove it 45 miles. During that period, I experienced no fewer than eight of the transmission incidents described above. I have read that even when the transmission is replaced, the problem hasnt resolved. I finally refused to drive the car any more, fearing for my life or that of a pedestrian. Please do NOT buy this car. It is not safe.

  Careful what you wish for - 2017 Acura TLX
  By Eg - October 29 - 7:28 pm

  Ive owned the TLX technology, the navigation is not the greatest it had me turned around a few times , every once in awhile the volume on the stereo would automatically get louder to its highest level and vibrant the car I would take the car in to Acura to find out the problem , only to find out we cant find out the problem, but I was told the next time it happens bring it back in. This was the 2nd time it happened and the 2nd time I brought it in . The paint does not do well on the road with other cars .

  Transmission issues - 2016 Acura TLX
  By Lisa - October 22 - 2:35 pm

  I have taken this car to the dealership three times and complained about the hard stopping. They said it was a software issue and they fixed it. It continues to do the same. Tired of the car.

  A used TSX is better than a new TLX. - 2016 Acura TLX
  By E. J. Ross - August 25 - 12:19 pm

  I have owned Acura cars for over 20 years and this one is the worst. Getting in and out is terrible as the reach to close the door is too far. You can not see the front if the car so parking head-in is just guess work. The entertainment system is far too complicated and not easy to use. I never feel comfortable driving the car and wish I had obtained something else. I want my old TSX back.

  Car needs warranty repairs monthly - 2015 Acura TLX
  By Frustrated_Owner - June 16 - 8:35 pm

  I purchased a 2015 Acura TLX and the car cut off while driving on the Interstate twice. After many trips trying to get the Acura dealership where I purchase the car to help me and receiving replies they could not find any issues after a year I filed for the lemon law. After filing the lemon law Acura replace my transmission with a new transmission and said the issue was now fixed. This morning 11/21/2016 I had a transmission light come on and it stranded me long enough to call for road side assistance. The light eventually went off and the car allowed me to put it in gear so I could get to work. Hopes this helps!
