2016 Acura TLX Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 ACURA TLX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT VENTS CAUSED A REFLECTION IN THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS CAUSING THE CONTACTS VISION TO BE OBSCURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKY, CLUNKY, BOUNCES TO A STOP, BOUNCES AND LURCHES FORWARD WHEN STOPPING, WILL TAKE 2-3 SECONDS TO RESPOND TO PEDAL PUSH AND THEN TAKE OFF. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN STOPPING FOR PEDESTRIANS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING, PERIOD. HERE IS THE LINK TO ALL OF MY DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE CASE: HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/OPEN?ID=1PPUP9UYZ-CXIVPDURSJ1DD07WJXEWOAK

THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 12 OR SO TIMES. I DIDN'T KEEP TRACK UNTIL IT WAS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE. I HAVE RECORDED IT ON VIDEO ABOUT HALF DOZEN TIMES AND PROVIDED THIS TO ACURA. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO A SPEED I TOUCH THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I THEN PRESS THE RESUME BUTTON TO RETURN TO CRUISE CONTROL. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT COME BACK ON, BUT THE INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHES (AS IF IT WERE COMING BACK ON) AND STAYS OFF. I'M UNABLE TO EVEN SET A NEW SPEED. FLIPPING THE TOGGLE TO RESUME OR SET DOES THE SAME THING, NOTHING. ON EVERY OCCASION THE ONLY WAY TO RESTORE THE CRUISE CONTROL TO WORK WAS TO STOP THE CAR, SHUT IT OFF, THEN RESTART THE CAR (REBOOT). ON ONE OCCASION, I HAD TO DO THE REBOOT PROCESS THREE TIMES TO RESTORE THE ABILITY TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO SEVERAL VIDEOS I TOOK ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAD PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WHO WITNESSED THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, STATE ROADS, AND TOWN ROADS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS SET FROM ABOUT 30 MPH TO 74 MPH. IT HAPPENS DAY OR NIGHT, ON COLD AND HOT DAYS. I DON'T RECALL THAT IT HAS HAPPENED DURING RAIN. *TR

STRONG REFLECTION OF DASHBOARD PARTS ON FRONT WINDSHIELD AND IN LEFT AND RIGHT BACK TRAFFIC VIEW MIRRORS.

1. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE RES BUT DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD FOR 1-2 SECONDS. 2. CAR DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR AND LURCHES FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A STOP. 3. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ABRUPTLY AND ROUGH DURING ALMOST ALL ACCELERATIONS.

ACCELERATION FROM LOW GEARS REV RPM UP TO 6000 WHEN MOVING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. WHEN GOING ONTO HIGHWAY SAME THING ANYTHING LOWER THAN 20 MPH HAS A HESITATION. NOT SURE WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE.
