This car is a total lemon - do not purchase. i have had this car to the dealer 9 times in 12 months for non routine maintenance issues and it is getting towed there again today. myriad of issues from lack of brakes to jerking transmission to flat out won't start. i purchased an acura for a reliable car and that is most certainly not what i own now. i have an open case with acura corporate but the dealer (pohanka acura, chantilly va) will not stand behind the vehicles they sell. buyer beware of this car!!
Leased the vehicle on 12/7/2015 . after a few hours off the lot the the transmission shifted roughly from 2-3 gear. also experienced sporadic gear shifts.
Hard shifts on 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd causing whiplash-like reaction. shifts occurs after what it seems to be a pause in acceleration then engine revs for 500 to 1k rpm before shifting, then the car will lunge forward. acura has performed software updates. it reduced the hard shifts but it is still there. i have to tighten my neck and brace for a hardshift i know is coming.
Hesitation when pressing on the gas pedal not safe when changing lanes on the highway and needing to gain speed quickly. hard shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear causes the car to jerk when driving normally on city streets. unsuspecting passengers may experience whip-lash.
There is an issue with the tlx awd transmissions. car doesn't shift properly and reports or surging or gears not engaging are being reported. http://acurazine.com/forums/problems-fixes-420/9at-hard-shift-1-2-2-3-a-919230/
Can you please investigate the 2015 acura tlx with the 9sp transmission? there is unintended acceleration when slowing down, unanticipated surging, and unexpected hesitation when attempting to accelerate. this is a known issue within honda but there has been no recall or public fix from honda. i included the purchase date of the car but the above happens at various times. http://acurazine.com/forums/5g-tlx-problems-fixes-420/9at-hard-shift-1-2-2-3-a-919230
From takeoff, the gear shift from 2nd to 3rd is "hard"/firm/jerky. almost as if there is a power hesitation then slams hard into gear. this is only gear shift position where a problem exists. only happens from dead stop takeoff.
After purchasing the vehicle new, immediately noticed hard and delayed shifting. shifting between 1-4 gears was very hard. at times transmission seemed to be confused and would either pick the wrong gear or would take 2-3 seconds to finally engage into gear. on one particular occurrence while driving in a parking lot at about 15 mph i approached a stop sign and let off the accelerator. as soon as i let off the pedal the car dropped into gear so abruptly that it made the car lunge forward about a foot or two. on another occurrence i was driving on a residential street going around a traffic circle once again at approx 15mph i let off the accelerator for a moment as i went around the circle. just as i was exiting the circle i depressed the accelerator to move quickly away since i saw another vehicle entering the circle. at this point the rpm's went above 3500 and the car did not shift and did not move. it appeared that the car was in neutral. it took about 1-2 seconds before the transmission was able to "find" a gear at which point it lunged forward abruptly. both situation i did not have control of the vehicle because of the transmission. both situations i was unable to control the vehicle in a safe manor. i have also at times needed to accelerate quickly into a merge lane and when "stomping" on the gas nothing would happen for 2-3 seconds.
While the vehicle was unattended (no driver present) and transmission was engaged in park; i was present when using the remote started. upon starting (vehicle was started), it rolled up a slight inclined driveway roughly 3-6 inches , under power; then rolled back she same distance. then a distinct click was heard. the car continued running in idle as normal with the remote start. acura has reported transmission issues with the potential for the car to disengage from park (model sh-awd) and roll away. this car was recalled for "roll" while parked and not running, , but passed and inspection by the dealer. unlike the previous recall this issue entailed a "shift into forward", from park, under power while unattended. i notified acura customer service to report it, was told to bring it in, but if the issue cannot be recreated then it cannot be repaired. this event coupled with the previous recall, has me concerned that acura is not addressing serious safety concerns of its consumers.
2015 acura tlx leased from dealer with just 6 miles. the car exhibited very jerky shifts at low speed. there is usually, but no 100% of the time, one rough shift/vehicle motion just it hit a bump when accelerating from standstill, another one at around 15 mph, and one more of the same just below 40 mph. at times, the car will jerk forward just before it comes to a complete stop. the car also is very difficulty, nearly impossible, to bring to a smooth stop. acura dealership had diagnosed the car and decided to update its transmission software. they didn't think anything was physically damaged. the car actually drove worse after the reprogramming. the car was rough and jerky at speed between 1 to 40 mph. after several days, the car/transmission seemed to have "learned" how to behave and now i am just left with the rough shift, jerking, and slippage like issues as i had before the service. i am going to the dealership for a second time for the stated problem on november 2. i am hoping that everything will be resolved or acura would take ownership of the problems and declare the vehicle/transmission was manufactured with problems that can not be corrected. i would like acura to either provide me with a tlx without the problems, or another comparable acura vehicle to replace the leased vehicle, or buy back the leased acura tlx. i would like the nhtsa to help address my particular issues as well as help other owners by making acura address the widespread problems with this particular year/model of the tlx.
I have had many episodes with this car. the first one, i was stopped at a stop sign with a car ahead of, and behind me, when i released the brake, i tried to move forward, and it felt like i got hit from behind, the car lurched forward. another time, my husband was backing out of a parking spot, and he hit a telephone in front of him. he is unclear what happened. we had damage to the front of the car which we had to repair. another time, i was driving in economy mode in traffic, when i released the brake, and started to accelerate, the car didn't move initially, then after a second or two, it raced forward with my foot off the accelerator, and i hit the vehicle in front of me. only my car was damaged. the dealer and acura corporate then inspected it and i was told "nothing was wrong". many times now, while driving the car, it seems that the engine shifts into neutral while i'm driving it. if i continue to accelerate, it will be stuck for a few seconds, then propels me forward with a jerk. i was trying to do a lane change last week, and the car didn't respond to my foot on the accelerator, like the engine was "stuck". i was lucky there wasn't a car behind me, because i changed lanes, then abruptly slowed down.i treated it like a hydroplane, i didn't accelerate, and the engine returned to normal functioning. later that day, i was driving toward a toll booth, and again, i felt the engine shift and it wouldn't respond to my foot on the accelerator. this car is unsafe. i do not feel as if i can drive it safely. i am stuck in a lease for two more years. i would really like them to acknowledge transmission problems and get it repaired.
Vehicle 'hesitates' or 'stumbles'. usually between 10 - 30 mph when trying to accelerate such as turning in front of oncoming traffic at a light, entering an expressway, or passing. engine/transmission pauses 1 - 3 seconds before rpms move vehicle forward. seems like transmission doesn't know what gear it is in or needs to fulfill the demands of the driver. i am afraid to drive not knowing when it may fail completely placing me and other motorists in harms way. related may be the car on cruise control. vehicle speed can vary by 10 - 15 mph. dealership and acura claims vehicle is performing as designed. if this is true then i have no recourse but to drive an unsafe vehicle. there are an excessive amount of similar complaints on the internet along with a class action suits. this failure was evident during test drives but i felt it was my driving technique. in all i have driven three of this exact model and they all exhibit this failure.
Acura 2015 tlx advanced has hesitation or stumbles when trying to accelerate from low speed up to 40+ mph. (merging into traffic, passing, turning onto entrance ramp, or similar situations) has occurred from delivery. dealership has twice inspected and states that nothing is wrong. told me to try this "fix" and let us know. i have driven hundreds of miles in 3 loaner cars of exact same type and all have exhibited same failure. i am a driver with 55 years of experience. this is a design failure. this condition is unsafe and will cause injury or death.
I own a 2015 tlx v4 tech and there seems to be an obvious problem, which the dealerships seems to neglect, with the transmission. i've had my vehicle checked out 2 times since i first purchased it back in july of 2015, and the dealership tech. specialists know it is there but they aren't able to resolve the problem even through a "software update". the problem is that the vehicle jerks forward, sometime when making a stop it launches forward- as if someone had rear-ended me. the secondary problem is that when i merge onto the freeway there is a major lag and the transmission fails to shift. takes about 3 seconds to engage to full speed which in terms it's extremely hazardous because of of other vehicles that cease to slowdown and give me the right-of-way. i demand the manufacturer be aware of this issues that i contemplate on a daily basis before something tragic happens to me or my fellow tlx drivers.
It seems like my brand new acura tlx is having issues with its zf 9-speed transmission. it hesitates and shifts hard going from 2nd to 3rd gear. a lot of tlx owners having this issue and there is currently a 9-page thread on acurazine about this issue. you can read more about this issue from this thread: http://acurazine.com/forums/problems-fixes-420/9at-hard-shift-1-2-2-3-a-919230/ i took the tlx to the dealer and they have done a tcm reset and idle relearn. it seems that for a couple of days, the shifting was smoother after the reset. unfortunately, the issue then recurred. my tlx still shifts hard between 2nd and 3rd gear. i'm a little bit concerned about safety. sometimes, this hard shift or hesitation happens as i am turning left from a stopped position. i am concerned that i wouldn't be able to turn as quickly as i need to be. in fact, this exact thing happened this morning. i am thankful that the car that was going straight saw me and slowed down.
Transmission is very jerky at low speeds when cold and hits a hard shift between 2nd to 3rd gear. all other gear changes are unnoticeable however 2nd going to 3rd always shifts hard. read online and other owners are having the same issue. despite the fact that certain cars are being recalled for transmission issues, all tlxs should be checked
This car continues to jerk back and forth, fail to find the right gear, and downshift suddenly regardless of what driving mode you're in. there have been times when pressure is applied to the pedal and nothing happens creating dangerous road situations. the transmission is a complete failure and i've been told that there is nothing the dealer can do about it.
Attempted to merge into an appropriate gap in traffic that was going approx. 45mph. car hesitated for roughly 2 seconds before downshifting into a lower gear in order to pick up speed, this caused other drivers to react to my much slower car not picking up speed as it should have. acura has been contacted many times and has failed to fix this problem, inherit in these cars from reading complaints online about this car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 acura tlx. while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle shook violently. the failure also occurred when shifting from first to second gear. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 550.
I leased an acura tlx (4-cylinder) in october 2014. almost since the beginning, the transmission of the car has been very jerky and stiff, especially when cold. there are times when pressing the gas pedal produces no effect, and there have been times when i have pulled out into an intersection and the transmission seemed to shift into neutral, leaving the car motionless for seconds. the hard shifting occurs primarily when the car is cold, and in the lower gears. the feeling of shifting into neutral occurs randomly with no obvious contributing factors. i returned the car to the dealer when the car had about 200 miles on it, and they claimed to find no problems. i have not returned to the dealership since (the car has about 5300 miles on it now), but i will be returning in the near future. *tr
To whom it may concern, i own a 2015 acura tlx (4 cylinder model with 8 speed automatic transmission) which i purchased a few months ago and would like to file the following complaint: 1.on stop and go traffic the transmission is jerky (almost every time). this means that when the transmission shifts, it creates a shutter that reverberates throughout the car. 2. after driving 1 mile or so and coming to a complete stop, especially during cold start, the transmission lurches forward very hard ( like someone rear ended) doesn't happen all the time but happens often to dislike (four times total). very scary when you feel like you may rear end someone. 3. when slowing down, say coming to a traffic light and not coming to complete stop and making right or left turn at say about 10mph speed or so, and hit on the gas pedal to speed up, the transmission hesitates and doesn't know which gear to engage thus making very jerky feel. 4. every time cold start, transmission shifts in 1st and 2nd gear are very hard. dealership claimed to test drive the vehicle and then proceeded to tell me that this was "normal" for the transmission to do that. i find this very unacceptable! this car needs to be recalled and they need to find a resolution because this is a severe safety issue and a threat to my own personal safety. acura, take some responsibility and fix this issue, i'm not the only one experiencing these problems. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 acura tlx. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced abnormal jerking between gears, abnormal acceleration when starting, and abnormal shifting while driving 45 mph. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission fluid needed to be replaced and the shift point software needed to be updated. the vehicle was repaired but after 500 miles, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 1,500.
Vehicle has inconsistent shifts in lower gears. also, shifting is inconsistent when pushing down on the accelerator.
Long lag and heavy clunk shifting from "r" to "d"; delay during acceleration after momentarily letting off gas - engine revs up and then the car slams into gear; occasional hard jerk after stopping (like the car has been rear-ended); random rough up and down shifting at slow speeds (under 40mph) car was purchased new and has had these issues since purchase. *tr
It is shifting hard when it downshifts , it is slamming into gear when downshifting. when starting from a dead stop it sometimes will just rev up and not move, you have to let off accelerator then push again to get it to move. when cold the transmission jerks during normal shifting. this does not happen all the time, is only does it occasionally , it is at dealership right now and they say nothing is wrong. *tr
The car lunges forward when i take my foot off the gas and have very little time to apply the brake. as a result, the car seems to pull forward and require additional braking to stop. very rough shift between second and third gear. there is also a delay or hesitation with acceleration. the dealer told me they could not pull any diagnostic error codes, all the other cars on the lot they tested have the same problem and they received numerous complaints. the dealer is waiting on acura to come up with a solution. *tr
9 speed zf transmission shifts roughly from 1-2 and 2-3 with 2-3 being the worse. dealer service states this is normal for the transmission do to torque matching or something like that. i find that hard to believe based on all the other issues this transmission is having in other manufactures vehicles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 acura tlx. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and changed gear aggressively. the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. the dealer downloaded the computer software but the failure persisted. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
I own a 2015 acura tlx 2.4l 4 cylinder: 1.on stop and go traffic the transmission is jerky (almost every time). this means that when the transmission shifts, it creates a shutter that reverberates throughout the car. 2. after driving 1 mile or so and coming to a complete stop, especially during cold start, the transmission lurches forward very hard ( like someone rear ended) doesn't happen all the time but happens often to dislike (four times total). very scary when you feel like you may rear end someone. 4. when slowing down, say coming to a traffic light and not coming to complete stop and making right or left turn at say about 10mph speed or so, and hit on the gas pedal to speed up, the transmission hesitates and doesn't know which gear to engage thus making very jerky feel. 5. every time cold start, transmission shifts in 1st and 2nd gear are very hard. *tr
1. step on accelerator and the car jolts forward like it is in the wrong gear or you slam the accelerator, or the clutch is released rapidly. jerks ones head back. 2.come to a stop, transmission downshifts hard causing the car to lunge forward overpowering the brake. (engine at idle). most of the time it feels like someone has tapped you from behind. . when it occurs it is usually the first 2-3 times i come to a stop in a trip. 3.driving on level or slight decline, let off accelerator and slow to make a turn to go up a hill, step on accelerator as you transition uphill transmission slips out of gear (as if you are holding the clutch in and releasing it too slowly) then searches for the correct gear required to go up the hill and accelerate. (engine near idle) 4.most of my driving is in the city. . stop and go. . slow and go. . .
The car has a had a hard or delayed shift from reverse to drive when cold from the time i bought the car, but last week the car slipped/shifted out of gear like it was in neutral when i accelerated from a stop to go through an intersection. the car was in economy mode at the time. acura did an update on the transmission for hesitating and lurching around january 15, 2015. the car is at the dealership now. *tr
Issue 1 - basically, when the car is cold (as in hasn't been driven for about 3 hours or more) it shifts pretty hard 1-2, 2-3, etc. regardless of the ids mode. however, it seems that it is less pronounced in "econ" mode, probably because it softens the shifts a bit. sometimes it is more noticeable than other times. it also seems that it is even slipping a bit when accelerating from a stop, kind of like in a manual transmission when you let the clutch slip too much. when the car warms up to operating temp, i really don't notice it shifting hard at all, and in fact the shifts are almost imperceptible 90-95% of the time. issue 2 - when slowing down (say coming to a traffic light and not coming to complete stop and making right or left turn at say about 10mph speed or so and hit on the gas pedal to speed up, the transmission hesitates and doesn't know which gear to engage thus making a very jerky feel. issue 3 - i have noticed is that when coming to a stop, sometimes it really slams into first gear, and i mean hard enough to shake the car. this happens rarely, but when it does its very disconcerting. issue 4 ? there is the 3-4 second delay when i engage the car into the (d) drive position either from (p) park or reverse. *tr
I noticed the first time i accelerated quickly to merge onto the interstate that the engine hesitated at least a second to second and half before accelerating. after that, i started noticing the same hesitation whenever i punched the gas pedal to either merge into traffic or pass someone. i have read on the internet where other owners of this vehicle have the same problem. i just took the car in for it's first oil change and i complained about this issue. the dealer ran several computer software updates on my car and said that it was up to date and that basically that is the way the car is. i feel this is a big safety issue. i have adapted to driving the car with this hesitation, but i'm not happy with it. i think acura needs to address this problem before someone gets hurt.
There was no accident. this car is the 4 cylinder, tech model. the transmission hesitates shifting from reverse to drive. it also will hesitate when turning a corner sometimes. the other problem with this car is the climate control system (listed as electrical above). it simply doesn't work correctly. the driver side tested 8 degrees different than the passenger side. so if i have the drive side set at 75 degrees for heat it feels like 68 degrees. when on the heat setting, the fan appears to disperse more out of the defroster than it does below the dash. i have to turn the car climate control setting on the driver side to 80+ degrees and use the ac dash vents to keep my upper body and hands warm. there are many complaints on the acura tlx forum about the climate control issue. i have made attempts to get acura to address the heater climate control issue. *tr
Transmission has extremely bad jerk from 2nd to 3rd gear. also, transmission tends to make car accelerate on its own sometimes. also, downshifting is too slow to make an effective pass on a highway. horrible, unsafe feeling transmission. *tr
I leased a 2015 acura tlx v6 9-speed automatic transmission on saturday, january 3, 2015. today i discovered that there is a recall for this car (based on the vin) and that in december 2014 honda motor company issued a stop sale order on this model. how was the dealership allowed to lease this car to me if a stop sale order was issued by the manufacturer? are they required by law to disclose any recall notices before selling or leasing a car? i would also like to complain about the reflection of the air vent grill in the side view mirrors. it is very distracting. i have owned six acuras since 1988, been a loyal customer of this particular dealership (2 purchases and 2 leases) since 2000 and am beyond disappointed with this vehicle. i feel that i've been completely conned and taken in by an extremely slick and false sales pitch. i've had such great experiences with acuras that it never occurred to me to doubt their word. to now discover that there is something technically wrong with the vehicle that may impact my safety and the safety of others, that the dealership should have been aware of this defect and recall notice, and did not inform me of such is reprehensible. *tr
There is a very rough upshift from second to third, on a long right hand turn when transmission is cold, in the middle of the turn, power to wheels disappears and reappears when road straitens, transmission/car surges forward on down shift 3 to 2 (sometimes). *tr
While driving the vehicle and coming to a stop, once stopped it feels like the vehicle is pulsing or shuttering forward , and when trying to accelerate the rpms go high and the vehicle jolts forward (transmission failure? the 2015 acura tlx 4 cylinder tech package is currently at the dealership for a week and a half!!! i'm not a very happy customer. *tr
Issues with transmission shifting. 1. delay of acceleration at low speed such as at an intersection (4 occurrences) where making a turn car does not readily accelerate due to being in too high of a gear while in automatic mode. after about 2 seconds, car downshifts and resumes normal acceleration. has not recurred in at least a month. 2. rough shift (lag) when car upshifts from 2nd to 3rd. this has been present since purchase and occurs regardless of what mode (auto/manual) is selected. has not improved. 3.within last 30 days, vehicle is not downshifting correctly when coming to a stop. car does not actually downshift into 1st until after it is at a complete stop resulting in a lurch. no matter how smoothly the car is brought to a stop, the final downshift in auto mode doesn't occur until after reaching a stop. the problem does not start to happen until engine/car is warm as the first few complete stops when cold are 100% ok, then after warmed up it will occur every time thereafter. 4. when engaging drive or reverse, the vehicle will begin to accelerate slightly without pedal input such as when backing out of a parking space. contacted dealer and dealer said no instructions from maker or tsb's yet and that transmission was new model and maker not sure what to expect. told dealer i would drive the car for a few more weeks to see if situation improves. did not take car in for check based on dealer comment that there was no instruction from acura yet for a fix. vehicle is now 3500 miles and issues 2, 3, 4 still occurring. *tr
Harsh shift from 2nd to 3rd gear.
The car has times where it stalls or hesitates significantly - this occurs worst in shifting from reverse to drive (there is a several second delay and then a surge forward), and there are hard shifts between 1-2 and 2-3 gears. there are also times where when coasting and you apply throttle, it is unresponsive. there have also been situations where the car downshifts very hard and lurches forward almost uncontrollably (this has only occurred in sport+ mode). *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 acura tlx. while stopped at an intersection, the vehicle jerked and stalled. the contact had to depress the accelerator pedal to get the vehicle to move. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 21,000.
While my 2015 acura tlx was parked , the vehicle rolled into my neighbors driveway!! back to the acura dealership it went, acura confirmed it rolls in park, replaced the transmission, besides that the 2015 tlx stales out while driving intermittently very unsafe !! my brand new acura has spent half the time i've had it , getting repairs at the dealer.. i don't expect this from acura. *tr
Low speed acceleration - shifting from 1st or 2nd or 3rd (not sure) gear to next gear is not smooth. it is a fairly hard shift. the rest of the shifting is smooth 4-9. also automatic downshifting creates an odd speed up for a second to what seems like a rev match to try to make it smooth, but causes problems on slippery roads. also early warning brake warning signal is very intermittent and works sometimes and not others in the exact same lighting situation and car position and same type of car directly in front of me. *tr
The vehicle has a bad hesitation which makes maneuvering in and out of traffic dangerous. several times while trying to accelerate and pass another vehicle i was almost rear-ended because of this hesitation. after several seconds of hesitating the vehicle lunges forward the rpm indicator shows a drastic increase and the engine fails to down shift properly. i have also noticed after i park my car and get out i notice a burning smell resonating from underneath the vehicle. i have brought my vehicle is for service the dealership has told me there are flaws in the tlx model and there is nothing they can do. i have also contacted acura corporate and they have been unresponsive. my feeling is the issues plaguing this car could pose a danger to the driver and other vehicles. *tr
I returned the car the day after purchase because it was lurching forward upon shifting gears, the shift was very jerky. the dealer did not diagnose a problem. i tested the car in all 4 drive modes and there did not seem to be a difference in the jerking forward. the jerking problem continued and i again took it to another dealer in fl. this dealer also stated no problem. i called the dealer that i purchased the car from, chevy chase acura, and the sales person suggested i return the car to their dealership when i return to md. i emailed the service manager but have not had a response. the jerking forward issue remains a problem. *tr
Car jerks noticeably when shifting from transmissions gears 1 to 2 and then from gears 2 to 3. *tr
I was accelerating from 40 mph to 50 mph when the car suddenly stopped accelerating, beeped, and started flashing all system errors in orange on the dash display. the car would not go above 50 mph, as if the gas was being choked off at that point. car was towed to dealer. they had the car for a week before it was "fixed". the exact same error just occurred for a second time while i was accelerating and merging into a busy highway lane. car is again at the dealer for almost a week and counting. while it hasn't caused an accident yet, this is extremely dangerous. i was nearly rear-ended when my car stopped accelerating and started decelerating on a busy highway. in between these occurrences, i have had other random errors, such as the lane departure warning system activating while driving straight down the center of a lane. when this occurs, the steering wheel is "tugged" towards the direction it thinks it needs you to go. very dangerous when the car is trying to tug you out of your lane into another. the random errors that occur are all with the same systems that flash error warnings all over the dash on the two occasions that the car has stopped functioning properly. ldw, acc, braking system, vsc...all important safety systems! *tr
Did my latest software update that came out on 02/09/15. unfortunately it did not fix the problem . i am big honda/acura fan but the new tlx 8 speed dual clutch transmission is a big letdown. this is my first honda product that i am tired of and want to be replaced. here are some of the scenarios that the transmission does not act normal and could be dangerous long lag and heavy clunk shifting from "r" to "d"; delay during acceleration after momentarily letting off gas - engine revs up and then the car slams into the gear that it finally selects - especially dangerous when coming out of a corner or attempting to accelerate after yielding in an intersection; occasional hard jerk when stopping (like the car has been rear-ended); random rough shifting at slow speeds, etc. these problems are not just uncomfortable, they're extremely dangerous! 2. after driving 1 mile or so and coming to a complete stop, especially during cold start, the transmission lurches forward very hard ( like someone rear ended) doesn't happen all the time but happens often to dislike. 4. when slowing down, say coming to a traffic light and not coming to complete stop and making right or left turn at say about 10mph speed or so, and hit on the gas pedal to speed up, the transmission hesitates and doesn't know which gear to engage thus making very jerky feel. *tr
You put the car in park and it rolls away. very dangerous! *tr
