While driving, all adas and emmision system malfunctioned and went offline (errors appear on main control panel and these features were no longer working). Fortunately, the car was otherwise still drivable without these features. It was brought to a local Acura dealer and they performed a software update which fixed the problem (at least so far after a week of driving).
Since we have had the car we have had multiple issues with the car jerking and shifting hard after driving in s mode then going to standard mode. Dealership told us the transmission is "sensitive" in our model year and if we go 1 mile overdue for a transmission fluid flush we will have shudder/jerking/ hard shifting. (we have changed the transmission fluid 1-2x since have had the car, which is within range of recommended). Last episode- battery was dead, jumpstarted and car jerking at low speeds to the point I did not drive it and had it told. We were also told their was a short in the circuit board that controlled Acuralink and what charged the battery. Jerking transmission related per dealership. Lastly the sound for the blind spot monitoring is intermittently not working.
