Transmission is jerking when its shifting from 1st to second really hard. Car feels like it shifts,lunges forward. When going downhill its rpm goes to 4 to 5 thousad rpm. Very unsafe . The transmission control module needs to be recalled ASAP!!!!!!!.
While driving at 60 mph in left lane of highway, without warning, the vehicle slowed and lost all acceleration and slowed, and then a series of warnings lit up on the screen including: electronic parking brake error, a transmission warning pertaining to the zf 9 speed transmission that demanded driver to pull over to the side to avoid major damage, and emissions failure warning. Then numerous other warnings displayed indicating collision warning system issues, and warnings that other driver safety systems had disengaged or failed. The transmission automatically switched to neutral (which I could only figure out 10 seconds later) as the accelerator would rev the engine but provide no motive force, making changing lanes across 3 lanes of traffic on a busy highway very dangerous as my car decelerated relatively quickly to fast moving highway traffic. After I pulled over and stopped the car, I tried turning off the car and restarting the car, and the transmission error and emissions system error was immediately displayed and prevented the vehicle from being put into drive. I tried to get a hold of the Acura towing service but was stuck on hold for 20 minutes and hung up. I started the car once again, and no errors were shown. I was able to drive 1/2 a mile and the transmission once again disengaged into neutral and emissions system warning came up again and I pulled over once again. I once again waited 20 minutes and restarted the car and drove 3 miles to a shopping center parking lot and let the car sit for 1. 5 hours. When I returned, I started the car and everything seemed fine, and I was able to drive 35 miles home with the emissions system warning and transmission system warning displaying but the car remained in gear. I took the car to the dealer the next day (with the car still covered under extended warranty), and Acura performed a software update (pgm-fi and tcm and pcm idle learn updates), for which they initially said I was responsible to pay for.
Tl the contact owns a 2015 Acura Tlx. While driving approximately 75-80 mph, the vehicle independently shifted from drive into neutral. The contact was unable to shift the vehicle back into drive. The contact turned the vehicle off and back on, and was able to shift the vehicle into park, neutral, and drive; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to fayetteville Acura (located at 2022 skibo rd, fayetteville, nc 28314, (910) 864-1449) where diagnostic trouble codes p0716 (pcm) and b2a60-97 (power train) were located. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was presently still at the dealer. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v640000 (power train). The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
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. - mark samely.
It seems like my brand new Acura Tlx is having issues with it’s 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. . Read more...
