Car constantly shifts hard between gears 1-2 and when traveling down hill rpms increase and when the the bottom of hill it shifts hard in gear.

At 70 mph the vehicle lost power, all warning lights came on, I had to maneuver thru traffic and drift to the shoulder, the transmission was locked up and could not be shifted from park to any gear, the accelerator would not work. The car had to be towed. The dealership said the vehicle computer had to be re-flashed/programmed. This condition could have caused an accident for an inexperienced driver. There are no fault codes indicated as to why or what caused this issue. I did find through research that a wiring harness is causing these conditions in the make, model and year vehicle. Also the transmission is related to this problem.

Traveling on interstate in the middle lane when my cars transmission went in to neutral and the instrument panel started to flash error messages I. E. Stop driving when safe transmission problem see manual,electrical parking brake problem, emissions systems problem, transmission system problems, transmission problem apply parking brake when parked, all wheel drive system problem, and blind spot info system problem. All I can do is cost over two lanes of traffic and get to the side of the interstate in fear of an accident.
The car nearly stalls, rolled back 3-4 feet prior to restarting after the idle stop had in- gauged. The transmission shifts from 1-4 like someone who never drove with a clutch, even though it is an automatic. It hesitates and nearly stalls when doing slow maneuvering in and around parking lots and slow traffic. I have nearly had accidents due to the hesitation in traffic. When using cruise control out on the expressway, the car will not maintain its set speed on a downhill grade, it gets jerky and increases speed as much as 10-12 mph unless I ride the brake. I have had it back to the dealer twice now, the first time they did all the updates on the computer and fuel pump. . . Its just as bad if not worse. The car is not safe and should have a complete recall!!! the next questions ask for a specific time and date. . . This is ongoing and has been happening since I purchased the car in January.
Transmission is really rough when shifting to gears 1,2, and 3. It is getting worse the more I drive. Also, very slow and rough shift from park to drive. When I am driving uphill from a full stop, I hear a loud thud and feel a hard jerk when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear and 2nd to 3rd. When I am driving downhill and approaching a stop, it dangerously accelerates the car forward after shifting down to 3rd, 2nd, and 1st gear. It is also very abrupt and jerky during those shifts down.
If engine stalls car places it self in park and will not let you put it in neutral. Therefore, you can't get the vehicle out of harms way. This is a safety hazard.
I have had the vehicle into the dealer 3 times (Feb 2018, July 2018 and Nov 18) for the same problem. Each time the vehicle stalls and must bet into park and restarted when at a stop sign, stop light or stopped for road construction on the highway. The automatic idle causes the car to stall. In order to get it going must shift into park and restart. It is very frightening because it happens intermittently. This happens with no warning and presents a safety issue. The car is not safe and is a hazard.
When stop at a traffic light. The car goes into auto- off mode. When the light changes green and you apply the gas. The car shifts to netraul and will not go into drive. I have to shut the car off and turn it back on. I have had this happen three times since I purchased this vehicle three weeks ago. The car has 29632 miles on it.
Vehicle lunges forward after making a complete stop. It's very dangerous at stop lights and crosswalks.

While driving my 2015 Acura Tlx the car shifted into neutral completely by itself while making left turn at a stop sign this caused the vehicle to not have the ability to move forward as I attempted to put the vehicle in drive it was completely unresponsive and left me stranded in the middle of the road almost getting hit by a semi truck. This is not the first time this issue has happened and I am afraid for my safety and the safety of my family. I gave Acura customer service line a call since my vehicle was not on the list for current recall to fix the exact issue I am reporting and that there was nothing they could do about it.
Battery acid from the manufacturer's original battery leaked, and damaged the transmission wiring harness, which sits underneath the battery. Until detected, this caused sporadic warnings and multiple malfunctions while driving that would appear, but then go away. Some months later, the car started but the computer would not shift from park. The instrument cluster listed numerous, unrelated system issues: "adaptive cruise control problem" ; "stop driving when safe. Transmission problem. See manual. " ; "electric parking brake problem" ; "emissions system problem" ; "transmission system problem" ; "transmission problem apply parking brake when parked" ; "vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem" ; "precision all wheel steer problem" ; "collision mitigation system problem" ; "road departure mitigation system problem" ; "blind spot info system problem. " this vehicle has a shift-by-wire drive selector, and there is no mechanical way for a consumer to disengage the transmission from the drivetrain. The vehicle was stuck in park and needed special equipment to be safely moved onto a tow-truck, which took the manufacturer's roadside service two days to address. The wiring harness was replaced under warranty, but took several days for a repair. The 2015 Acura Tlx seems to be known for reacting in this way for any type of electrical or voltage variability from any number of its electronic systems, including while driving.
As the car is downshifting and coming to a stop the transmission jerks forward just as the car is coming to a complete stop or immediately after it stops. Does this every so often and the dealer did reset the transmission for it to relearn but still does it since and because they can't drive it enough to duplicate it there has been nothing they can do to resolve it.
The transmission shift from 2-3 gear gives a jerk to the whole vehicle. This is usually problematic while accelerating specially in heavy/busy traffic or at traffic signals. I believe this could be a threat to public safety. The service center claims the "intelligent car" will learn my driving habits and adapt. However, this has been happening since I bough the vehicle and multiple visits to Acura service center has not resolved the issue.
Transmission is skipping. I notified the dealer and they have not completed the transmission assembly replacement. I bought this to the attention of the dealer and the salesperson. The skip is happening between the first and second gear change; jerking between the two. This issue has been reported to all 2015 Tlx owners. I am reaching out for your support to get this resolved. They seem to be avoiding responsibility to do these repairs. Any re?commend dealers to complete the repairs.

After driving on freeway about 5 hours transmission suddenly went into neutral and a transmission warning light displayed on the dashboard. Numerous big rigs were around me at the time that came close to colliding with my vehicle.
New car purchased in 2015. Currently has about 23k miles. Error lights flash on dash including "transmission system problems, blind spot info system problems, vehicle stability assist problem, all wheel steering problem, forward collision warning problem, lane departure waring problem". This is the third time that it has happened. First time, no video evidence of it but we did take it in to Acura to look. No issue found. Second time we had a video, they did a software upgrade. Now again. Along with this, car had a transmission replaced, steering rack and pinion, sub frame, power steering assembly, list goes on.
Vehicle shifted into park while driving between 35-40 miles per hour.
The transmission is extremely jumpy, all of the warning lights come on and flash, along with the engine will power down temporarily. For example one time I was going approx 50mph and it powered down to about 30 mph on the freeway. All of the warning lights start flashing, I pulled over turned the car off and then restarted it. The warning lights remained flashing but the engine functioned but the transmission still was jerky. This was happened at least 5 separate times and we have had it in service with Acura several times and each time they try to fix the same complaints with a different fix. Most recently we had it in for repair for a week, we got it back, drove it 200 miles and the same error happened. Acura finally agreed to replace the transmission and I just picked it back up on 1/6/17 and the same error and transmission issue occurred today. We have notified the dealership, the nmvb, Acura customer relations, and now we are reaching out to the NHTSA. We do not feel safe in this vehicle and we are afraid that the transmission will idle down again on the freeway but maybe in a lane that we cannot immediately pull over safely.

Extremely inconsistent operation of 9 speed zf transmision. Have taken to dealer numerous times where they admitted the rough shift but said it was performing properly. Issues with transmision are as follows. Lags when up shifting in first two gears before neck snapping up shift to next gear. In midrange gears vibratatin can be felt while up shifting. Transmission is slow in down shifting, sometime starting off in second gear. Car drifts back a foot in park.
With only 12000 miles and less than a year of having the brand new vehicle, the transmission went out completely and left me stranded. It was acting a bit funny that morning driving, when I went to start it again, all warnings went off and I was unable to put the car in gear.
I have been to the dealer 2 times for transmission problems. The car has poor acceleration and hesitates shifting. When ur trying to speed up it has a delay which has gotten me very close to 2 accidents. Shifting is also very rough, it kicks in hard. The dealer did a transmission update and the problem persists. Took it back again they scanned for codes and said they can't find any issue. I feel this car is dangerous and the transmission needs to be replaced before an accident occurs.
Hi, I have a problem with my transmission and I can push the car a feet or so when the car is in park. Or if parked in an incline I the car moves back atleast one fourth to half tire rotation. I saw a recall NHTSA recall no. : 14v-779 that had VIN ranges from begin :19uub3f71fa000059 end :19uub3f51fa002585 my VIN number is well within this range and neither dealership or Acura has any knowledge of the recall applied. I also don't see any recalls listed in safecar. Gov as for this car as well. Need assistance is making sure either the recall is applicable or if its done already need necessary documentation.
I have a 2015 Acura Tlx 4cyl. It is a very nice looking car however there is something wrong with the transmission. I have taken it into the Acura dealership and they have confirmed that there is something wrong however they are not sure what. All they tell me is that there are no codes coming up telling them what it is. They just tell me that everything is documented so if and when there is a recall I have proof that it has been ongoing. When you are stopped and then proceed to go the car will jerk and hesitate to shift to next gear. This can happen while you are driving also, if you have to brake and then start again. Its very upsetting I have owned Acuras before, the Acura tl and the Acura integra, both cars had a high performance. This car not so much. When is Acura going to do something about this?? there hasn't been just one episode this is an everyday occurrence.
