When attempting to pass, the vehicle will have over a one second delay before it will downshift. This has led to numerous dangerous situations where rapid acceleration was necessary. This will happen whether on a city or highway street. It does not matter what mode of drive is selected, such as sport, or sport plus. I can most easily describe what happens as a dropping sensation in your stomach, and a sensation in your neck where you anticipate the car to "jump forward", yet nothing happens for over 1 second. It is quite disconcerting! I have brought this back to the dealership on three occasions and had two repairs done under warranty, and I paid for two portions of the visits. From researching the internet, this is a very common problem for this model of Acura.
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.
