ACURA NEVER AGAIN!

There is a very big problem on shifting gears just seconds after you change. A "bucking" motion occurs as you drive, jerking the car and happens every time you stop and start your car on the road. It's as if you're driving a stick shift and you did not remove the clutch in time. Awful feeling, not reliable. The Acura dealership said "yes we know there is a problem with the transmission- there is no current solution, you gotta live with it." Another big problem is the technology package- phone connection with calls and messaging are full of glitches and now my messaging abilities do not even work (reading out loud or sending them by speaking to the car). Acura dealership also says they have no updates for these problems. After spending close to $60,000 for a "luxury" automobile, it is very unfortunate that the Acura company gets your money and runs.also if you get a text , Anytime you change the shift, if your parking going back-and-forth it keeps repeating text to you. Finding the contact also impossible, It gives 56 different options. And when I took it to the dealership they tell me there is no update on the technology.

If you are looking for a trouble free SUV especially with electronic parts of a car you can count this car out. I have owned this car since 2016 and at first it was great. Year 2019 comes all kinds of issues show up. The best about this even people from acura cannot figure it out. So please choose wisely

Great car but with a few issues

I liked overall feel of the car. It is roomy for 6’3” person. The acceleration was not the best though with the car taking about 10 seconds to really take off with some noticeable noise. This particular car had some exterior damage which was not accounted for in the price. That was a reason I did not got for it.
