This is my 2nd Acura and my 5th purchase in the Honda family. I want so much to love this car - it’s sporty and fun to drive, and the seats are so comfortable! It’s interior is pretty and it has a ton of options that I love. But all of that falls short when the car just won’t drive despite my diligence in servicing. At 30k miles in and after multiple transmission software updates, I had to completely replace the transmission. I have an undiagnosed electrical issue that sometimes results in the car not recognizing my keys, not turning on, arbitrarily disabling my garage door openers, and generating a buzzing noise when I use the touch screen system that makes me fear I’m going to be shocked. The navigation system is so convoluted that you can’t adjust your air conditioning or radio until it’s fully booted and the seals on my back doors have been replaced multiple times. Because of the massive recall on their transmissions, the voluntary extension of warranty to 10 years, a lawsuit over the transmissions and some really terrible critic reviews, the car has depreciated so much that I’d have to pay someone to take it off my hands. And I just got a call for the latest if recall work - a fuel pump control. I absolutely loved my MDX but I wouldn’t wish this TLX on anyone.

What an expensive heap of junk I've leased! I've had transmission issues from the 1st week I've had the car; Had the car in for service 8 times for the same transmission problem (car lurches forward after I come to a stop WHILE I HAVE MY FOOT FIRMLY PRESSED DOWN ON THE BREAK); Now the interior is falling apart....part of the drivers seat (plastic section) where the seat controls are has cracked and broken off.....now I'll be dropping my car off to have that fixed. It's laughable that Acura/American Honda Motor Company has labeled the TLX a "luxury car". Trust me it's not......but don't bother trying to get your dealership OR even American Honda Motor Company to address their poorly designed, crappy built and unsafe transmissions, because you will get no where with them. Believe me, I've fought the battle and lost. Do yourself a favor, don't lease or buy anything vehicle that is manufactured by Acura or American Honda Motor Company....you might as well buy a Ford Pinto.

Don’t go by reviews! Well just consider people complain much much more often than they praise. Just like all my ACURA cars, this one has been equally fabulous! Not a single problem 3years and 68k mi later..Flawless and I have found an honest dealership which never happens. I trade every 3-4 yrs. I may not. I think this thing cruises to 100k without a whimper.. dang good car.

Horrible Transmission

After many years driving BMWs, I decided to try an Acura in 2015. This car has a 9 speed automatic and it has terrible shifting. It goes faster when you take your foot of the gas because it slips into neutral and jerks horribly when shifting down into 2nd or 3rd gear. It has to be worth a class action lawsuit for the defective transmission on a premium car.

The transmission is so unpredictable especially at lower speeds. The fuel economy is not anywhere the sticker stated and I use the recommended fuel. They say they can't do. Anything with the trans. That's what they call normal. I have had 3 previous Acuras and never a problem.
