2016 TLX v4 transmission jerk nightmare

A long time Acura owner loved my TL. Car was totaled and decided to buy a new car between TLX and mazda 6 GT. I heard the 2015 transmission problem and was told by dealer the problem has fixed. Searching online found no report on the 2016 model and people talking about the problem has been fixed by updating software (I was wondering if they are hired by acura!!). I did tested the car I want to buy for 30 min stop-go many times and noticed nothing (at 65F). After 400 miles or so the car started to jerk at 0-30 mile/hr at all first 3 gears 80% to time (between 32F to 50F temperature). Now at 700 miles the car started to jerk when slowing the car from 30 - 0 miles/hr. What a nightmare to drive the car. I hope Acura come out a real solution to the issue and fix the problem.

There are higher performance cars out there, as well as ones with more plush interiors. But for a perfect blend of sportiness, quiet, smooth ride, comfort, tech features and outstanding stereo system, and cost, I found the TLX to be the perfect car for me. So much intelligence and consideration for the driver went into this car. I got the 4 cylinder, 2.4 liter, dual clutch 8 speed transmission with Tech Package, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a practical but enjoyable blend of sportiness, luxury, and affordability. Update: After two years, I still love the car. Only small criticisms. The key fob signal will not be detected by the car door or trunk if it is in your pocket with your cell phone. I often have to take the key fob out of my pocket to get the door to unlock. A small inconvenience. Also, I wish the car had more "pickup", but once you get used to how it responds, you can work with it's responses to get what you need from it in terms of pickup and speed.

2016 and the transmission is still bad!

Reading some of these reviews, I wonder who writes them. Honda Motor Company no doubt. I have been very disappointed in this car which I got 3 months ago. It has been in the shop 3 times to fix the rough shifting. In stop and go traffic it is a nightmare. The mechanic acknowledged they still have many complaints. It is a software problem.... With eight gears it can't always decide which gear to go to. So far no software to fix it. I've asked for out of my lease but they say no. I feel stuck with a $400 a month annoying experience. If they ever fix the problem it will be a pretty good car but the transmission on the 2016 4 cylinder is not ready for prime time yet.

I did a lot of research and drove quite a few cars and couldn't find anything that has all the TLX has to offer. It's comfortable and sporty at the same time. I love the technology and the ability to stay connected. For the price the European cars are far behind.

I have taken this car to the dealership three times and complained about the hard stopping. They said it was a software issue and they fixed it. It continues to do the same. Tired of the car.
