I bought a new 2016 TLX 2.4 in August 2016. My fifth Acura. I was assured by the dealer that, even though I'd read that the 2015 cars were experiencing transmission issues, the problem had been resolved in the 2016 models. Right away I began experiencing transmission hiccups in lower gears as speed increased. The car would hesitate significantly, then lurch forward as I increased speed. Really scary, especially when leaving a rest area or going onto a highway from an on ramp. Worse, as I braked and then almost came to a stop, the car sometimes jerked forward. This situation was truly dangerous. There is a class action filed in California concerning this precise issue. You should also know that the tech package is really worthless at best and another safety issue at worst. The brake warning beep and signal as well as the rear assist signal operate completely without regard to whether a car, person, or object is nearby. The dealer tried to fix these problems twice, once in October and once during the MONTH they had the car in December. I got it back in January and drove it 45 miles. During that period, I experienced no fewer than eight of the transmission incidents described above. I have read that even when the transmission is replaced, the problem hasn't resolved. I finally refused to drive the car any more, fearing for my life or that of a pedestrian. Please do NOT buy this car. It is not safe.

I bought this car brand new. Ever since I purchased the vehicle I have had issues that Acura refused to fix.. started with having to replace multiple batteries, AC turning off randomly. The door locks not working. Stay away from this vehicle.

Unfortunately the abs system had mechanical problems. Was driving and vehicle brakes locked up. Car ended up totaled as a result. It's a chance taken when buying a used vehicle. Brakes and ABS don't show up on car fax reports.

Everything is extremely good except for some reason they have the worst tires. Performance would probably be much better with a quality high performance tire.
