| ACURAs savior - the TLX.....RECALLED - transmission problem
2015 Acura TLX Under Stop Sale Over Transmission Issue » AutoGuide.com News
The 2015 Acura TLX is already running into some issues with its nine-speed transmission. (V6 model only)
The Japanese automaker has told its dealers to stop selling the 2015 TLX sedan and has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a recall notice that will affect approximately 9,500 units of the TLX equipped with a V6 engine. The issue involves the transmission indicator displaying “Park” without the transmission actually engaging park. According to Acura, during manufacturing of the nine-speed transmission, there was a possibility that contamination could cause the parking pawl not to engage or the park rod could have been damaged during assembly. As a result, the park rod could dislodge, preventing the transmission from shifting into the Park position.
Increasing the risk of a crash, the TLX’s shift indicator will display “Park” even though the Park Lock is not engaged, which will allow the vehicle to roll away. NHTSA has not yet confirmed the recall but Acura’s notice to the agency is the first step in the formal recall process.  |

Transmission problems on a Honda/Acura V6? This is no surprise but a hidden feature.

They should just stick to traditional 5/6 speed transmission. Don't even what is the stupid point in having those 8/9 speed shit.

Hey at least they're admitting fault and fixing it I guess. Still have yet to drive one, waiting for a Type-S version to come out

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is... sure, it's unsafe and yeah it sucks for a brand-new car, don't get me wrong. But at least Acura is confessing to it and issuing a stop-sale/recall on their own volition instead of covering it up and straight up lying to their consumers like many other car companies often do.

Honda are notorious for their transmission problems.
It's AWESOME paying $3000 for a tranny repair...conveniently after when the 4 year warranty expires. SMH.

Almost every person I know who drives an Automatic, does not use the E-brake. They just put it in park and walk away.. And I laugh and tell them "the day your car rolls away, I'm laughing at you and not helping."

I had to replace a few cables in my time in the shop and they all had the same story.

I always thought everyone put their e brake on after they park in an automatic because I do it myself. Then again I don't sit in other people's cars that often..
