2018 acura tlx problems. CAR 01. Avoid at all cost! Best I can sum up my TLX V6 is: Transmission is garbage, Dealers have been to trained to lie about transmission performance, Engine has a loud chirping sound similar to a diesel that my dealer can't fix even though they've replaced several parts, Back-up camera works 80% of the time, Transmission shifted into Park doesn't always mean it's in park as the car will roll forward 1-1.5 feet. I've had that happen several times which is disturbing. Last but not least is you don't want to turn left against oncoming traffic as the trans takes 3-3.5 seconds to work.
The delay can be dangerous.Some people claim the trans problems have been fixed in 2016 model but I can attest that is not accurate. I've had four 2016 loaners and 3 of them exhibited the same rough shifting and delays as my 2015. I'm actively shopping to trade my Acura lemon for either a Lexus or Audi. It'll be my first non-Acura vehicle in 14 years but I'm looking forward to moving away from a brand that does not value it's customers. Acura's low ranking in the most recent Consumer Reports auto edition was well earned.
