2016 Acura TLX may be most reliable sport sedan in U.S.

Parks, I think you let that phone call from Acura's PR last week cloud your objectivity about the transmission. :-) I have an 8-speed 2015 TLX - the first year ever (hopefully most cars don't have two recalls every year) that has had issues from Day 1, and continue even after a service bulletin was supposed to fix it. After many visits, Acura doesn't seem to have clue on how to fix it.

Call me crazy, but I expect that when I step on the gas, the car will move forward, and the transmission won't just spin in place. And when I'm sitting at a stop sign, the car won't suddenly shift on its own and jump forward.

Simple requests, but ones that the TLX can't meet on a reliable basis, sorry.

Agree, the dealer loaners that I've driven didn't have the issue at all, but some cars definitely do. Can't wait to see your updates!

Seem you haven't done enough research into the issues with the TLX. I traded my 2009 TL SH-AWD for the TLX SH-AWD Tech, and apart from the new tech this car is a huge disappointment. Myself and many others if you check the AcuraZine forum have a serious issue with vibrations through the entire car. My TLX has so far spent a combined total of 9 weeks in the dealers garage and no body can figure out what the problem is. I finally got to talk to someone at Acura National and they admitted there is an issue with some of the TLX's but their engineers have yet to come up with a solution to the problem. That is little comfort after you have paid a premium price for a premium car. Some owners of the owners I have talked to have become so frustrated they have already traded their TLX's in on other brands and taken a sizable financial loss. Personally as a long time happy Acura customer who has purchased 10 cars over the years and I am extremely disappointed. I have told them that if my TLX is not fixed or replaced they will lose me as a customer, and that was 3 months ago and I have not been given any options, so I guess they don't really care.

I was hoping to have the experience you describe, however; mine is not as happy. Bought a 2015 V6 loaner with 4600 miles. Within a few days I noticed a vibration between 1400-1600 RPM; felt like a rumble strip. Took to the dealer and they said it was the VCM system. When the car drops back to 3 cylinders for optimal gas mileage, it has a horrible vibration. There is no fix, and for someone who drives a lot of miles it is terribly annoying when I thought was buying a luxury car. Acura Customer Service basically blew me off saying this is how the car is designed to operate, to which I asked them how many they would sell if they put a sticker on the car that it vibrates at 1500 Rpms. Got no response or order to help. Fortunately the dealer I purchased from stepped up to the plate and are working with me to get into a 2016. I am test driving it next week and if it doesn't have the same issue I will probably upgrade.

Whats with all the negative comments? I have a 2015 V6 SHAWD Tech and have not had any issues! I love it!!! I remember there was a software upgrade that I had to bring my car in for, but other that that my car has only been in for routine maintenance (oil changes).

I purchased a brand new 2016 Acura TLX 2.4 Tech a month ago and last week the transmission BROKE completely. The dealership told me that they will have to replace it.

I have a 2015 ACURA TLX V-6 with the 9-speed transmission. I have been very dissatisfied with the vehicle. When delivered the car spark knocked for the first 100 miles on the gas in the car. The transmission lugs in the lower gears, and on a few occasions the engine has revved-up while accelerating with no additional vehicle speed, like the transmission was slipping. The does run a little better after a 5000 mile break-in. The console gear selector is very awkward to use. The navigation package is awkward to use and set. The car looks good, and the roadway fuel mileage is very good, but the performance of the engine and transmission is undesirable. Have been disappointed with the attitude of ACURA representatives at the dealership. Some of the service staff have acknowledged problems with the vehicle and also stated their disappointment with the vehicle. Plan to get rid of the vehicle soon.

My wife likes the way the car looks.

Why is no one talking about the backup camera? The resolution is abysmal. My grass and bushes look brown and the fidelity is very poor. I was loaned a TLX i4 tech package and loved the drive and my kids like the back seats and the whole car. It is sexy in some ways and very comfortable even with the greatly enlarged hump in the back. But ultimately I found that I could not live with a car that didn't have a decent backup camera. I asked the dealer what they might do about it and after checking with their technical department they said nothing could be done, this is how it functioned similar to the MDX. I called around for an after market camera and someone quoted me $1,600 for a system (or less if I was willing to mount it on the dash?!) but would not guarantee the fidelity if installed directly into the Acura screen. I was ready to buy the car but thought better of it and will wait until they come out with a model that has a camera that is on the same level as the rest of the car. Truly a shame that Acura and the public has ignored this issue.

I as well purchased a 2015 TLX with the V6 and the 9 speed transmission. After several trips to the dealership to try and address various transmission woes, I eventually sold the car privately, and purchased a Lexus IS350 F Sport. I should have bought the lexus in the first place. I had previously driven a 2003 Acura TL that ate it's way through two transmissions, but believed that Acura had addressed it's auto trans issues. Believe me....they haven't.

I got 20K miles on my TLX and never had ANY major problems. The transmission is fine an the only this that has been annoying me is the Brake light ocassionally flashing when nothing is in front of me and recently a message about forward collision malfunctioning.

Why is no one talking about the backup camera? The resolution is abysmal. My grass and bushes look brown and the fidelity is very poor. I wrote an earlier piece about this and thought maybe this was an unresolved issue for the 2015s. Well I tried a 2016 and realized that the color fidelity was still very poor. Worse, when I parked the TLX at my public garage I couldn’t tell just how close I was to the wall or that it was when a wall. When I go home around 5:30 and backed up my driveway the color was all gray and terrible visibility. I returned the car which I like otherwise, and spoke with the sales manager to see if the 2017 had resolve this issue but he said that this was the same backup camera on all TLXs but the MDX had a more updated version.
I really like the looks and enjoy the responsiveness of the paddle shifters but would be feel like a total fool buying a “premium” (or luxury) car with this type of defect. I matched it up against a 2015 BMW 328i Xdrive and would have bought the 2016 TLX if not for the camera. Does Acura and no one else care?

Have been very disappointed with the transmission of the 2015 ACURA TLX V-6 with 9-speed transmission. Shifts rough and erratic in first three gears, runs very good 5th through 9th. Transmission shift points need to be re-programmed. Engine makes a lot of noise in first three gears, have to accelerate slowly. Engine runs rough and bucks on cold morning for first 30 seconds after putting in drive. Gets good fuel mileage on the highway. Cannot believe ACURA has not replaced the 9-speed transmission in the TLX yet, there are bad write ups all over the internet about the poor performance.

I own a 2016TLX SH-AWD. Yesterday while driving on the highway I tried to accelerate in order to change lanes and the car did not respond. Normally you would expect the transmission to shift to a lower gear but nothing happened. Instead just about every warning on the dash light lit up and the RPMs went to 4000. Fortunately I was able to exit off the highway and limped my way to a parking lot. I shut the car off and sat there for about 10 minutes after which I restarted the car and one by one the warning lights turned off. After that I was able to drive the car home and everything appeared normal. Has this ever happened to anyone? Any ideas what could have caused this? I'm afraid to drive this so called luxury car on the highway
