Consumer Description
I HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 3/23/16 AND FROM DAY ONE I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND WAIT FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO GIVE ME CHANCE TO CROSS THE STREET. WHEN I FINALLY GET THE CHANCE TO CROSS I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR JUST DOES NOT WANT TO GO, IT STALLS. SAME ISSUE WHEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO GET IN BUT THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO. IT IS AN SAFETY ISSUE FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR WILL RESPOND AND IF IT DOES NOT I CAN CAUSE OTHER VEHICLES TO CRASH INTO MINE. ANOTHER ISSUE JUST CAME OUT YESTERDAY I JUST GOT HOME AND WAS PARKING THE CAR ON MY PARKING LOT WHICH IS FLAT. WHILE PARKING AND SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD AT ALL AND A LIGHT CAME OUT SHIFT TO PARK SO I DID AND THEN WHEN I SHIFTED TO REVERSE THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. I HAVE THAT SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME WOULD DO THE SAME DID NOT GO FORWARD AT ALL AND REVERSE RAPIDLY. I HAVE RECORDED THE WHOLE ISSUE ON MY PHONE AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL STAY WITH MY NEW CAR FOR ABOUT ONE WEEK. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUE BEFORE ANYONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. DEFINITELY DID NOT EXPECT THAT FROM A $54,000 LUXURY SUV. I HAD TRADED MY 2009 ACURA MDX FOR THIS HUGE PROBLEM, WHAT A MISTAKE.
