Consumer Description

I RECENTLY BOUGH THE CAR AND I AM NOW REGRETTING IT BECAUSE THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS VERY SLUGGISH AND DOESN'T PROVIDE POWER WHEN NEEDED. IN THE MORNING WHEN I START THE CAR THE CAR JUST LAGS THE POWER UNTIL I PRESS HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL. WE TOOK THIS ON A ROAD TRIP TO CALIFORNIA FROM UTAH AND AT TIMES I FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE AMPLE POWER TO PASS OTHER DRIVERS AND IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO THINK BEFORE IT DOES ANYTHING. I HAVE AN APPT SCHEDULED WITH ACURA TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS OTHERWISE I AM TAKING THIS SUV BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH ACURA FOR MAKING THIS KIND OF A TRANSMISSION AND I WISH I HAVE KEPT MY BMW.
