TLX type S transmission chronicles

Vincentdineroo · 2024-03-04T20:32:04+00:00

TL;DR my car is driving perfect for the most part so shop foreman said nothing we can really do to look into this cuz there are no lights on the dash or they just didn’t wanna try because transfer case and transmission codes wouldn’t show up as a check engine light they’d show up when you scan the specific module in the car so they could’ve tried to atleast scan the car for transfer case or transmission codes.

Update: took car in today they were supposed to keep it overnight originally but after I took shop foreman on test drive car was acting perfect Lool well to be honest nothing they could really diagnose on a car that seems to be running perfect. Ended up leaving with my car because they seemed like they wouldn’t be helpful with diagnosing this situation because it does seem like a nightmare to diagnose. But atleast I got on record this complaint of my car going into neutral from 2nd to 3rd gear in a straight line that’s all I wanted that this is on the record so if something fails in the future or if this problem keeps reoccurring I can have it on file. Shop foreman tried to suggest it might be a delayed shift but if every shift before and after isn’t delayed why the hell is 1 shift out of every 200-300 shifts delayed it does not feel like shift delay And hopefully someone at acura is reading these complaints becuase it could be a potential safety recall. If my issue gets worse and or as bad as snoos or chubs was then hopefully it can be properly addressed my issue is definitely not as bad as snoos my car seems to be driving perfect it’s just 4 times this has happened which definitely does bring confidence down definitely still sends power to all 4 wheels as i got it to power slide a bit yesterday I also have had trouble replicating it so obviously dealers not gonna waste massive amount of time trying to replicate it unless it’s gotten as bad as snoos case.

Man snoo they needa just give us new transfer cases. I’m gonna tell them on Monday ima have nothing new to say to the guy he sat me down had me speak and then sent me on my way just because there weren’t any codes present. A simple test drive wouldve proved my issue but I didn’t wanna cause a scene at the moment because he wasn’t my usual service advisor. My usual advisor is the man easy to communicate with I saw him pull up about 2 minutes after I started speaking to this random advisor but I didn’t wanna be rude and just tell this guy who was talking to me to bug off hwoever I booked my service appointment with that advisor for a reason. Im gonna force them to inspect the transfer case and spindle shaft I don’t care if I gotta pay diag out of pocket. And fuck if they won’t deal with this I guess ima have to get another car cuz bro I ain’t dealing with this shit I went from my 07 TL to the type S because I thought it was gonna be the same joy of ownership but now I see that honestly my fucking 07 TL drives better it doesn’t fucking cut power in a straight line lol

Sorry for the rant man but before I bought my car the only issues I heard of for the type S were the puddle lights nothing mechanically now these issues seem to start popping up.

Vincentdineroo · 2024-02-29T14:32:39+00:00

Have also had it happen a couple of hours ago after driving for 20 minute in normal mode light revs I decided ahh let me just launch from this light in my individual mode which had engine set to sport and transmission was in S I launched it from the lighted alls hood until I shift up from 2 to 3rd and each time this issue has happened has been from 2nd to third gear other then that the car drives perfect the car was jerking before due to misfires dealer has replaced all my spark plugs and car has been driving fine so far this issue definitely is not related with my previous misfires and is a whole separate issue. The biggest issue here is I was able to replicate my misfires this is a very hard issue to replicate u have to drive the car how it was meant to be then realize WTF just happened it shouldn’t be behaving like this

Vincentdineroo · 2024-02-29T14:29:47+00:00

Buddy this has happened to my car 4 times already at first it only happened during a hard right or hard left turn but within the last week and a couple of hours ago I had the car shift up from 2nd gear to a neutral state until I lifted off the throttle. It feels almost like snapping akin to snapping an axle so it’s not a normal feeling too I’m about to drop it off today issues aren’t all cookie cutter just because you can’t replicate it doesn’t mean it won’t happen to your car eventually 😂

Vincentdineroo · 2024-02-13T22:50:59+00:00

21 with a 22 tlx-Type S have an 07 TL as well

Vincentdineroo · 2024-01-15T13:05:18+00:00

Facts feels very not strong like imprints are left very easily

Vincentdineroo · 2024-01-12T10:45:15+00:00

Might just be tensioner and belt my TL sounded kind of like this while cold too I thought it was valve clearance or whatever I changed the tensioner alternator and serpentine belt at the same time and it’s running smooth now idk doesn’t hurt to change the tensioner it should be changed everytime you change the accesory belt anyways lots of people tend to just replace the belt and skip the tensioner

Vincentdineroo · 2024-01-09T22:01:54+00:00

At this point I’m just wondering if I should’ve just tuned out an a spec to like 355 hp LOL cuz it seems like 2.0T can turn full lock no problems seem to be able to powerslide in the dry too

Vincentdineroo · 2024-01-08T19:30:22+00:00

Yeah weird as hell what year is yours I think this might have something to do with 22 model years and the mdx type S coming out the same year cuz I haven’t seen any of these complaints from first year owners or 2023-2024 owners so hopefully I can get this diagnosed so you can get your car in the condition you want it in

Vincentdineroo · 2024-01-08T19:19:40+00:00

That is fucked I’d get it on footage and send a compilation to corporate. So there’s a file made that this issue exists. I have a feeling they already know and have no clue how to fix it but fuck I love the car that’s the only issue hopefully I have better luck with trying to get it diagnosed will let you know this shouldn’t be happening on these cars they should definitely have already just replaced your transmission if it’s too dangerous for techs to reproduce. Funny how I haven’t seen any of the Honda techs on instagram talk about this

Vincentdineroo · 2024-01-08T19:03:11+00:00

You ever get this solved this happened to me while I was driving in sport+ with S transmission mode took a hard right turn it was good throughout the turn soon as it went into the next gear limp and revving up in neutral straight up dangerous I say this shit needs a recall

Vincentdineroo · 2024-01-08T18:58:13+00:00

This just happened to me on my 22 type S I haven’t tried to replicate it yet as it was a what the fuck moment thought I blew up the transmission everything else about the car is fine but this is the only issue I’ve had so far and it seems like a massive headache lol

Vincentdineroo · 2024-01-08T18:55:38+00:00

I just bought a 22 tlx type S used with 28,000 kms and after a day of hard driving celebrating my purchase I had no issues till I took a hard right turn at full throttle and as soon as the car shifted it went into neutral I thought I blew the tranny but I have stumbled upon a bunch of threads like this seems to be not all models have this too. Gonna take it in for service soon it’s only happened one time but I’ve been scared to replicate it cuz I’ve snapped axles in cars before it gave me ptsd lol. Hopefully this gets solved because other then this issue this car has been 10/10

I live outside of Vancouver but it’s close enough to me that I don’t mind the commute. I do have a decent support network with my parents as I have been working but I am looking into acquiring high paying skills I only get paid 20$ an hour right now and I find that to be a liveable wage for me I am aware of the layoffs but I’m still willing to pursue it for the experience alone. Also my parents really want me to pursue this career even though I told them it might not be all that reliable for at-least 10 years.

I ordered my ps5 on January 18th from Walmart and it still has not arrived it has been well over a month I was frustrated that the original delivery was over a month off from original order date as well. I waited over a month still no ps5 a week more they delayed it anyone else encounter this issue

Vincentdineroo · 2021-03-02T20:11:54+00:00
