Local Mechanics Have Acura Repair Experience
The Acura TLX has been a popular choice for people looking for a luxury four door sedan for many years. This car is regarded as generally reliable, offers a comfortable experience, and has many features which contribute to a stylish and luxurious feel. While the TLX scores better from a reliability standpoint than some of its competitors, like any vehicle it does have issues from time to time.
As a leading provider of auto repair and service in the San Jose area, our team has years of experience working on all makes, models, years, and trim levels of vehicles. This experience includes working with luxury vehicles and foreign cars, and over the years we have worked on many Acuras.
A fairly common problem with various year models and trim levels of the TLX is a slipping transmission. A slipping transmission can present itself in a few different ways, including a delayed response when accelerating, a sudden spike in RPMs due to the car suddenly shifting into neutral, or the vehicle struggling to stay in gear at all.
Transmission Slipping Causes
A slipping transmission is most commonly caused by a simple lack of transmission fluid. Without proper lubrication, the transmission can’t function properly and is likely to slip out of gear. While it’s easy to add transmission fluid, finding the source of the leak isn’t always as simple. If the transmission fluid is at the proper level, it’s possible there is a computer or sensor issue causing the transmission to slip. Beyond these electrical issues, actual hardware can either fail or be on its way to failing if the transmission is slipping.
Expert Diagnosis Available
While there are some car issues which can be tackled by DIYers, transmission problems are generally more complex. Our team has been working with Acura transmissions for years, and we have the right skill set, equipment, and approach to diagnose any issue quickly. When we see a TRX with a transmission issue, it’s our goal to find the root cause and perform a lasting repair. To do this, we check all physical components of the vehicle as well as the computer system, which allows us to locate any issues and create a repair plan.
Lasting Repair Service
Once we have a plan in place to correct the transmission issue, we focus on performing the repair with longevity as a goal. When we have a diagnosis, we don’t start a repair until the customer knows the issue, our plan to correct it, and what to expect from a cost and timeline standpoint. While some shops might see a low transmission fluid level and just fill it back up, we don’t want to put a band-aid on a serious issue. Our team takes the time and puts in the effort to correct issues for the long haul.
