A/C kick (auto-tranny)
I'm noticing that when I'm stoped at a light and I have the A/C on the car nudges forward when the compressor kicks in.
It's quite annoying because if I press on the breaks enough to keep the car in place, the kick is enough to get the car rolling again. Even if I jab on the breaks big time, the car jolts a little but doesn't move forward.
I've never had an A/C do that on my car before, I'm not sure if it's an Acura thing and I should learn to live with it or I should have the dealer look at it.
I hope it's not the very popular tranny problem you guys are talking about. the car has 41k miles, however I bought it a month ago, I have no idea what was done to it prior to my purchase. (Certified-Pre owned)
Thanks,
Phil

Yes, that’s quite normal with the Auto Tranny.
I had one for 2-years and it was annoying at times.
Just have to get used to holding the brake a little bit harder.
Kind of like the reverse of driving a stick shift car and worrying about rolling BACKWARDS on a hill.
