Acura RL 2009 need help I don’t know what to do

My Acura RL starts well, on low speeds I can hear some scratching noise it shifts well and suddenly isn’t able to change speeds anymore that’s comes with a little kick. After that D starts flashing sh-awd message pop up it says also check you transmission system and AFS will flash too . If I turn off the car and drive later it might be back to normal or still be fcked 50%
what should I do guys ?

Had a similar occurrence in my '07 when I first had it. Limped into the dealership and they had it fixed in less than an hour......no charge (under warranty?) Something about hitting a bump just as a shift happened.....at least that was their story. Could also be a funky battery.

Good luck

Not sure if you noticed if the"D" would flash, but if it won't shift gears, I suspect one of the gear sensor/switch is going bad because I had the same lights come up...
1. Check the battery and both connections to eliminate that as an issue
2. Transmission relay check at the dealer - they should be able to troubleshoot and give you run down of what they find... then decide where to fix it.

I'd wager that stall speed alert christmas tree is due to a shonky battery.

Does the car handle like a FWD pig when it happens?

I put mine on a battery conditioner and not had it since. Thing is, it's happened after a long run when the battery ought to be fully charged, so it's likely some sort of electrical spike.

You need to change your 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear pressure switches. I think that is the problem.

That was my problem, and it also shot out multiple problem messages like this. But, important, in the Messages section of the big central screen, it also gave a specific trouble code that pointed directly to the 2nd gear pressure switch (the one that fails most often). See if you have a little icon in the corner of your big screen that looks like an envelope. That tells you there's a trouble code waiting for you to read it.
