Some advise from you guys regarding the rough shifting
Hi All,
Happy Friday, I own a 2015 tech AWD, powertrain warranty will be expiring at the end of this year, I got this baby 2 yrs ago under 30k miles, right now it has 54k, I headed to the dealership hundreds of times because of the rough shifting, they did the 3x flush, they changed the TC, they kept my car for more than 1 month, they sent the data to techline, techline said "NO PROBLEM", and I chose to live with it.
The issue I am having now:
1) On the highway when slowing down to 5mph because of traffic, and I want to speed up as the front car is moving again, as I depressing on the gas pedal(not heavy), the car feels like doesn't want to shift, and it doesn't accelerate right the way, after 1 or 2 seconds, it bangs in the gear and starts going, this only happens when you reaccelerating from a near stop speed, I also try to accelerate by pressing the gas pedal very very lightly, by the time my speed picks up, I am already .5km away from the front car, which I will usually get honk from the car behind me.
2) When accelerating from high speed, the car doesn't downshift smoothly, if I do heavy foot, it will bang into 5th gear and power burst, if I do it very gently, speed picks up very slowly as the rpm will not change, and after 2 seconds, it bangs into 5th gear, rpm jumps to 3k from 2k, and power burst.
I never got any codes from the transmission nor the engine, therefore, every time I visited the dealer for the same problem, they sent me back with the car is fine, no issue, no codes. Should I pay a visit to the dealer for the final time as my powertrain warranty is ending this year? Or this is the way that this car behaves, I am an over maintenance guy, I changed oil twice a year, trany fluid once a yr, please let me know your opinion.

At highway speed, the VCM function is shutting off half the cylinder banks, leaving just 3 engine cylinders running to power the heavy SUV.
So, it helps to use the steering wheel pedal shifter to manually downshift a gear or two, in order to minimize the time lag before full engine power comes back on line.

So I retract my previous statement. I believe I am having the same issue. My transmission on y 2015 Advance MDX is jerky and is hesitating when accelerating. It's annoying as hell. Can the dealer preprogram the transmission to correct this? If so, how much would that cost?

There are TSBs for a different issue with the 6 speed: engine revs fluctuating while cruising at steady speed. Fix is to update software and do a triple fluid change on the trans. This TSB service has an 8/80 warranty. So if you’re under 80k miles you might consider having the dealer perform these TSBs and see if that helps the issue you are experiencing:
TSB numbers are 16-062 and 16-063
