After having my V6 Tech for 6 months and 3600 miles, I arranged to have the dealer (a) update the software for the navigation and cross traffic monitor systems; (b) fix the low tire pressure warning lights, which came on when the weather got cold and stayed on even when it warmed up a bit; (c) inspect the transmission in connection with the Park issue; and (d) see if they can do anything about the harsh 2-3 shift.


Interestingly, the V6 Tech loaner they gave me shifts just fine. I suspect it's because it's new (only 225 miles on it).


The dealer is supposed to call me on Monday to report on the transmission shifting issue. I hope something works.

 

They applied a TCM software update to mine which fixed it. I suspect cars from the factory have been coming out with that TCM software version for a while now.

 

I have a V6 Tech loaner and it's still got the hard shifts at the beginning of acceleration. The car had less than 2000 miles on it when I picked it up and it's VIN is in the 7000's. I have no idea if the software updates were applied to it or not.

 

My TLX V6 shifts "hard" and has 260 miles... delivered Tuesday. Not happy at all with the issue and the apparent chronic nature, given all the posts I'm reading.

 

How long was it sitting on the lot? Probably needs the software update. There is a thread on it.
