I bought a new 2016 MDX AWD 6 months ago. The new transmission on the new MDX is very clunky and is *not safe*. When I am coasting and hit brakes smoothly to come to halt at traffic light, the SUV jumps or leaps forward as if to accelerate. This gets very scary especially when there is a car ahead of you as you might momentarily hit the car ahead. Same behvior when am pulling into garage.

Due to the clunky shifting of their new transmission, I have started experiencing pain in my neck now and feel very nervous while slow stopping. The brakes on the other hand are also very soft.

I have owned other cars in the past (Nissan, VW, Audi, Infiniti) and none of them had this behavior.

When I approached the dealer, they said its all normal.

Its very disappointing build from makers like Acura. Its nowhere close to perfection (that they advertise as). I hope to warn other buyer of this kind of behavior.
