2017 Acura MDX 4dr SUV

290-horsepower 3.5L I6 9-speed shiftable automatic AWD

14000 mi The 2017 MDX transmission shifts roughly (just like our 2003 MDX 198,000 2nd transmission.) During routine maintenance they did an adjustment, reports wife. Computer she thinks. Fix worked but was temporary. I am very wary of the MDX Transmission. We are snowbirds. 2017 MDX is North, we are South, so no access to records. 
16000 mi Multiple issues with the 9-speed transmission that required a few reflashings. Disconcerting surge in acceleration from a stop with a cold engine, and a profoundly rough shift between gears 4 and 5 once up to normal operating temp.
