2007 TSX (auto trans)shaking as if it is going to stall

Last Thursday near the end of my 40 mile commute I came to a stoplight which turned red so I slowed down gradually to stop, gently braking. Just as I was almost at a full stop the car began violently shuddering/shaking as if it was going to stall. No, I didn't forget to depress the clutch - I have an automatic, but I have owned many stick shift cars and the experience reminded me of times I was late depressing the clutch at a stop thus causing the car to shake and kill. Has anyone else experienced this? Might it be a transmission problem? It is definitely not a brake issue. This is about the 3rd time this has happened and it's very scary when it happens. Thanks for any input you can offer!

when my 06 tsx starting getting a slight rattle at 19,400 miles I told the service advisor about it. fixed on the 1st try-knock-on-wood- they made some kind of adjustment-no felt or foam tape needed.

My 2007 TSX (leased on 3/2007) has only 2100 miles on it is already squeaking too when I apply the brakes.
No lights or anything has come on to indicate issue(s).
Anyone have any insights if this is normal or if the dealer can do something about it?

I have a dumb question, and it seems like I am the only one who is having problem. I just recently LEASED, a 2008 Acura TSX with Navigation. Car is built in JAPAN 100%. However, I currently have almost 2000 Miles. Whenever I am driving with the "AC", on there seems be getting some kind of a "KNOCKING", noise coming from the engine/hood. I read the manual, and only way the noise should be coming is IF I DON'T USE PREMIUM 91 or higher Octange Gas. But, I have been using PREMIUM gas at any gas station. Any reasons or any ideas, what's going on? I will be getting the car back to the dealer to check it out, on my first oil change. In that case, 2 more questions-- I have the navigation, would that display any TRAFFIC patterns in the GPS? I thought it does, maybe I don't know how to set it up. When should I do my first OIL CHANGE? Thanks everyone...

if it were a gas problem the knocking would occur when the a/c is off or on. the tsx does not have traffic patterns in their nav. there is an oil life indicator. i usually wait until it gets to at least 10% but with my driving it is more like 5% or less. i have an 06 6spd/ w nav, bought new 11.17.06 with almost 24,000 miles. love it.

NJ2pa2nc: Thanks for the feeback. The last time I was getting the knocking noise was this past Sat& Sun. I went to the Dealer, and with prompt response a Tech drove the car with me today, and no noise came, with/without the AC. Tech stated, no visible failure to anything, car runs NORMAL. But, I know for sure, that I will get that noise, which I HOPE NOT TOO.. Anyway's, let see what happens....
Thanks.. I'll get the Oil Change when it reaches around 10% or somewhre..Thanks...It sucks that Navigation doesn't have the traffic updates...Thanks..

most navigations systems that have real-time traffic also charge a monthly fee for that service. just like xm and sirius radio. my sister-in-law has it in her lexus. she got the service free for a year and then had to pay for it-which she does- says it is worth it.

NJ2PA2NC: I was playing around with the navigation today, and on the main screen there is an option for the "icons", when I selected that, there was an option for "traffic", I selected that, and Now i get notifications for traffic patterns. That's cool..Thanks...Btw, the Accords are here...Anyone thinking to get a Accord? LOL Built in OHIO..

my mom owns a 1998 honda accord ex-v6 with 71,200 miles. i can not believe how much that car has cost her in maintenance-must be those very short trips. front and rear brakes twice, timing belt, power door locks, two batteries, two radios, starter, power seats and other things. when we were getting my acura service we looked at two 08 honda's that just arrived. she is now debating whether or not to get one. seemed to love the looks. i think she should go for the basic model as the only time the sunroof gets used is when i am driving it and i have put probably at least 7,000 miles on it.

Intersting, and surprising. However, I have never heard or seen any problamatic on any of the Accord's, thus so far. I believe that they're built very well, and are the best in the line of "Honda's". In addition, I like the Accord better then the Civic, even though people claim that CIVIS is the best! Good luck with the new Accord. I would wait for couple of months before going for the "new", Accord. Good Luck! Go for the EX model, or the Special Edition.
