MY 2016 ACURA ILX TRANSMISSION MAKES A "CLUNKING" SOUND WHEN 1) THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED AFTER SLOWING DOWN; WHILST SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. SEEMS AS THOUGH THE 8 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION IS REMAINING AT TOO HIGH A GEAR AT SLOWER SPEEDS. THE SOUND IS QUITE DISCONCERTING. I HAVE ESCALATED THE ISSUE TO ACURA CORPORATE OFFICE, AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL MAKE THE SAME SOUND. REALLY??? IS ACURA JUST WAITING FOR COMPLAINTS OF TRANSMISSIONS OR TORQUE CONVERTERS BLOWING UP BEFORE THEY TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION?
