Another day, but today, not a recall.

Japanese automaker Acura has halted sales of its 2015 TLX V-6 sedan after discovering that some models may roll away when stopped, even if they are in the "park" position. The TLX V-6 is the first Acura model to offer a 9-speed automatic, as opposed to the less-powerful TLX with a four-cylinder engine and an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

While not a recall, the news comes after several hard months for the company, which has experienced turmoil over its relationship with airbag manufacturer Takata. The transmission, which is produced by ZF, is also found in vehicles spanning from the Chrysler 200 to the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, but no issues have been reported on those models.

Here's hoping that all that's rolling for Acura in 2015 are good times.
