VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
DOOR CABLE REGULATOR BROKE. DUE TO THE BROKEN CABLE, THE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOORS. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. *AK ACURA WAS NOT INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM MAY RECUR IN ANY OF THE WINDOWS AND IT WAS UNSAFE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE RAIN, SHOPPING CENTER, ETC., DUE TO THE FACT THE THEY COULD OPEN BY THEMSELVES. *SCC *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY AND IS ABOUT TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST TRANNY WAS REPLACED THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE LEVEL OF MY CAR DROPPED GREATLY. THE 2001 ACURA CL TYPE S I AM DRIVING NOW IS NOT THE CAR THAT I BOUGHT, NOR WANT TO DRIVE. IT IS NOW SLUGGISH, THE TRANSMISSION IS STIL ACTING UP, IT IS LOUDER, DOES NOT HOLD ITSELF IN A GEAR FOR MORE SPORTY DRIVE. IF I WANTED A HONDA ACCORD, I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE. NOW MY CAR DRIVES JUST LIKE ONE. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO FORWARD MOMENTUM FROM THE CAR. STEPPED ON THE GAS AND NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF TO AN EXIT AND PARK IN A FAIRLY SECURE SPOT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST ACURA DEALER. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED FOR MY CAR AND IT WOULD BE ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE I WOULD GET MY CAR BACK. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM AN OWNER OF 2001 ACURA CL TYPE S. VIN NUMBER [XXX], ODOMETER 26,000 MILES. I HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE TODAY. AT FIRST CAR SUDDENLY CHANGED THE GEAR FROM 5TH TO POSSIBLY 1ST AT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY A FEW TIMES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, I WAS LUCKY THERE WERE NO CLOSE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THEN AT THE END OF 15 MILE TRIP FROM HOME CLUTCH STARTED TO SLIP AND I COULD NOT EVEN MOVE FROM THE STOP. I HAD HARD TIME GETTING CAR HOME, IT SHIFTED ERRATICALLY AND STAYED IN FIRST GEAR. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT TRANSMISSION IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE AND CAN FAIL, THIS PARTICULAR BEHAVIOR OF SUDDEN DOWN SHIFT AT THE HIGH SPEEDS ARE NOT SAFE AND CAN CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENT. *LA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I WAS DRIVING A LONG LAST WEEK IN MY 1997 ACURA 2.2CL THAT I JUST PURCHASED LAST AUGUST 2002, WITH ONLY 27,000 MILES ON IT NOW WITH 47,000 MILES AND I WENT TO PUT DOWN MY DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC WINDOW AND THE WINDOW JUST FELL INTO THE DOOR. THIS SHOULD NO WAY HAPPEN TO A CAR THAT HAS ONLY 47,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTOBODY SHOP AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW "RUNNER" AND NEW CABLES IN THE DOOR. APPROXIMATELY A 200-250$ JOB WHICH I SHOULDN'T BE PAYING FOR WHEN MY CAR IS AT SUCH YOUNG MILEAGE. I COULD SEE IF I HAD TO REPLACE A BELT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH THE ENGINE, NO PROBLEM, BUT A WINDOW, NO WAY!*AK
