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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND MY 2001 ACURA CL TYPE S DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO SLOW ABRUPTLY AND SWERVE. THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME (NOT OT MENTION THE PAIN OF THE SEATBELT CUTTING INTO MY NECK). GOOD THING THE SEATBELT DID WOULD OR I COULD HAVE SUSTAINED INJURIES SLAMMING INTO THE STEARING WHEEL OR WINDSHIELD. THE ACURA IS ON IT'S SECOND TRANSMISSION WITH ONLY 41,000 MILES ON IT, THIS NEXT ONE WILL BE THE 3RD. I WAS TOLD THAT ACURA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT NONE OF THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS ARE "NEW". THEY ARE ALL "REMANUFACTURED" WITH A 36,00 MILE OR 3 YR WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS NOT BEING FIXED. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO HAVE ON THE ROAD. WHY DOESN'T ACURA FIX THE PROBLEM. PERHAPS A LAWSUIT WOULD INSPIRE THEM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HOPEFULLY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.*AK
