POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2000 ACURA 3.2 TL OUT OF NOWHERE STARTED SLIPPING AND SHIFTING GEARS WHILE I WAS DRIVINGONE DAY. WHILE I AM DRIVING MY CAR THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN OR JERK AN SLIP AFTER FREQUENT STOP AND GO'S. AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN OVER A MILLION ACURA'S, AND AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BUT TO ME IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT ACURA SHOULD BE REQUIRED AND OBLIGATED TO FIX. WHILE DRIVING ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME, I THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHO IS TO SAY WHETHER OR NOT I WOULD BE HERE RITE NOW. *TR

HELLO MR. OR MRS., I BROUGHT 1999 ACURA 3.2 TL IN 2005 (ABOUT 38,000 MILES) FROM 78 YEARS OLD MAN. HE TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF IT SO DO I. MY CAR NOW IT HAD ABOUT 65,350 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEMS IS THAT EARLY THIS MONTH (AUGUST) I TOOK MY CAR FOR A RIDE THEN SUDDENLY THE "ENGINE STOP" ON BUSY STREET FORD ROAD, CANTON, MI 48187 AFTER 4:35 P.M. (RUSH HOUR/ TRAFFIC). I'M SO NERVOUS, SHOCKED.... AND LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. YES, 2 POLICE CARS CAME AND HELPED ME PUSH OFF THE ROAD BEFORE THE "TOW TRUCK" CAME TOW MY CAR HOME. LAST WEEK MY FRIEND AND I WHEN FOR A RIDE AFTER WE TUNE UP MY 1999 ACURA. THE ENGINE STOPPED AGAIN. THE BATTERY IS ALMOST BRAND NEW, SPARK PLUG IS NEW, EVERY THING IS GOOD EXCEPT IT GOT TO BE "IGNITION SWITCH". THIS WEEK I DID A RESEARCH ON "INTERNET", I DID FIND OUT "RECALL" IGNITION SWITCH FOR 1999 ACURA 3.2 TL BUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER GET IT FIXED IN 2002. I DID CALLED ACURA 1-800-382-2238 MENTION ABOUT RECALL "IGNITION SWITCH". I ASKED HER IF I TAKING MY 1999 ACURA DEALER TO GET IT FIX (IGNITION SWITCH), CAN I GET "REIMBURSEMENT" OR MONEY BACK, SHE TOLD ME KNOW BECAUSE IT'S DUE TO WORE AND TEAR DURING 4 OR 7 YEARS PERIOD. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME ABOUT MY SITUATIONS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT ANY ONE GET HURT (ACCIDENT) ON THE ROAD. I DID CALLED ACURA DEALER AT FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, I SPOKE TO SERVICES TECHNICIAN ABOUT "IGNITION SWITCH", HE TOLD ME THAT IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST $289.00 OR MAYBE $600.00 DEPEND PROBLEM WITH "IGNITION SWITCH OR IGNITION INTERLOCK". HOPEFULLY, I DO NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE HAVE A 2003 ACURA 3.2 TL PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2002. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR OUR MODEL AND OUR CAR WAS BROUGHT IN TO OUR DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED IN JANUARY OF 2005. THE DEALER STATED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS UPDATED (AN OIL JET KIT WAS INSTALLED) AND WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL AUGUST 2009. THERE WAS A SUDDEN JERK WHILE DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND IT STARTED DRIVING AGAIN A COUPLE HOURS LATER. WE BROUGHT IT IN TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE ENDED UP PAYING ALMOST $4000.00 TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. ACCORDING TO HTTP://WWW.HONDATRANSMISSIONSETTLEMENT.COM THERE HAS ADMITTEDLY BEEN A PROBLEM WITH HONDA/ACURA TRANSMISSIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VIN OF MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LAWSUIT, NOR DOES THE WARRANTY COVER OUR REPAIRS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED WHEN IT OBVIOUSLY HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF ACURA OWNERS. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING THE DEALER AS WELL AS ACURA AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE PAYING FOR ACURA'S TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW.

VISIBILITY
THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT CREATED AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE GUNMETAL TRIM INSERTED INTO THE LEFT AND RIGHT LOWER SIDES OF THE DASH CREATE A BLINDING GLARE IN THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS ON SUNNY DAYS. THE GLARE IS SO BAD, IT COVERS NEARLY ALL OF THE SURFACE OF THE LEFT HAND MIRROR, SO WHEN CHANGING LANES FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, THE DRIVER WILL MISS SEEING A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. IT IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED FOR A CAR THAT MAY BE IN THE BLIND SPOT. SAME IS TRUE, BUT NOT AS BAD, AS THE RIGHT LANE. I HAD TO COVER UP THE TRIM BY COVERING IT WITH A BLACK CLOTH TAPED TO THE GUNMETAL TRIM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON THURSDAY 7/23/09 AS I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY ROAD AND WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD COLLISION WHEN MY TRANSMISSION QUIT WORKING. IT LURCHED ME FORWARD INTO MOVING TRAFFIC HOWEVER WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO GET ME MOVING. LUCKILY, THE ONCOMING SEMI TRUCK WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON IT'S BRAKES AND TURN TO AVOID A COLLISION. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED IF THE DRIVER HAD NOT BEEN ALERT AND PAYING ATTENTION. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION (NHTSA #04V176000) WHICH ACCORDING TO HONDA WAS ALREADY DONE ON MY CAR HOWEVER IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY. IT MAY NOT LOCK UP AS STATED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL HOWEVER A COMPLETE FAILURE TO MOVE IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CHECKING AROUND ONLINE, MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE MAKING THIS SAME COMPLAINT ON MY YEAR AND MODEL. ACURA NEEDS TO COMPLETELY RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS OR PEOPLE MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL IN 2004 WHICH REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR IS A 1999 ACURA 3.2TL. I CALLED HONDA RECENTLY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS A ONE-TIME FIX ONLY. MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THE SWITCH WAS IN FACT REPLACED AND IF IT WAS REPLACED WHY IS IT FAILING? CONVERSATIONS WITH AUTO MECHANICS INDICATE THE SWITCH SHOULD NEVER FAIL IF THE DESIGN IS SOUND. SINCE JUNE 22, 2009, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED A NUMBER OF TIMES. I ONLY RECENTLY DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 ACURA 3.2 TL - THERE WAS AN IGNITION INTERLOCK SAFETY RECALL AND IT WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER 07/17/06 - THE TOTAL FEE WAS $50.15 AND COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY, FOR A HALF HOUR REPAIR AND PART FOR FOR $1.15. SINCE THEN, WE HAD NOTED INSTANCES OF THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING, SOMEITMES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER REFUSED TO COVER UNDER THE PRE-EXISTING CONDITION / RECALL - THEY DID REPORT THAT THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD. I NOTED OTHERS REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS MODEL. NOW THE CHARGE WAS $303.84 I HAVE A RELATIVE WITH THE SAME CAR AND YEAR AND HE HAD THE SAME ISSUE TOO. THIS IS RELATED TO THE INITIAL RECALL AND SHOULD BE COVERED - IT ALSO COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS STALLING OUT AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE AUTOMOBILE WILL RANDOMLY LOOSE ALL ELECTRICITY, IGNITION, AND POWER ITEMS - BRAKES - STEERING - AND ENGINE STALLS OUT COMPLETELY, AFTER A FEW SECONDS TO A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR CAN BE RE-STARTED AND DRIVEN AGAIN. SYMPTOMS POINT TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON THIS CAR A FEW YEARS AGO. ACURA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A TSB / SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY ONLY REPLACE THE PART ONCE WITH THE EXACT SAME PART THAT WILL FAIL EVENTUALLY JUST AS THE FIRST ONE DID. LOCAL DEALER ( FIRST ACURA OF SEEKONK, MA.) AND THE REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CLAIMING THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS TO RESOLVE THIS SERIOUS KNOWN DEFECT IN ACURAS DESIGN OF THIS COMPONENT. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO OTHER THAN KNUCKLING DOWN AND PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF MY POCKET? *TR

TIRES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT A SET OF DUNLOP 235/45R17 SP SPORT SIGNATURE TIRES IN FEBRAURY, 2008 -- AND REPLACED ONE OF THEM IN SEPTEMBER 2008 DUE TO UNRELATED ISSUE. IN EARLY JULY, 2009, ONLY ABOUT 17 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT AFTER I MADE MY INTIAL PURCHASE, AND LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THE REPLACEMENT 4TH TIRE, THE SIDEWALL BEGAN TO DETERIORATE (ON THE NEWER 4TH TIRE) AND THE TREAD BEGAN SEPERATING FROM ONE OF THE OTHER 3 TIRES. HAD MY MECHANIC (DOING A BRAKE JOB) NOT NOTICED THE DEFECT, I COULD'VE EASILY HAD A BLOW-OUT AND SERIOUS INJURY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE TIRE STORE WHEN I BOUGHT ALL 5 TIRES. THEY INSPECTED THE TIRES AND FOUND THAT ALL 4 WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY CALLED GOODYEAR/DUNLOP (I SPOKE WITH MARY IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT.) GOODYEAR/DUNLOP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT ALL 4 REMAINING TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND INITIALLY DEMANDED $200 TO REPLACE ALL 4 OF THE DEFECTIVE DUNLOP TIRES (WHICH I ORIGINALY PAID $1,000 FOR). EVENTIALLY I AGREED TO PAY $120.51, BUT I STILL THINK I GOT SCREWED. MEANWHILE, THERE'S NO RECALL NOTICE, BUT CLEARLY THESE ARE DEFECTIVE TIRES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE IN A 2003 ACURA 3.2TL, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER DUE TO COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION (AUTOMATIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT 65 MPH. ENGINE RPM BEGAN TO CLIMB. CRUISE CONTROL WAS SECURED. WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES ALL CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOST WITH A CORRESPONDING TOTAL LOSS OF POWER (ENGINE WAS STILL OPERATING, BUT NO FORWARD OR REVERSE GEARS/POWER TO THE WHEELS). WITH FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE CAR, AND NO POWER, THE CAR WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE TURNPIKE. ACURA DEALER SAID THAT CODES ON VEHICLE INDICATED TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE, NO CAUSE PROVIDED. I VIEW THIS FAILURE AS A DEFECT, RELATED TO PRIOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOUND ON 1999-2003 ACURA 3.2 TLS THAT RESULTED IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT, WITH CORRESPONDING EXTENSION OF WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSIONS, BUT THE VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE GROUP COVERED BY THE SUIT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. *TR

HI, I WOULD LIKE TO OFFICIALLY FILE A COMPLAIN AGAINST ACURA. I HAVE 1999 ACURA 3.2TL, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR EVEN ON IDLE. IT'S A INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND I NOTICED THAT IT CAN HAPPY ANYWHERE OR ANYTIME WHICH CAN RESULT IN FATAL ACCIDENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON WEB AND FOUND OUT THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM IN ACURA AND HONDA AND POINT TO RECALL FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER DAVID MCDAVID OF AUSTIN IS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED IN MY CAR. THEY'RE CLUELESS WHY I'M HAVING THIS ISSUE AND OFFER NO HELP TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE ISSUE. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN FOR NO COST TO ME BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO IT. I NEED HELP FOR NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE I NEED TO DO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH ACURA. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND TIME YESTERDAY EVENING, WHILE I WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I SEE A SMOKE CAME OUT FROM DASH BOARD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR TO RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER FEW TRIES. *TR

I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO GET IT LOOK AT AND THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDS TO REPLACE. ALSO ONE THING IS THAT I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALLS NOTICE.
