POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF AN ACURA TL 2001. AT 40K MILES AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED JERKING, I WENT FROM 40 MPH TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP IN SECONDS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED AS IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR NOW HAS 108K MILES. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THE HAVE INFORMED US THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AGAIN. MY FIRST CONCERN IN ALL THIS IS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED YESTERDAY. HE WAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN WHICH THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 MPH WE FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE CAR BEHIND HIM WAS FAR AWAY ENOUGH THAT IT DID NOT RUN INTO HIM. LOOKING BACK I WAS VERY LUCKY WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME. THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT THE DEALER SAYS THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION IS ONLY GOOD TO 109K MILES NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR TRANSMISSIONS THREE TIMES. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THEM WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSION WHICH CONTINUES TO BE A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. I FEEL THAT ACURA IS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE WERE RETURNING ON 10/02/06 FROM A 1,000 MILE ROAD TRIP TO PA, ON THE WAY HOME (AT NIGHT, IN THE POURING RAIN, WITH A TODDLER) WE LOST OUR TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED FROM 2000 RPM-5000 RPM AND BACK A FEW TIMES. BY THE TIME I COULD GET SAFELY PULLED OVER, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO MOVE SAFELY OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS REVVING AT 5000 RPM AND MOVING A 2 MPH. I OBVIOUSLY DID NOT WANT TO DO MORE DAMAGE, SO WE SAT ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OFF RAMP UNTIL ASSISTANCE ARRIVED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY TO TELL US THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE AND THEY HAVE SUCH A HIGH FAILURE RATE THAT THEY GO FOR $2000 EVEN AT SALVAGE YARDS. THEY QUOTED US $3650 FOR A REBUILT, WITH A NEW COMPUTER (ACURA REQUIRED!!!) AND LABOR. THE KICKER IS, WE HAD ONLY BEEN OVER OUR WARRANTY MILEAGE BY 3K. WE WERE ALSO GIVEN NO WARNING (NEITHER WARNING LIGHT NOR DRIVING) THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT HONDA/ACURA CAN HAVE THE #2 MOST RELIABLE VEHICLE REPUTATION. AFTER SIMPLY SEARCHING FOR "2001 ACURA TL TRANSMISSIONS" THERE WERE PAGES UPON PAGES THAT HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED AS EARLY AS 25K AND SOME HAVE EVEN HAD TWO TO FOUR REPLACEMENTS. HOW IS THIS THE #2 MOST RELIABLE CARE COMPANY? I DO NOT THINK A TRANSMISSION SHOULD GO AT 100K, IF MAINTAINED PROPERLY, THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT. I AM DISGUSTED THAT WE JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE LAST YEAR AND STILL OWE 2 AND A HALF MORE YEARS ON IT!! EVEN WORSE, SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF ANY RECALL BY ACURA AND WERE NOT ABLE TO BRING IT TO ACURA (FOR FREE) TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS OK. HAD WE BEEN MADE AWARE WHEN WE TOOK POSSESSION (I AM SURE ACURA HAS RECORDS OF NEW OWNERS AS WE JUST GOT A RECALL ON OUR USED 2002 CHEVY), WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE RENTING A CAR SINCE WE BOTH WORK FULL TIME JOBS, ON TOP OF A $3650 REPAIR. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HONDA CLAIMS TO HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION FOR BUILDING STABLE VEHICLES. I BOUGHT MY ACURA BRAND NEW IN 2001 AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED ONLY 100,000 MILES LATER. THAT IS WORSE THAN A OLD FORD ESCORT. HONDA HAS BEEN ATTEMPTING TO DECEIVE CONSUMERS BY CLAIMING THEY WILL ADDRESS A TRANSMISSION DEFECT THEY IDENTIFIED SINCE IN 2004. I HAVE SEEN DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS INDICATING THAT THEY ARE NOT HONORING THEIR COMMITMENT TO CONSUMERS. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS NEEDED TO PREVENT THIS COMPANY FROM ABUSING THEIR CUSTOMERS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOOSE THEIR LIFE IF HONDA DOES NOT FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATION. THEY ARE GIVING CONSUMERS THE RUN AROUND BY CLAIMING THAT THE INSPECTION WAS ALLEGEDLY COMPLETED AND NO BREAKAGE IN THE GEARS WERE DETECTED SO THAT THE COST OF REPLACING TRANSMISSIONS WILL NOT BE INCURRED BY THEM. THE ACURA TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOW BEGINNING TO FAIL AT A RAPID PACE AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER BEFORE PEOPLE STARTS LOSING THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF THIS COMPANY'S NEGLIGENCE. WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IS ATTEMPTING TO STALL THE PROCESS BY PASSING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AS OPERABLE THEN WAITING UNTIL THE WARRANTY EXPIRES TO TRAP THE CONSUMER WITH THE COSTS OF REPAIRS. THIS IS UNSCRUPULOUS AND UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR. IF MY CAR ISN'T REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY I AM GOING TO INVITE MEDIA ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER AS I HAVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WRONG DOING. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
AFTER REAR-END COLLISION (MY FAULT ON SLICK PAVEMENT, GOING EST. 15 MPH WHERE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND CAR SKIDDED FOR AT LEAST 15-20 FEET) THE FRONT END OF MY CAR SIMPLY HAD A DENTED FRONT END AND GRILL AND LEFT (DRIVER'S SIDE) HEADLIGHT. A FEW MINUTES LATER A SMALL FLAME BROKE OUT AROUND THIS BROKEN HEADLIGHT AND THE FLAME QUICKLY GREW BEFORE THE FIRE ENGINES COULD GET THERE, W/IN 5 MINUTES THE ENTIRE ENGINE AREA WAS ON FIRE AND THE CAR IS NOW TOTALED. THE FIRE CHIEF TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN A HEADLIGHT CATCH FIRE AND THEN SPREAD THE WAY THIS DID. I'M QUESTIONING WHETHER THIS WAS A MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL DEFECT IN THIS MODEL OF ACURA AND WHETHER I HAVE A CLAIM AGAINST ACURA. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS IN MONTEAGLE TENNESSEE MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. MY CAR ACTUALLY STARTED ROLLING BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO BACK IT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AS I WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I WAS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BECAUSE TRUCKS WERE COMING UP ON ME AND IT WAS NIGHT TIME. I WAS STRANDED FOR SIX HOURS IN THE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE MY CELL PHONE DID NOT WORK AND I DID NOT KNOW WHERE I WAS BECAUSE I WAS ON A TRIP TO CHICAGO FROM ATLANTA. LUCKILY A TENNESSEE STATE TROOPER SAW ME AND HE GOT ME A TOW TRUCK. I HAD TO STAY IN A HOTEL FOR TWO DAYS AND I HAD IT TOWED TO PYE ACURA IN CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE. MY CAR HAD 90000 MILES AT THE TIME. PYE ACURA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER THE 100000 MILE WARRANTY WITH NO PROBLEM AND HAD ME BACK ON THE ROAD. HOPEFULLY THIS TRANSMISSION WILL LAST, FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN HEARING, EVEN THE RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSIONS ARE BAD. I WAS STILL UPSET THOUGH BECAUSE I LOST A LOT OF MONEY PAYING FOR A HOTEL AND A TOW TRUCK, AND I WAS GOING TO CHICAGO FOR MY BIRTHDAY SO I MISSED MY PARTY. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION LOCKED ALMOST CAUSING VEHICLE BEHIND TO REAR-END ME. PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED REPORT ON THIS TO NHTSA, BUT WOULD LIKE TO ENTER ACURA'S RESPONSE. ACURA PERFORMED ONE OF THE TRANSMISSION RECALLS, BUT REFUSED TO PERFORM THE OTHER TRANSMISSION RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY AUTO WAS PREVIOUSLY SALVAGED, BUT AT THE TIME, NOW HAD A CLEAN TITLE. VEHICLES LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD FROM THE FIRST DATE OF PURCHASE SHOULD BE HONORED WHETHER OR NOT ALL WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN VOIDED, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS DANGEROUS. SINCE THEY HONORED ONE RECALL, THEY SHOULD ALSO HONOR THE OTHER.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN 3 YEARS. 1ST FAILURE AT 67,000 UNDER NORMAL FREEWAY DRIVING IN 2002. WHILE ENROUTE TO WORK IN THE MORNING, THE TRANSMISSION FROZE. 67.000 MILES LATER AT 134,000 THE 2ND TRANSMISSION FROZE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. BOTH TIMES I WAS IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I STARTED IMMEDIATE AND UNEXPECTED SLOWING. ON THE INITIAL FAILURE, FORTUNTELY A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN WAS ABLE TO SAFLEY STOP TRAFFIC AND GET ME OFF THE FREEWAY. I WAS LATER TOWED TO VALENCIA ACURA WHERE THEY DID REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS ABLE TO BORROW MY MOTHERS CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK WHILE THEY REPAIRED MY CAR. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE I WAS STUCK 80 MILES FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA IN THE HOT DESERT. IT COST ME $480.00 TO BE TOWED TO THE LOCAL ACURA IN LAS VEGAS AND WAS STRANDED OVER NIGHT, LOSING A DAYS WORK. I HAD ONLY PLANNED AND WAS PREPARED FOR A DAY TRIP TO PRIMM, NEVADA ON MY OFF DAY. I WAS FORCED TO RENT A CAR FOR $50.00 AND GET A HOTEL ROOM. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THE 2ND AND 3RD GEARS HAD FROZEN AND HE WOULD CHARGE ME $7000.00 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSON. THAT WAS OUTRAGEOUS SO I HAD TO RENT A TRUCK AND TRAILER AT A TOTAL COST OF $450.00 TO TOW MY CAR BACK HOME. THEN I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY DEALER, VALENCIA ACURA, WHERE I PURCASED THE CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD ALL MY MAJOR SERVICES,EXCEPT OIL CHANGES, DONE. MOST RECENTLY I HAD THE 100,000 MILE SERVICE DONE THERE. I WAS NEVER TOLD BY ACURA THAT THIS MODEL OF CAR HAS A FAULTLY TRANSMISSION DESTINED TO UNEXPCTED FAILURE. I HAD NO IDEA AND WOULD NEVER EXPECT THEY WOULD REPLACE ONE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION WITH ANOTHER THAT WOULD FAIL AT EXACTLY THE SAME MILEAGE. CURRENTLY, MY CAR IS SITTING AT THE DEALER WITH NO KNOWN DATE OF REPAIR AS ACURA IS UNWILLING TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE CURRENT DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DT: DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY, CONSUMER WENT TO CHANGE LANES, AND WHEN TAPPING THE BRAKE, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, AND PICKED UP ACCELERATION, WITH THE ACCELERATOR NOT BEING TOUCHED. THE ABS SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING. THE BRAKES REGAINED WORKING CONTROL AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO FISHTAIL AND TRY NOT TO HAVE A HEAD-ON COLLISION. THE CAR TURNED 180 DEGREES AROUND WITH NO BRAKE POWER. CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, WHEN THIS HAPPENED.... *TT

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ALMOST CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND TO REAR-END ME. IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. NHTSA HAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN ID#04V176000 THAT MY ACURA DEALER WILL NOT HONOR SINCE IT WAS PREVIOUSLY SALVAGED, BUT NOW HAS A CLEAN TITLE. SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT HONDA MOTOR AND THEY ALSO REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL. I HAD THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH ACURA'S UPDATED PARTS. I EXPECT REIMBURSEMENT AND A WRITTEN LETTER FOR DEALER TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AS IT MOST LIKELY WILL, ACCORDING TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES
ACCELERATOR CABLE/WIRE SNAPPED IN HALF WITHOUT WARNING.. THE GAS PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70MPH SINCE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AFTER THE CABLE BROKE. THE PART WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER, THE CAR ONLY HAD 25,011 MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS ONLY 2001 ACURA WHICH HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WITH SAFETY MAINTENANCE CHECKS EVERY 7,500 MILES. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO CHECK ON THE AUTOMOTIVE CHECK LIST FOR ACCELERATOR CABLE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN AT ALL. THE ACURA DEALER DID NOT EVEN CARRY THE PART IN THEIR STOCK. HOW COULD THIS FREAKY BREAKAGE OCCUR? WHY WAS THE ACCELERATOR FAULTY?*AK

NOTHING IN CAR RESPONDED - BRAKES, EMERGENCY BRAKE, GEAR SHIFTING...HAD TO TURN OFF CAR TO STOP IT! ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED. CAR WAS TOWED THIS MORNING (2 DAYS AFTER SITUATION) AND IS NOW AT DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAID THAT ALL WAS FINE - THE BATTERY COVER LOOKED OUT OF PLACE. I JUST HAD THIS CAR IN LAST WEEK FOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR, LET ALONE HAVE MY DAUGHTER DRIVE IT. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FURTHER TODAY.*AK
