POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2002 ACURA TL TYPE S FAILED THIS WEEK. FROM OTHER SOURCES, THIS APPEARS TO HAVE HAPPENED WITH MANY MORE OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE MODEL. I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE STARTED TO FIX ALL THE MODELS CONTAINING THIS TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE IT WITH A BETTER DESIGN.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION IN 2000 3.2 TL IS VERY DANGEROUS. GOING 65 MPH AND DROPPED TO 2ND GEAR AND TRANSMISSION IS GONE. IT SEEMS THERE IS A TON OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRATY AND THEY WONT SELL THE PARTS TO FIX IT B/C THEY CAN'T MAKE ENOUGH FOR ACURA TO REPLACE EVEYONE ELSES. THEY NOW WANT $6000 TO FIX. THEY CAN'T MAKE ENOUGH PARTS TO SUPPLY FOR THEMSELVES? SEEMS LIKE A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS. PLEASE RECALL TRANSMISSION ON 2000 ACURA TL BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM ONE OF THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF AN ACURA 3.2 TL WITH THE 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHO HAS HAD HIS SUDDENLY FAIL ON THEM WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING,THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING SLIPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR, AND IT IS NOW CONSISTENTLY SLIPPING WHILE CHANGING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, HONDA OF AMERICA HAS RECALLED OVER 600,000 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS IN THEIR HONDA PILOT, ACURA ODYSSEY, AND ACURA MDX MODELS BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. THE TRANSMISSION FOUND IN THE ACURA CL/TL MODEL IS THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION, AND CLEARLY SUFFERS FROM THE SAME DEFECT. IT IS AS MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE CL/TL, AND OTHER MODEL LINES AS WELL, AND THERE ARE OVER 2000 PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY AND SIGNED THIS ONLINE PETITION HTTP://WWW.PETITIONONLINE.COM/ACURA/PETITION.HTML MY ONLY SAVING GRACE WAS THAT NO ONE WAS ON THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME DURING THIS EPISODE, OR ELSE I MIGHT HAD TO REPORT A CRASH WITH AN INJURY OR FATALITY. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MY 2002 ACURA TL 3.2 TYPE S EXPERIENCED MAJOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE - COMPLETE LOSS OF THIRD GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A "NEW" UNIT. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THE UNIT WAS NEW AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS INDEED. AFTER ONE WEEK, THE SHIFT PATTERN WAS STILL QUITE ROUGH AND WE SMELLED BURNT TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE RETURNED THE CAR TOT HE DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION - THEY DISCOVERED METAL PARTICLE CONTAMINATION IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER ADVISED US THAT THE CAR NEEDED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION - THIS TIME I VERIFIED THAT THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS NOT NEW, BUT A REMANUFACTURED UNIT (THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENT). OUR VEHICLE HAD THE THIRD TRANSMISSION INSTALLED - HOWEVER, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LEVEL OF CUSTOMER SERVICE DISPLAYED BY ACURA AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES. *AK
