POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ACURA HAS MADE MANY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2001 AND 2002 TL AND CL. I THINK ACURA SHOULD WARN THEIR CUSTOMER OF THESE FAILURES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FOR THE FAILURE OF A TRANSMISSION. LUCKLY, I NOTICED MINES BEFORE TAKING THE CAR OUT OF PARK. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE, WE ARE SPENDING TO MUCH MONEY FOR A CAR THAT CAN NOT STAY OUT OF THE SHOP UNDER 50,000 MILES. AND TO ADD TO IT ALL OF THIS ACURA IS DOING NOTHING TO MY KNOWLEDGE TO CONTACT THE OWNERS AND HELP THE SITUATION.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IDENTICAL TO ITEM ODI ID: 8003029. ON MARCH 05, 2002, I DROVE MY CAR TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLACES TO TAKE CARE OF SOME ERRANDS. MY LAST STOP WAS AT THE SEMINOLE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT IN ALTAMONTE SPRINGS TO APPLY FOR A PASSPORT. I PARKED MY CAR IN A PARKING SPOT. WHILE I WAS MOVING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STICK INTO THE PARK POSITION (WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL), MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, CAUSING IT TO JUMP THE CURB IN FRONT OF MY CAR AS SEEN IN FIGURE 1. I TRIED MY BEST TO CONTROL THE CAR AND NOT TO HIT OTHER PARKED CARS. LUCKILY, I MANAGED TO AVOID ALL OF THE PARKED CARS EXCEPT ONE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE 15,000 MILES AND HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP A NUMBER OF TIMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM, ONLY TO HEAR THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE HESITATION OR SLIPPING WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, HAS GOTTEN SO BAD, WE ARE AFRAID TO JUMP OUT IN TRAFFIC. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE TRANSMISSION HAS LOCKED UP IN SECOND GEAR CAUSING US TO PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK PRIOR TO PROCEEDING. A FAIR AMOUNT OF INTERNET RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THE A LARGE NUMBER OF TL & CL OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A $32, 000 CAR.*AK
