| 2003 | WHEELS:RIM | FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE CAME UNSEATED FROM THE RIM AND JERKED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AT 55 MPH AND INTO A DITCH. *LA |
| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | 2003 ACURA 3.2CL TYPE S - 75,000 MILES - MANUAL TRANSMISSION (MT) IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO SECOND AND REVERSE GEARS. ALSO NOTICED THAT AFTER HOLDING THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, SITTING IN TRAFFIC, ETC., THE PRESSURE CHANGES WHILE LETTING THE PEDAL OUT AND DOESN'T ENGAGE/CATCH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT. MUST PUSH PEDAL DOWN AGAIN AND TRY TO SHIFT AGAIN. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES THIS HAPPENED, I SHIFTED FROM FIRST INTO SECOND GEAR AND THE GEAR GRINDED AND CAR JERKED. THE PEDAL PRESSURE ALMOST FEEL LIKE A BRAKE PEDAL DOES WHEN COMPRESSED AND THERE IS AIR IN THE LINE. AT OTHER TIMES, IT FEELS LIKE I'M PUSHING IN MY 1978 Z-28 MANUAL CLUTCH PEDAL....HEAVY! SERVICE DEPT IS EXCELLENT AT DEALER LOCATION. COMPLAINT BEING FILED TO ENSURE THAT A PROBLEM IS NOTED WITH THE MT IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES; WHICH COULD LEAD TO A RECALL. *NM |
