| 2001 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NO FORWARD MOMENTUM FROM THE CAR. STEPPED ON THE GAS AND NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF TO AN EXIT AND PARK IN A FAIRLY SECURE SPOT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST ACURA DEALER. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED FOR MY CAR AND IT WOULD BE ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE I WOULD GET MY CAR BACK. *LA |
