| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | MY VEHICLE IS SHUDDERING ON THE 2ND TO 3RD GEAR UPSHIFT. LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS OCCURRING WITH GREATER AND GREATER FREQUENCY, AFTER JUST A SHORT TIME OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED A RE-MAN TRANSMISSION. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THIS BEING RELATED TO THE KNOWN RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, THEY STATED THEY WOULD BRING THIS UP TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER'S REPLY WAS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH, SO THEY WOULD NOT LOOK INTO THIS ANY FURTHER, AND WOULD FIX THIS DEFECT. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE RECALL WAS CLOSED FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT ONLY AN INSPECTION WAS DONE; THERE WAS NO JET KIT INSTALLED, NO TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT DONE. THEY INSPECTED, AND SENT IT ON ITS WAY, AND NOW IT IS FAILING. I FEAR THAT THE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS KNOWN RECALLED DEFECT NOT BEING CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER, WILL BE TRANSMISSION LOCKUP AT SPEED, LEADING TO A CRASH. *KB |
| 2005 | POWER TRAIN | AS DRIVING TO WORK THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP SHIFTING GEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO STOP TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER LANE WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. PRIOR TO THE CAR NOT SHIFTING GEARS I HEARD A GRINDING METAL NOISE COMING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE, A NOISE THAT I'VE BEEN HEARING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER APPARENTLY IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO ACURA BUT THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING IN REFERENCE TO IT. *TR |
