POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I TOOK MY ACURA TL-S 2003 IN FOR THE 30,000 MILE SERVICE ON OCTOBER 27, 2004. AT THIS TIME I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD BE EXAMINED FOR DAMAGE DUE TO INCORRECT LUBRICATION. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL BEFORE THIS. THE EXAMINATION WAS DONE, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED FINE AND THEY HAD INSTALLED AN OIL JET KIT. ON NOVEMBER4, 2004 MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC HOME. THE TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO LOCK CAUSING A SUDDEN DECELERATION THEN ALTERNATED BETWEEN SLIPPING AND LOCKING. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED, I AM CONVINCED I WOULD HAVE HAD A BAD ACCIDENT. AS IT WAS I NEARLY WAS REAR ENDED BY AN UNSUSPECTING MOTORIST BEHIND ME (IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE AND OF COURSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT ALERT THAT MOTORIST). THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM VSA OFF LIGHT LIT UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO ACURA WHERE THEY "CONDEMNED" THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL BE PUTTING A REFURBISHED TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE THEY LOOKED AT MY PREVIOUS ONE, MADE THE CHANGES THAT THEY BELIEVE WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, AND THEN MY TRANSMISSION STILL FAILED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS PROBLEM, SOONER OR LATER!*AK
