Complaint
2003
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
RECALL WAS FOUND ON THE INTERNET. AFTER CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT NOT RECEIVING RECALL LETTER, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT SEND HIM THE LETTER AGAIN, THEIR OBLIGATION WAS FULFILLED WITH RECALL 04-V176000 CONCENING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HOWEVER, TRANSMISSION WAS STILL DEFECTIVE. *AK
2003
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION IN MY 2003 ACURA TLS HAD BEEN RECALLED OCT, 5TH, 2004 FOR AN OIL JET INSTALL. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A CERTIFIED ACURA DEALERSHIP IN FRANKLIN, TN. ON JUNE 3RD, 2006. WAS NEVER DISCLOSED OF THIS ISSUE. I LEARNED OF THIS PROBLEM ON NHTSA WEB SITE. RECENTLY IN MARCH OF 2009 AND WITH 95,000 MILES ON THE CAR, I NOTICED A HESITATION WHILE ACCELERATING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY WARRANTY WAS UP AT 100,000 MILES. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, OR SO THEY SAY, AND IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I DROVE IT OFF THE DEALER LOT. UPON RETURNING THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY, THEY ASSURED ME THEY WOULD REPLACE THAT 2ND TRANSMISSION WITH A 3RD. HOWEVER, THE WARRANTY WOULD ONLY COVER TO THE ORIGINAL 100,000 MILE EXTENSION LEAVING ME WITH 5 THOUSAND MILES TO TEST THIS 3RD TRANSMISSION. THE KNOWN FAILURE RATE ON THESE(CHECK NHTSA) IS ASTOUNDING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS? ARE THEY PUTTING THESE SAME KNOWN DEFECTIVE PARTS INTO THESE REMANUFACTORED TRANSMISSIONS? WHY DOESN'T ACURA STAND BEHIND EACH ONE WITH A NEW SEPARATE WARRANTY? *TR
