Complaint
2000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TWO DAYS AGO, I BEGAN FEELING SLIPPING AND SURGING IN MY TRANSMISSION. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AND SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 - 60 MPH, MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTED TO SECOND GEAR, CAUSING THE CAR TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN WITHOUT CARS BEHIND ME BEING ALERTED BY BRAKE LIGHTS. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, AS THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO AVOID ME.
2003
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON THURSDAY 7/23/09 AS I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY ROAD AND WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD COLLISION WHEN MY TRANSMISSION QUIT WORKING. IT LURCHED ME FORWARD INTO MOVING TRAFFIC HOWEVER WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO GET ME MOVING. LUCKILY, THE ONCOMING SEMI TRUCK WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON IT'S BRAKES AND TURN TO AVOID A COLLISION. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED IF THE DRIVER HAD NOT BEEN ALERT AND PAYING ATTENTION. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION (NHTSA #04V176000) WHICH ACCORDING TO HONDA WAS ALREADY DONE ON MY CAR HOWEVER IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY. IT MAY NOT LOCK UP AS STATED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL HOWEVER A COMPLETE FAILURE TO MOVE IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CHECKING AROUND ONLINE, MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE MAKING THIS SAME COMPLAINT ON MY YEAR AND MODEL. ACURA NEEDS TO COMPLETELY RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS OR PEOPLE MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. *TR
