POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN 2002 ACURA 3.2 TL, IT WAS SERVICED ALL THE TIME AT ACURA DEALERSHIPS, CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 82,500 MILES ON ODOMETER. MY TRANSMISSION A FEW DAYS AGO STARTED MAKING HARSH SHIFTS IN THE RANGE 20-40 MPH. TODAY I EXPERIENCED A CRITICAL SITUATION ON HIGHWAY, WHEN PULLED IN FROM THE RAMP AT THE SPEED ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR, MY CAR ACCIDENTALLY LOWERED TO RPM LOWER THAN 1000 AND THEN AFTER A SECOND ACCELERATED AGAIN. I WAS SCARED TO SPEED IT UP AGAIN ABOVE 60 MPH, AND WENT OUT OF HIGHWAY ON NEXT EXIT. THEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP RIGHT AFTER THIS EVENT. TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT, WHICH GOING TO COST ME WITH WORK ABOUT $6000. THIS IS THE FIRST SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY CAR ENGINE IN WHOLE HISTORY OF USE. STRANGE, DEALERS OF ILLLINOIS, MICHIGAN AND CALIFORNIOA WERE TELLING US ALL THE TIME THAT WE ARE VERY CAREFUL CUSTOMERS AND KEEP OUR CAR IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT IS TRULY VERY CLEAN WITH ONLY DEFECT IN IT - TRANSMISSION. WE WANT TO KNOW - WHAT WE DID WRONG? *TR

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 ACURA TL ON 2/8/12. EACH DAY I DRIVE 35 MILES TO AND FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE 75 WITH A POSTED SPEED OF 70 MPH. WITHIN A FEW DAYS I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE CAR REACHED 70 MPH A PERSISTENT HIGH FREQUENCY VIBRATION CAME UP THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR AND IN PARTICULAR THROUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. BY THE TIME I REACHED WORK OR HOME MY ENTIRE RIGHT FOOT AND CALF WAS NUMB AND BUZZING. IT FELT AS THOUGH I HAD 'FALLEN ASLEEP" AND CAUSED THE NERVES TO BE TEMPORARILY NON-FUNCTIONAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE, HOWEVER, WHEN THEY CHECKED THEM THEY WERE NOT. THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE HAD A TEAR IN IT AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY ORDERED A NEW TIRE AND INSTALLED IT AND TRIED TO CHARGE ME $399 BUT THANKFULLY THE MANAGER GAVE IT TO ME A NO COST. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SIX TIMES. AT THE DEALER URGING I OPENED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA HEADQUARTERS. FILE NUMBER B012012-04-1601260. THE REPRESENTATIVE I DEALT WITH WAS "PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA),5 U.S.C. 552 (B) (6) WHO CAN BE REACHED AT "PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA),5.U.S.C 522 (B) (6). THREE CALLS WERE RECORDED BY HONDA. ONE OF THE SENIOR PERSONS AT THE DEALERSHIP CONFIDED IN ME THAT EVERYONE AT ACURA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO FIX."PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 522 (B)(6) TOLD ME THE SAME. SHE ACTUALLY CALLED THE VIBRATION A "VEHICLE CHARACTERISTIC." VIBRATION AT 70 MPH IS NOT A GOOD THING AND IN TIME IT MAY LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. BOTH ACURA AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO BUY ME OUT OF THIS VEHICLE AND SO LAST SATURDAY I TRADED OUT TO ANOTHER CAR AT A SUBSTANTIAL COST TO MYSELF. *TT UPDATED 07/09/12
