| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | 1. THE GEARS IN MY ACURA BEGIN TO SLIP ON A SATURDAY MORNING AT THE END OF A FAMILY BEACH TRIP AND SOON THERE AFTER ON THE WAY BACK HOME WHICH WAS OVER 200 MILES WAYS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. 2. ABOUT HALFWAY HOME(100 OR SO MILES), THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAMILY ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY, AND MY WIFE AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE RURAL NORTH CAROLINA WITH A 1 YEAR OLD AND A 5 YEAR OLD. 3. AFTER ALL THIS HAPPEN, I LEARNED OF A RECALL ON THE ACURA TL 2003 TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING THE ACURA.COM AND THE DEALERSHIP, THIS DEFECT WAS FIXED. I DO NOT THINK IT WAS FIXED BECAUSE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF MY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE CALLED THE HONDAACURA CORPORATE OFFICE, THE NEAREST ACURA DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME ANSWER FROM ALL OF THEM, "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO". I THINK THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR |
