POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2000 ACURA 3.2 TL HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. CONSUMER BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION FROM DAY ONE AND NOT RELATED TO THE IMPLIED LACK OF ADEQUATE TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE SECOND TRANSMISSION THAT WAS INSTALLED PRESENTED SEVERE PROBLEMS. SHIFTING FROM SECOND GEAR INTO THIRD GEAR BECAME IMPOSSIBLE, AND THE MAXIMUM SPEED ACHIEVABLE WAS BETWEEN 20 AND 25 MPH. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE NEXT DAY, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

TO REPAIR A TRUNK LEAK MY DEALER FOUND THE TAIL LIGHT GASKETS ON BOTH SIDES FAILED ALLOWING WATER TO LEAK INTO THE TRUNK. HE FURTHER STATED THIS IS COMMON IN THE BODY STYLE CAR I OWN AND THAT OTHER MODELS EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANTLY FEWER REPAIRS OF THIS NATURE. *NLM
