MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME ABOUT A "SILENT WARRANTY" THAT ACURA HAD ON '03 TL MODELS THAT WAS EXTENDED 7 YRS OR 100K MILES. WHEW! I'M IN LUCK, I THOUGHT, I'M IN THE 7TH YEAR AND I HAVE LESS THAN 100K MILES! I TOOK IT TO ACURA WHO SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T COVERED WHEN ACURA ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. ACURA SAID THEY'D PAY FOR HALF OF MY TRANSMISSION AS GOODWILL, BUT WE'D BE OUT OF POCKET $1750!!! UNACCEPTABLE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. THE MORE I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE THE MORE I REALIZE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE WHO HAVE THIS SAME MODEL YEAR AND HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE SINCE ACURA ADMITS FAULT WITH THE MODEL. I NOW HAVE A LUXURY HONDA PAPERWEIGHT SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. CAN'T SELL IT, CAN'T TRADE IT IN AND REFUSE TO PAY THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED. BAD FORM ACURA, BAD FORM!! I WON'T BE BUYING ANYMORE ACURA OR HONDA PRODUCTS THAT'S FOR SURE. *TR
