WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 295 AT 60MPH. PUSHED DOWN GAS TO ACCELERATE PAST THE CAR ON MY LEFT AND SWITCHED LANES. CAR MADE GRINDING NOISE AND THEN ACTED AS IF IN NEUTRAL. I CHECKED TO ENSURE THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. I KEPT TRYING TO ACCELERATE BUT THE ENGINE JUST REVVED, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME DUE TO THE SUDDEN LACK OF ACCELERATION. I PULLED TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND EXPERIMENTED WITH ACCELERATING SLOWLY. ONCE IT SHIFTED TO 3RD GEAR, I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO UTILIZE 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. THE TRANSMISSION HAD BLOWN. I CALLED ACURA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP PAY FOR THE COST SINCE THEY HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR SEVERAL YEARS BECAUSE THEY MUST HAVE KNOWN IT WAS DEFECTIVE OUT OF THE FACTORY. IT WAS ABOUT 8 MONTHS PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. ACURA WOULD NOT OFFER TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT COST. MY MECHANIC REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR NOW DRIVES FINE. *TR
