POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION |
MY 2003 3.2 TL ACURA STARTED TO JERK SO I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIX THEY JUST SAID THAT I NEEDED MY OIL CHANGED AND A TUNE UP I GOT ALL OF THAT DONE THEN IT STILL CONTINUED TO JERK AGAIN. IT SEEMED THAT MY CAR WAS HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING INTO GEAR. SO I TOOK IT TO GET PUT ON A MACHINE AND THEY SAID I JUST NEEDED ANOTHER TUNE UP. WELL TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT WENT OFF SO I PULLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND READ MY ACURA'S MANUAL BOOK I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOWED THEM. TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME THE MANUAL SAID WAIT AND LET THE CAR COOL OFF. THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT AND MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I GOT IT TOAD HOME AND THEN I STARTED TO CALL AROUND TO TRY TO GET IT FIX. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MY 2003 3.2 TL ACURA'S TRANSMISSION HAD A RECALL THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED BY MY DEALERSHIP. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP PUT MY LIFE AT RISK TO SELL ME A LEMON I REALLY DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT. I HAVE CALLED ACURA CORP. NUMEROUS OF TIMES AND MY CAR STILL HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH. I NEED MY CAR I AM A HOMEHEALTH CARE ASSISTANT I HAVE BEEN MISSING WORK AND I HAVE LOST TWO OF MY CLIENTS BECAUSE LACK OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR |
