Complaint
2003
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND REVS AT APPROX 55-65 MPH, SO STRONGLY CAR LOSES DIRECTION WHILE DRIVING AND PASSENGER FEELS 'JOLT', DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED TRANSMISSION TWICE, ALSO REPLACED EGR VALVE, PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. AXLE NOT PROPERLY REPLACED; TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING OUT WHICH CAUSED CAR TO SMOKE. MET WITH REGIONAL SERVICE REP WHO WAS CONDESCENDING AND PATRONIZING, AND OFFERED 'ACCESSORIES'. TRANSMISSION #1 WAS 'REFURBISHED' AND GUARANTEED BY ACURA BY 150,000 MILES-->WAS REPLACED BY #2 WHICH WAS 'NEW'...STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM-EXTREMELY UNSAFE!! I JUST WANT A CAR THAT IS SAFE AND WORKS!!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
THERE IS A LOUD GROWLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGING COMPARTMENT OF MY 1996 ACURA 2.5 TL. THE DEALER INFORMED THAT IT IS A CRACKED MANIFOLD AND HE HAS SEEN IT MANY TIMES BEFORE. HOWEVER, THEY STILL DID NOT OFFER TO SUBSIDIZE THE REPAIR IN ANY WAY. I WOULD THINK THAT AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD SHOULD NOT CRACK THIS EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR. WHAT IS EVEN WORSE, IS IT IS KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE MANIFOLD IS THE SAME AS THAT FROM THE OLD ACURA VIGOR'S. I WOULD THINK THE MANUFACTURER WOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BY NOW. I SINCERELY HOPE THE MANUFACTURER CORRECTS THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY AS IT MAY POSE A FIRE HAZARD.
