2001 Acura Cl

I TOOK MY CAR TO NALLEY ACURA 1355 COBB PARKWAY SOUTH MARIETTA GEORGIA 30060 THE TOLD ME THEY PUT IN A JETTER INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND TOOK A PICTURE INTO MANUFACTURER. I ASKED FOR A SUMMATION OT WHAT THEY DID AND THEY SENT ME BACK PICTURES OUT OF A BOOK NOTHING SIGNED WHERE ANYONE DONE ANYTHING JUST PICTURES OUT OF A BOOK. THIS WAS A RECALL OF 2ND GEAR TRANSMISSION CLAIM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 ACURA CL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) IN 2004 BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000. *TR

PARKED CAR. MOVED TRANSMISSION LEVER TO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS PARK (PUSH STRAIGHT UP). STARTED TO SWING OUT OF CAR PUTTING WEIGHT ON OUTSIDE FOOT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY WAS REMOVED - IT CAN BE REMOVED IN ANY GEAR POSITION JUST LIKE THE 2001 HONDA ACCORD RECALL SAYS. THE ACURA OF THE SAME YEAR NEVER HAD THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS USING THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART NUMBERS. CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND I WAS FORCED TO STOP CAR USING FOOT AND HAND PRESSURE RESULTING IN SLIGHT SPRAIN TO WRIST REQUIRING NO ADDITIONAL CARE. THIS IS A TROUBLING SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS ACTUALLY RECALLED FOR HONDA BRAND VEHICLES ONLY IGNORING ACURA BRAND DEFECTS. *TR

I HAVE HAD 2 TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED AND MY 3RD TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AS WELL. I HAVE GONE THROUGH ACURA TO SEE IF THEY COULD GOODWILL THE TRANSMISSION SINCE I AM A VICTIM OF THIER FAULTY TRANSMISSION RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $5,100 TO REPLACE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT MY FAULT AS THEY HAVE ENGINEERED A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT HAS REULTED IN DEATHS AND SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I WAS JUST OUT SIDE THE 3YR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND THE WOULD NOT HELP. AS A MEMBER OF OUR ARMED SERVICES I FEEL I AM BEING TREATED VERY UNFAIRLY AND I FEAR FOR MY LIFE EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY VEHICLE. I AM NOT ABLE TO PAY THIS KIND OF MONEY TO REPLACE THERE PROBLEM. *TT
