I HAVE A 2001 ACURA CL-S, HAVING SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT THEY SAY IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BY TIME. PROBLEM IS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 YEARS AGO I BROUGHT THIS TO SOMEONE'S ATTENTION AT ACURA , AND WAS PUSHED AWAY AS IF I KNEW NOTHING, AND NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME CLOSE TO $5000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

SEVERAL BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS IN 2001 ACURA 3.2CL. THIS LIKELY WILL LEAD TO DEFECTS IN TRANSMISSION AND OR ENGINE WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS INFORMATION ON BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY VEHICLE AND THE LIKELY AFFECTS CAME DIRECTLY FROM MY ACURA DEALER. IT IS LIKELY THESE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES AGO. IN 2008 THE CAR MILEAGE WAS ONLY 65,000 AND WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR ON DEC. 7,2009 IT HAS 92,000. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT TIME OF PURCHASE AND THE BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS WERE FOUND BY THE ACURA DEALERSHIP. I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS IN ANY OF 20 CARS I HAVE OWNED UNTIL NOW. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE MOTOR MOUNTS, OR A CREDIT PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURE TO OWNERS THAT NEED TO REPLACE BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. THIS TRULY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE ONLY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND QUITE POSSIBLY THESE BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OR A POSSIBLE CAUSE. OWNERS NEED TO BE INFORMED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BY INSPECTIONS BEING PERFORMED ON MOTOR MOUNTS FOR 2001 ACURA 3.2CL. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2001 ACURA 3.2 CL TYPE S. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR (APPROX 45 MPH) ON A BUSY TWO-LANE ROAD YESTERDAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING PRESSED. I HAD CARS COMING AT ME AT A HIGH SPEED BEHIND ME. I SAW AN OPENING IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC SO THAT I COULD TURN AND GET MYSELF AND MY CHILD OUT OF HARM'S WAY. WHEN I TURNED LEFT, MY CAR (I GUESS) DOWNSHIFTED AND CAME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP WITH CARS COMING BEHIND ME AND AT ME!!! I THANKFULLY SAFELY GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT SOUNDS LIKE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MYSELF AND MY SON COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN KILLED! WHAT DO I DO? AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 ACURA 3.2CL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY DOWN-SHIFTS. A TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURS BETWEEN THE SECOND AND THIRD GEAR. HE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS DISCOLORED; HOWEVER, SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE A FREE REMEDY. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,090.

NOW ON 3RD TRANSMISSION. 2ND OWNER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ABOUT 9 MOS. PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE (I AM 3RD OWNER). TRANSMISSION BLEW ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR AND I PURCHASED NEW TRANSMISSION THROUGH ACURA WHO OFFERED ABSOLUTELY NO ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, WE WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 65 MPH AND CAR VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTED, NEARLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ACURA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THE TRANSMISSION THAT THE 2ND OWNER HAD PUT IN WAS A TRANSMISSION THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED TO CORRECT THE KNOWN PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY NOT, SINCE THE THING BLEW WITH ONLY 77K MILES ON IT! 152K MILES ON THIS CAR AND 3 TRANSMISSIONS. RIDICULOUS. *TR
