2002 ACURA TL Complaints

I AM ON MY TENTH TRANSMISSION ON AN '02 ACURA TL TYPE S. ACURA IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING BUT CONTINUE TO PUT IN BAD TRANNIES. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED EVEN AFTER ACURA HAS REPLACED IT THREE TIMES ON THEIR RECALL. ADDITIONALLY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP IT IS SO VIOLENT THAT IT BREAKS THE ENGINE MOUNTS.

TRANSMISSION ACTING UP FOR MONTHS. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM WITH DEALER ON SEVERAL LONG VISITS. TRANSMISSION WAS REACHING DANGEROUS LEVEL, NOT SHIFTING, REVVING WITHOUT ENGAGING, ETC. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 38,000 MILES OR SO (NOT SURE SPECIFICALLY). STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP NOT VERY HELPFUL. HONDA IS COVERING UP TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SERVICE STINKS. *JB

2002 ACURA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *BF THE CONSUMER HAD THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION PERFORMED, BUT THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING POORLY AGAIN. *JB *NM

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN STALLING WHILE ON THE ROAD. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR CHECK UP, AND RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION.*AK

2002 ACURA 3.2TL TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. ***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE CONSUMER'S TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL CAMPAIGN REFERENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BUT WAS UNSURE WHAT COMPONENT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE PRIOR TO RECALL NOTIFICATION AT 50000 MILES. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED TRANSMISSION JERKED. CONSUMER PULLED OVER, AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FOUR TIMES, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY BLIND OTHER DRIVERS WHEN ON THE ROAD AND COME OVER A HILL. THIS IS INCREASING THE OWNER'S CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE OTHER DRIVERS ARE NOT ABLE TO VIEW THE ROAD, AND COULD CAUSE A HEAD ON COLLISION BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE CONSUMER.*AK

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RECALL. DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO DISCOLORATION, AND PLACED INJECT INTO THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER EXPERIENCED SECOND GEAR SLIPPAGE. DEALER URGED CONSUMER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHO TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, AND STATED THERE WAS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM, AND THE MANUFACTURER NEEDED TO AUTHORIZE ANY FURTHER REPAIRS. NO RECALL FOUND. **AK

I AM ON MY 6TH TRANSMISSION IN A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE 5TH ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK WHICH WOULD HAVE HIT THE SPOT WHERE MY 3 YEAR OLD WAS SITTING. THE 5TH TRANSMISSION LASTED ONLY 3 WEEKS! THIS CAR IS PAID FOR AND I WANTED TO KEEP IT FOREVER. BUT, APPARENTLY, I WILL BE FORCED TO SELL IT(FOR NEXT TO NOTHING) BEFORE 100K MILES SINCE ACURA WILL ONLY REPLACE THEIR BAD TRANNY WITH A BADDER ONE FOR UP TO 100K MILES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. TWICE I HAVE HAD NEAR MISSES WHILE TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE AFTER THE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY LOCKED UP ON ME. CAN'T ANYONE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?!?! HOW IS IT LEGAL, OR ETHICAL (EVEN THOUGH ETHICS SEEMS TO BE A THING OF THE PAST IN BUSINESS ANYMORE) TO CONTINUALLY PUT PEOPLE, AND THEIR FAMILIES, BACK ON THE STREET KNOWING THESE CARS ARE STILL UNSAFE. I AM SORRY, BUT I USED TO BELIEVE ACURA/HONDA WAS ABOVE THAT. OBVIOUSLY, I WAS WRONG. *AK
