I OWN A 2001 ACURA TL. AS I WRITE THIS IT IS IN THE SHOP FOR IT'S THIRD TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALMOST IN THREE REAR END CRASHES AS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I STEPED ON THE GAS.

WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDETERMINED SPEED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. GOT REPLACED, BUT I SEE THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT SHALL WORK FINE IN FUTURE AND IT IS REALLY SCARY AS IT COULD FAIL IN SPEED AND COULD EXPECT PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONSUMER PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. THEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL FOR A LITTLE WHILE. AFTER A MILE OR TWO, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST POWER AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND ANOTHER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. *AK THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED. *SC THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED. *JB

I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN MY CAR TWICE IN A 2 YEAR PERIOD. EACH TIME IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING, AND AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I FEEL THIS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE.*AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE DRIVER MOMENTARILY LOST CONTROL. *PH THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE 2001 ACURA TL. BOUGHT USED AND HAS BEEN IN SHOP 6 OR 7 TIMES IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. BRAKES, TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, MASTER CYLINDER. BRAKES CONTINUE TO SEEMINGLY HAVE A PROBLEM...YOU HAVE TO ALMOST GO TO THE FLOOR TO STOP, BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS NORMAL ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. TRUE OR NOT-I DON'T KNOW. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, ALSO THE ABS AND TC LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. ALSO, IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THAT MY CAR NOW HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I HARDLY GO ANYWHERE. IT SEEMS THE ODOMETER IS VERY INACCURATE. THERE IS NO WAY I HAVE PUT 30,000 MILES ON THIS CAR SINCE APRIL OF 2003. COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ODOMETER ISSUE, BUT WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT'S POSSIBLE THEIR COULD BE A SPEED SENSOR ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. *LA
