THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE SAFETY COMPLAINT THAT I SUBMITTED YESTERDAY. I JUST HAD AN UPDATE FROM THE TRANSMISSION SHOP ABOUT MY VEHICLE. IN THE INITIAL INSPECTION, THEY MISSED THE FACT THAT A BARING SPUN OUT AND SAID THIS WAS THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AND THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE BARING PART WAS 91007-PCJ-003. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE SECONDARY IDLE GEAR WAS ANOTHER MAIN COMPONENT THAT WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A CAR FROM A THIRD PARTY AND THE CAR DROVE NICELY BUT IT HAD SOME DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON SO I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY. HE WENT THROUGH THE CAR AND CHECKED THE CODES. THE CODE THAT CAME UP WAS THE TC (TORQUE CONVERTER) SOLENOID. HE RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION OIL TO SEE IF THAT MIGHT KNOCK OFF SOME CRUD OFF THE SOLENOID. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO GET IT SERVICED AND NOTICED ON MY WAY TO THE MECHANIC THAT MY CAR SEEMED TO COME TO A DEAD STOP WHEN I STOPPED INSTEAD OF HAVING THE FEELING LIKE IT WAS STILL IN GEAR AND READY TO MOVE FORWARD. I TOLD MY MECHANIC ABOUT IT, HE DID THE SERVICE AND SAID TO DRIVE IT AROUND TO GET THE NEW FLUID MOVING THROUGH THE SYSTEM. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING WORSE ISSUES, THE CAR WAS NOT GOING INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN I HIT THE GAS, THE RPMS WOULD GO UP AND THEN THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD INTO SECOND. I FELT THIS WAS NOT SAFE BECAUSE I COULD RAM INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IF I WASN'T CAREFUL. WHEN I WOULD STOP AT A LIGHT, I WOULD STOP SEVERAL FEET BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TO ALLOW FOR MORE ROOM TO LURCH AHEAD, AND I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PARKING MY CAR IN THE GARAGE IF IT MIGHT UNEXPECTEDLY LURCH INTO THE WALL. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME, MY D4 LIGHT WAS FLASHING. MY MECHANIC RECOMMENDED NOT DRIVING UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WAS CHECKED OUT. I WAS SURPRISED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ... AT 81,700 MILES!?!?. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A CLUTCH DRUM AND SOMETHING ABOUT A CEILING RING BEING WORN DOWN. THEY DID A SOFT PART OVERHAUL AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER, CLUTCH DRUM AND LINEAR SOLENOID. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR IN A PREVIOUS YEAR. I THINK THIS YEAR SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST. *TR
