Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 50 MILES AN HOUR ON OUR WAY TO DROP OFF OUR CAR AT THE ACURA DEALERSHIP WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED IN TO 2ND GEAR LUNGING US FORWARD. LUCKILY WE WERE IN THE SLOW LANE AND ABLE TO PULL OVER AVOIDING AND ACCIDENT. CAR WAS TOWED TO ACURA AND NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN. SINCE THAT INCIDENCE WE HAVE HAD AN ADDITIONAL 2 TRANSMISSIONS PUT INTO THE CAR. ONE ON 11/8/04 AND THE MOST RECENT 5/24/06. *JB
