Consumer Description

NO EVENTS. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AT 60 MPH STEADY SPEED MY 2001 ACURA CL'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SEIZED UP, CAUSING MY CAR TO DRAMATICALLY LOSE SPEED, AND ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO REAR-END ME. THE ACURA DEALER HAS SAID THAT SINCE IT HAS 130,000 MILES ON IT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. ACURA CLAIMS IT WAS RECALLED IN 2004 FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY "FIXED" IT THAT YEAR. I HAVE BEEN UNAWARE OF THIS DEFECT UNTIL NOW, SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2005. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC, AND TO WARN THE HUNDREDS OF SECOND-HAND OWNERS LIKE MYSELF WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS THIS VEHICLE IS. I CAN ONLY THANK GOD I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, OR WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TERRIFYING IT IS TO HAVE A CAR DO THAT WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION WILL NOW COST ME OVER $3,000 TO FIX, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED REGULARLY. *TR
