Consumer Description

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY DRIVER OF MY CAR AND I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THE VEHICLE (NEARLY ALL DEALER-RECOMMENDED INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE IN TIMELY MANNER). THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED IN 2003, AS PER THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. ONCE AGAIN, MY CAR HAS BEEN RENDERED INOPERABLE BECAUSE THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION HAS NOW COMPLETELY FAILED (AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) - WITH 108,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WITH A MODERATE DRIVING HISTORY, A WELL-CARED-FOR CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TWO FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN NINE YEARS. AS A RETIREE, $4000 REPAIR COSTS OR USED CAR PURCHASE PRICES ARE BOTH PROHIBITIVE; AND ACURA DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
