Consumer Description

WE WERE ON A VACATION IN ARIZONA, HAD THE 90K SERVICE DONE 2 DAYS BEFORE TRAVELING. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL THE 3RD DAY OF OUR TRIP. WE WERE HEADED TO TOMBSTONE, AZ. FOR A DAY TRIP ABOUT 90 MILES EACH WAY FROM TUCSON WHERE WE WERE STAYING, ABOUT 40 MILES OUTSIDE OF TOWN ON I-10 THE TRANSMISSION STARTS LOSING TORQUE AND THE TRANSMISSION TEMP WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, I PULL OVER AND CALL AAA AND GET TOWED TO AN ACURA DEALER IN TUCSON. I GET A CALL FROM THE DEALER A SHORT TIME LATER SAYING I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION TO THE TUNE OF 4,000.00. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECS BY A CERTIFIED HONDA/ACURA REPAIR SHOP. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JUST FAIL WITH NO WARNING. LUCKILY WE HAVE FAMILY IN TUCSON THAT WE COULD STAY WITH, WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED AND REPLACED. NEEDLESS TO SAY OUR VACATION WAS RUINED. *TR
