NHTSA Complaint #10307469 — 2003 ACURA TL

I ALREADY FILED A CLAIM, BUT HAVE FURTHER INFORMATION. MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 2003 ACURA 3.2TL THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS OF THESE CARS (BOTH IN AGE AND MAKE AND MODEL), BUT OUR VIN # IS NOT IN THE LOT OF VIN'S UNDER THE RECALL. THREE DAYS AFTER I FILED THE COMPLAINT WITH YOU THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 40 MPH. LUCKILY HE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. HE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP. WE HAD THEM REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEIR ORIGINAL BID WAS FOR $4,600. WE HAD BIDS FROM TRANSMISSION SHOPS TO DO THE JOB FOR $2,000. THE DEALERSHIP NEGOTIATED AND DID THE WORK FOR $2,000. I SPOKE WITH ROBERT FROM THE NHTSA AND HE SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR TRANSMISSIONS SEIZING WHEN THE VEHICLES WERE BEING OPERATED. I FEEL THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADD THIS INFORMATION TO MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. *TR
