Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION IN MY 2003 ACURA CLS HAD SHIFTING PROBLEMS. IT WOULD DOWNSHIFT RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON AND THROW YOU HARD AGAINST YOUR SEAT BELT. IT WAS SO BAD I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED. OTHER ACURA CL'S AND ACURA PRODUCTS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT REQUIRED THEM TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT MINE WAS SUPPOSEDLY A VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT AFFECTED AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE ACURA DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND COVERED 1/2 THE COST AFTER I ASKED THEM TO CONTACT THEIR LOCAL ACURA DEALER REP. *TR
