Consumer Description

2001 ACURA 3.2 TL NEEDED TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2006 DUE TO A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT. MILEAGE ON CAR AT THAT POINT WAS ABOUT 61,000 MILES. AUGUST 2010 TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 98,000 MILES ON IT. SO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHEN IT HAD INCURRED 37,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE IT UNDER THE SAFETY RELATED DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID ORIGINALLY THAT I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $5,000 TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION. FINALLY, AFTER MUCH HASSLE, THEY MADE ME PAY $1,005 AND I HAD TO PAY $330 FOR A RENTAL. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO THE SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR IT. CLEARLY THE TRANSMISSION THAT THEY INSTALLED IN 2006 WAS DEFECTIVE, JUST AS THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH LITTLE OR NO WARNING IN AUGUST AND I VERY EASILY COULD HAVE HAD A CRASH. IT LOCKED UP AND I COULD BARELY MOVE IT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR
