Consumer Description

THE CAR HAD A TRANSMISSION RECALL ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO. SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I DID SOME RESEARCH TO DETERMINE IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE. I CALLED ACURA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IN MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED. ABOUT A YEAR LATER, MY CAR WAS STARTING TO EXPERIENCE SHIFTING PROBLEMS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. SINCE THE CAR HAS FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE (79,201) I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT ODD. NOW THAT I THINK OF IT, IT STILL APPEARS THAT THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION HAD NOT BEEN CORRECTED (AS THESE THINGS SHOULD LAST 100K+ MILES). I'M LOGGING THIS COMPLAINT TO SEE IF ANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.
