TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ACURA TL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS HAD BEEN SLIPPING AND SLOW TO CHANGE OVER WITH A SUDDEN JERK OR LUNGE. THE RPMS WOULD RACE INTERMITTENTLY ONCE THE GEARS CHANGED AND THE ENGINE AND EMISSIONS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (RIVERTOWN HONDA, 4260 KENOWA AVE SW, GRANDVILLE, MI 49418, (616) 667-4500) CLEARED THE CODES, BUT THE CODES RETURNED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITHIN 48 HRS. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE DEALER COULD PROVIDE A SOLUTION AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK AGAIN WITH NO SPECIFIC REPAIR SOLUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FIRST OFF MY DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW HAS NEVER WORKED. I CHANGED MY WINDOW MOTOR WITH THE REGULATOR TWICE. THAT DID NOT FIX MY WINDOW. I CHANGED MY DRIVERS MASTER WINDOW MODULE TWICE. I CHECKED ALL OF THE FUSES AND THE POWER WINDOW FUSES WERE GOOD. MY POWER WINDOW STILL DOESN'T WORK AFTER $400 IN PARTS AND $400 IN LABOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY CAR HAD A FEW RECALLS. THE PERSON HELPING ME AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS REAL RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL. HE TOLD ME THE ONLY RECALL I HAD WAS FOR MY SRS AIRBAG. HE HAD TO ORDER THE PART. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO LET ME KNOW THE PART WAS IN. TWO WEEKS LATER I GO IN AND CHECK IF THE PART WAS I N. THE SAME PERSON THAT HELPED ME CAME UP TO ME AND HAD AN...

I BOUGHT MY ACURA FEBRUARY 2011. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD 2 TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $1400.00 EACH TIME I GOT IT FIXED BY THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. I STILL HAVE MY RECEIPTS AND ONLY GOT A 1 YEAR WARRANTY FIRST TIME AND A 3 MONTH WARRANTY THIS PAST TIME . IT SEEMS LIKE I AM PAYING MORE FOR THE TRANSMISSION ALONE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR. THE ENGINE IS GREAT BUT I AM AFRAID THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL AGAIN AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR FIX THE PROBLEM IF IT DOES FAIL AGAIN. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE THE FIRST FAILURE WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. WE WERE DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL TO OVERVIEW A CITY WE VISITED AND THE TRANSMISSION SHUT DOWN AND WE WERE INCLINED. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO APPROACH THIS...
