Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was passing a vehicle in my 3.2tl when suddenly the wheels seemed to have locked and my car came almost to a screeching halt. the next day i found out that the transmission failed. this is a very dangerous situation. the vehicles behind me could have easily rear-ended me and caused a chain reaction pile-up. luckily the car did not stop completely, so i was able to recover from the incident without personal injury and/or property damage. it angers me that acura is not owning up to the aparent transmission troubles that have been occurring. just a few weeks ago, my supervisor informed me that his transmission failed on his 3.2cl at only 18k miles. another concern is that the warranty is 4 years/50k miles and acura needs to extend the warranty until they figure out the problem with these transmissions. what am i supposed to do when the warranty ends? acura needs to be held accountable.*ak
