| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am one of thousands of owners of an acura 3.2 tl with the 5 speed automatic transmission who has had his suddenly fail on them while driving. while driving,the car without warning slipped into a lower gear, and it is now consistently slipping while changing from 2nd to 3rd gears. within the last week, honda of america has recalled over 600,000 5 speed automatic transmissions in their honda pilot, acura odyssey, and acura mdx models because of the possible safety hazard. the transmission found in the acura cl/tl model is the exact same transmission, and clearly suffers from the same defect. it is as much a safety issue in the cl/tl, and other model lines as well, and there are over 2000 people who feel the same way and signed this online petition http://www.petitiononline.com/acura/petition.html my only saving grace was that no one was on the road immediately behind me during this episode, or else i might had to report a crash with an injury or fatality. *jb |
