| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving on the freeway at 65 mph and my 2001 acura cl type s downshifted into 1st or 2nd gear causing the car to slow abruptly and swerve. the people behind me almost hit me and i almost hit the car in the lane next to me (not ot mention the pain of the seatbelt cutting into my neck). good thing the seatbelt did would or i could have sustained injuries slamming into the stearing wheel or windshield. the acura is on it's second transmission with only 41,000 miles on it, this next one will be the 3rd. i was told that acura is aware of the problem. i was also told that none of the replacement transmissions are "new". they are all "remanufactured" with a 36,00 mile or 3 yr warranty. obviously with the same problems not being fixed. this vehicle is a danger to have on the road. why doesn't acura fix the problem. perhaps a lawsuit would inspire them to correct the problem hopefully before someone dies.*ak |
