Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2002 tl lease in november of 2002. got my first new transmission at around 30,000 miles, in late september 2002. it downshifted on the freeway on the offramp to acura oxmoor in louisville going 60 mph, then the engine revved and i couldn't stop it. i thought i was going to die. my now ex-husband insisted we lease the car and now i'm stuck with it in the divorce, it's over milage and in order to get the milage forgiven i have to buy it from them in november at an inflated price and with bad credit from my divorce. the trade in value has fallen $7000 since february. oh yes, at 86,000 miles the second tranny has gone bad. this time it downshifted again while i was driving on a slick street in the rain. these transmissions fail with no warning. this is the thrid transmission and the car has lost all its value because it is a known problem i'm afraid to drive it.*ak
