Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 acura cl 2.3 the transmission has gone out for the third time. some of the things i find dangerous are the fact that the car when sitting at a stop and then proceding to accelerate revved to high rpms and then bogs down and barely moves. i was sitting at a red light going to make a right turn and when i accelerated the car rolled forward at a very slow pace like it was in a really high gear even after depressing the accelerator half way down. all of a sudden the trans mission violently changes gears and propells me from the lane i am turning in to the next lane over. i have also has occasions where the transmission will rapidly change back and forth through the high and low gears while driving for aparent reason. i am afraid that if this keeps up i will end up in an accident. the car is a 1998 i have never owned a car that had so many transmission problems in my whole life. 3 transmissions since 1998 is rediculace. there is something very wrong with the transmissions in these cars and the cost to have them fixed is outrageious. i should not have to repeatedly pay to have an obvious engering or manufacture defect fixed.*ak
