| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was speeding up approaching 50 mph. i went over a hill and saw a yellow light. i suddenly lifted up on the accelerator at which time, the transmission downshifted to second gear (1500rpm to approximately 5000rpm). the next acceleration had a slipping of the clutch effect. i had to accelerate gently to be able to speed up. i arrived home about 5 minutes later at which time the engine idle kept "wanting" to die, came close a few times, but managed to keep running. had the same problem 5 days later with the downshifting. i did not witness the slipping clutch effect after the second time i felt spontaneous downshifting. they both happened under similar circumstances. small shocks are felt sometimes when transmission changes gears. was informed by my local mechanic to report problem to acura. a few months earlier i spoke to acura at which time they informed me there was a part needed to be changed (recalled) in my transmission and that they would contact me after the part came in. i never received a follow-up. the reason i am following up this now because my mechanic told me that i needed to or that i may be stranded because the transmission may suddenly go dead. *jb |
